Mike, not to veer off topic on this thread, but do you mind my asking where you purchased your new Yamaha 500wh batteries? My bike came with a 400wh battery, and I'm interested in upgrading at some point in the near future. I'm located in the Pacific Northwest, but hopefully these would be...

@JayVee: You may have seen another thread where I ended up making a warranty claim on the display mount/control pad, due to a flashing "Er 15" on the display indicating a bad display connection. I dealt directly with Currie/Raleigh customer support via phone and email, and received a...

@kiltym: I believe the corporate relationship is Accell North America (ANA) -> Currie -> Haibike USA. I'd suggest calling the customer support line (in the pdf above); they can probably refer you to the correct warranty for your bike.

Just a quick update -- I received the replacement display mount / button pad from Raleigh support, and had time over the long Memorial Day weekend to replace it. I took a 4-5 mile test ride, and did not see the error re-appear, so fingers crossed, the issue is resolved. I did open the old...

Not to wade into a controversial topic, but applying silicone grease / dielectric grease directly to electrical contacts may actually inhibit electrical signals -- it's an insulator. It does work well to seal electrical connectors and lubricate rubber parts (like the rubber boot around a spark...

Thanks so much, Ravi! I assume it's the 3 6mm hex head motor bolts where the torque (22Nm) is more important, rather than the 4 3mm motor cover bolts? I do have a torque wrench, but I don't have a 3mm hex socket. I'll just make sure they're nice and snug. For any reading this before watching...

Per my other thread, I received the replacement display mount today. I'm planning to try to replace the mount myself. Has anyone else replaced the Yamaha display mount on one of these bikes, or a similar bike? If so, any tips on how to do so? Haibike support indicated that I will want to...

I have had the bike for just over a year, though it was a 2016 model so the battery was probably another year or so older. I'm not sure how many miles I have ridden. Not a huge amount, very likely under 500 miles; the bike is mainly used for commuting, and I alternate between bike, train, and...

So, unfortunately this was a bit of a red herring. :( The display stopped the Er 15 flashing after the battery replaced and the display was reconnected to the bike, and all appeared to be back to normal. However, within a block or two of starting my commute home yesterday, the error resumed...

I don't know what happens if the CR2032 battery is completely dead. My battery was just low, apparently, as I still had the time displayed when the display was off the bike. There was no dimming or any other indication that the battery was low. I'm hoping this is really what the problem is...

EDIT: Please see my follow-up below. While this temporarily appeared to solve the problem, the error returned quickly into my next ride. TL;DR: If your Yamaha display flashes alternately betweeen "Er" and "15", try replacing the display's internal backup battery with a fresh CR2032 coin cell...

My bike came with integrated lights, but the rear light is a fixed red light. I added a Planetbike Superflash on the seat-post on my e-bike, and generally run it in the animation setting (it's very attention grabbing). That said, I have to admit I frequently forget to turn my lights on when...

If you're looking for a lock for relatively brief use for stops (coffee, lunch, etc.), a combination of a good u-lock and a braided cable or chain is a good one. I have the "Kryptonite Kryptolok Series 2 Standard Bicycle U-Lock with Transit FlexFrame Bracket (4-inch x 9-inch) with 4-Foot Flex...

I'd like to pick up a couple of spare tubes for my Haibike Trekking as I'm relying on it more and more for commuting and while I've been lucky so far and not had a flat, I can't expect that to last. The Schwalbe Energizer Plus Tour tires are 700x38c, with a presta valve. Can anyone recommend...

I just noticed that a prior post of mine was edited because EBR doesn't allow mention of online discounters, probably because EBR wants to help support local bike stores. I respect that, and I'm editing this post to reflect that. I did have a good experience with purchasing online from a...

Thank you for your replies, everywhere, I really appreciate it! I ended up going with the Busch & Müller 701 Mirror, which was delivered rapidly from Chris Nolte at Propel (thanks @Over50). JayVee, that looks really slick and I love how compact it is. The B & M mirror does fold in which helps...

Thanks for the reply, Over50. That looks like the "Busch & Müller 701 Mirror for E-Bikes". I think it looks a little nicer than the Mirrycle one. I'll see if I can find a source to get it from online.

I'm riding mostly in an urban environment without bike lanes, and often need to move into the center of the lane when passing parked cars. I have some neck pain from an injury which makes it hard to really crank my head around to check if a car is approaching from the rear before I move out...

Thanks for your replies Joe and Piper. Joe, I wish I had seen your note before I went on my first longer ride today (I had just taken a brief 3-5 mile shakeout ride on Saturday after assembling). Most of the way back on a 12 mile round-trip ride, I heard a clunk, glanced down, and saw the...

I received my new 2016 Haibike Sduro Trekking RC via UPS yesterday. The bike seem well packed, and as requested, the two accessories I added to my order were already installed on the bike (Ergon GP-1 grips, and a BodyFloat suspension seatpost with the correct springs for my weight). I...
