I’ve seen several reviews that say that the Bosch motor gives far more miles per charge than the Yamaha, is this not the case?

No, I already have an Engwe EP2 fat tyre e-bike but it’s bloody heavy and killing my back to lift it into the car! Ive still not ridden the Yamaha so I’m a bit nervous ordering the Haibike. What if I don’t like it etc! I’ve looked for used bikes but none of these companies apart from...

The only 48cm Haibike was on eBay from Germany. I sent the company an email asking if it would carry a uk warranty and where I’d take it if something went wrong and they never replied. I have found a couple of the womens model or ‘low standover’ as they call it, with the lower cutaway and I’m...

I’ve ridden the Alport HTE and it was brilliant. Loved the fatter tyres and the Bosch motor but wasn’t wild about the fact that it didn’t have mudguards or lights etc. Unfortunately the dealer didn’t have the Urban model and I’ve not been able to find one anywhere. Delivery is apparently in Feb...

I’m a hard time deciding which bike to go for. I was initially looking at a Haibike Trekking 4 but there seem to be a couple of alternatives at approximately the same price from lesser known companies like Gepida and Forme. These bike (including the Haibike) all seem to have more or less the...

Thanks guys, that Revelo link was the product I saw before. Seems perfect! Many thanks.

Looking to get a new ebike but the one problem is that I need to fit it into the back of the car. I can take the front wheel off but I was wondering if there was anything that would allow me to turn the handlebars by 90 degrees quickly. I saw some video of some fitting that allowed you to...

Yeah, won’t be doing that again. I’ll see if I can get a pic tomorrow morning and post it.

Phew, all working now. Must have just needed some juice to get it working again!

Hmmm... battery now plugged in after letting it cool down for 2 hrs ( it wasn’t hot anyway) and nothing is coming on, even the leds on the battery seem dead! The bike control panel is also dead! Is there a reset button or something somewhere?

Ok, just an update. Went pure electric today (I just had to see for myself) and the bike cut out after 25.5 miles. Quite a few hills in there and a couple nasty ones that I assisted on. The rest was all battery. The bike went to 1 bar at 17 miles but stayed on for another 8 miles after that! It...

Many thanks guys! I was told that the BMS would cut the power to the bike if the voltage drops below 36v (as this is the minimum that the motor needs to work). When this happens, can I leave it for a while and ride it again to get home?

350w motor on the rear hub. Generic fat tyre Chinese bike with a battery between the seat and the rear wheel. Display is a Yose Power C500. Not sure if any of this helps.

It is a 36v battery. 36v, 10.5aH

Re the cells, sorry I’ve no idea. Is your table saying that at 36v, I still have 50% left?! Does that not mean that the BMS needs to be calibrated?

Re what I’m putting into it, I have the bike on Eco mode and pedal my ass off! The display does show voltage - it starts off when fully charged at 41.4v and by the time I’ve come back home, it’s around 36.5 to 37v. I don’t know how to interpret that!

After riding 21ish miles, I return home with 1 to 2 bars (out of 5) on the battery indicator on the lcd display. I suspect it’s nearer 1 bar as the second bar only just came back on after I stopped. This has happened after every single ride since I got the bike and I’ve always been a bit miffed...

This is pretty interesting and pretty much shows that Bafang motors are frequently not what they claim to be: https://ebikereviewer.com/index.php/2019/04/01/electric-bike-hub-motor-review-and-comparison-bafang-dapu-shengyi-and-more/

Now bought something else, no help needed!

Sorry, my mistake, it’s actually only $15 extra!
