I concur with @Stefan Mikes, 50nm of torque for hilly country as found in MA, combined with that Nexus rear hub is going to be a disappointment for you. IMO. As far as the belt drive goes, every bike mfr advertising a belt drive by Gates, will advertise that fact in their info. I see non of that...

No problem, Al. "Diagnosing bike squeaks" on the internet always seems to be like a dog chasing his tail! We can also file that under "my motor is making a noise...."

Your safe bet would be a silicone spray or silicone dielectric grease (Example here: https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_7651190?cid=paidsearch_shopping_dcoe_google&campaign=GSC-Chemicals&campaign_id=6478876245&adgroup_id=115972171828&adtype=pla&gc versus a petroleum based grease which could...

In the times I have turned on the PearTune right outside my drive and before a long run of say, 30 miles; I have not noted any appreciable loss of battery capacity because of the destrictor. I don't use the PearTune much at all. I consider it the real "Turbo" button to hit if I need to beat a...

The speed chip allows the same level of assist to be outputed by the motor at speeds above 19mph, when the standard factory Yamaha setup would normally cut the motor assist out. This additional assist works whether on level, uphill or downhill conditions. Still, to be at or above 20 requires...

I'm not sure if the wax vs petroleum lube debate will ever be settled. Kudos to the participants in keeping their cool as most of the time, energetic discussions like this one always ends with somebody putting somebody else on Ignore or at the worst, somebody gets a lifetime suspension...

If the display can be opened up (controller, too), it's worth a shot to place the opened display and controller in a container of rice. Plain, white rice, that is. Leave it for a few days and see what happens. The rice will absorb any moisture present. Of course, your flavored rices such as the...

It looks to be free-riding on that wave of air being pushed by the Jeep. This reminds me of something I saw while our USCG cutter was out on patrol, some 200 miles off the coast of the northeast Atlantic; a pod of 3-5 dolphins would swim directly in front of the bow of the ship while she was...

Welcome to the forum! I really believe that once you get into a routine of riding your ebike and that you consistently stay with it, that you will be able to UP that 10 year life expectancy to 15 plus years. At a minimum, your cardiac system is going to thank you for getting that ebike! :)

@Drwhitenack-7000 miles is just the warm up act for your Yamaha drive train. I've almost 19 thousand miles on my Haibike Full FatSix Yamaha PW drive system with no motor or battery or ancillary system failures. However, at 7000 miles, your chain is most likely stretched and in need of replacment...

A little late answering this question, but I have a Bike E FX two wheeled, dual suspension recumbent. Haven't ridden it for 20 years now as other bikes and now, the Haibike Full FatSix is my favorite and only bike riding option! https://bicycleman.com/bikee-fx-recumbent-bike/ Two things to...

This is fantastic news. I hope you consider my suggestion of keeping him housebound. Worries about wondering off and getting attacked by some predator or hit by a vehicle are eliminated. The cat will acclimate to the new routine.

So sorry to hear this, Scooter. My hope is that your beloved Top Hat shows up at the front door soon. And when he does.......that will be the last time he is allowed outside the house as he now transitions into a new world as a house cat! All the best to you and Mrs Scooter during this uncertain...

All the best to a speedy and full recovery. When it comes to black ice or ice of any kind & you are a commuter, there is no good one-fits-all answer. Studs on paper sounds like a great solution and only if you aired down those tires and still, tip-toed your way anytime you turned your handlebar...

Al, many thanks! I've long been convinced that there is not one particular component, one particular tire, anything and everything including riding styles that is a fit-one/fits all standard. That's why I'll pretty much stay away from those threads asking advice about what saddle or grip works...

@6zfshdb, the D&R section I refer to starts at Lock 1 in Bordentown and ends at Lamberton Road/Duck Island. It's only about 4 miles from both end points. At Lamberton Road, the D&R as you know, was filled in and highways built atop it. It requires alot of street running to access the D&R feeder...

I guess I'm the exception to that rule. Since April, 2017, I've been exclusively riding my Haibike Full FatSix with it's Yamaha PW drive set in the High power position. There have been very few times when I haven't and they've always involved some kind of need for conserving battery power; such...

Back to the OP and the original post...... I believe @6zfshdb had great, internal Situational Awareness instincts as to what he came upon on that remote trail ride. To be dismissive of that kind of encounter would be foolish. Especially today, when homeless (with any kind of human behavorial...

Fair questions, Al. But I want to believe as adults, we all come here with a basic understanding about how the human propelled bicycle works. (that assumption is more likely a critical error on my part!) Not so much about adjusting a derailleur, but more a basic understanding that if I shift the...
