    How long will your EMTB last you?

    I just did a few months of motorcycling. One thing i read is some Ebikes have belt issues. I might be wrong but i guess 0% are Yamaha. So 10,000% of the belts problems are from others. You can disagree but when we were born facts were facts. This new trendy thing of make your own facts choose...

    How long will your EMTB last you?

    Realy? *** irrelevant of which manufacturer we are talking about *** Good try, many excusesss to cover the over price from a few with products not ready. Start by buying back all those bikes instead of pretending they are all the same. Their marketing is we are different, we are the best.

    Time will tell. Hopefully soon there will be 2-3 that last a reasonable time for a reasonable price.

    How long will your EMTB last you?

    I am over 60 and without a car it is a sweet ride. I am no money waster so i put reliability at the top. A simple Yamaha is reliable. Tough to believe a motor company making good motors. The bike was unsold, i got it 1/2 price dec 2018, model 2017. Over 3,800 kms of pedal, recharge. 500 Wh is...

    How long will your EMTB last you?

    Here in Montreal, Quebec it seems dealers of Shimano and Giant are told: unscrew + ship i do not think your mecano neighbor will be helpfull they will say touch it and no more warranty. They are simply poorly designed by their vast team of engeneers if you are into Kool-Aid.

    Calling those that are running 29" on their Turbo Levo

    I deal with wet roots but i am no expert. Was it front or rear? Wich compound? 3C MaxxTerra, 3C MaxxGrip ? Wich rim width? Wich tire size? I find my Rekon 2.8 on 40 mm is doing well(rear). I hope they will offer a 3.0 for my front. Since i like to climb i mounted it reversed to the suggested...

    Battery eco mode test

    I do not know if that changed but some months back a few reported that the light were just an approximation, not reliable. It seems some systems give an approximation according to recent situation so at top of some hill it might be different than 3 minutes before or after. You probably know...

    Do not worry. You are not being abused by some bike companies. They all do it. They eliminated countries with free trade so they can hide in some limbo, away from taxes, away from jail. They killed the humans, the consumers and just focus on bank accounts. Seriously you agreed to automatic...

    153 mm cranks

    I might be wrong master Steve but i think many Ebikes have a BB a bit lower and i compared mine to a bike a bit wider arm to arm. These 2 factors might generate more pedal strikes. The lower BB is to keep the added weight less obvious. Also some systems have a delay in the assist so the rachet...

    153 mm cranks

    Are they called square? My Haibike came with 175, after 2 months i switched to 165, now i look for 155 kind of a rare thing around Quebec, Canada. My system is Yamaha so i am not sure if they would fit?

    Battery, is this truth or fallacy?

    Without a car i just pedal everyday so for 8 months it is pedal recharge than 4 months of snow fun on my fat. I rarely go under 25%. If it last 3 years instead of a potential 4 i have no problem. I save not having a car, not taking the bus. Thanks everyone for the info.

    2019 Motor Distance/Failure Survey

    I guess you might have a 2017? Mine is close to you. I read about one over 20,000 kms still on original battery but the french guy refused to put it on his chart. Oh la la ,,, Just imagine the next gen, flying bikes better choose the right 1

    Miles versus times charge

    I think you are reading battery history. You can plug to charge 100 or 500 times that makes no difference. What is being counted are units. Let say the battery is 500Wh that just keeps totaling the Wh that have been added. So 10 charges is 5000Wh have been added in 10 times or more. So we can...

    Answered Can an EMTB be laid down on its side in a car without damaging the peddle / crank / motor?

    When i pee i put it on a tree or on the ground. It all depends if the road is nice no issue. If you are banging your head boucing maybe not a good idea. We fall and pedal away so they are built tough. You can allways put a folded carbon box or an old carpet/blanket folded to absorb a bit.
