The trials and highlights of building and using E-Bikes

Yuba – another ride in Kapiti with Lynn

Posted on July 10, 2017July 10, 2017 by Dave

Having spent a hard week in the workshop, and most of Friday and Saturday digging a patch of clay over in the back garden, Lynn and I decided to have a trip out on Sunday. I wanted to show off my new found knowledge of the Kapiti cycle ways, so we put two bikes on…

Yuba – another go at the long ride.

Posted on July 10, 2017July 10, 2017 by Dave

So Tuesday 4th July, I took the car back to have the service and WOF finished (replacement radiator and steering rack bracket), and I put the bike on the back again. Same drill, set off from Kapiti Honda at about 8:00, on a slightly overcast morning, so no sun strike this ride. Rather than use…

Yuba – a nice long ride

Posted on June 29, 2017 by Dave

On Tuesday I took my car up the coast to Kapiti Honda to have it serviced and a WOF. Rather than come home again on the train and make a return journey, I strapped the Yuba onto the back of the car. Two tricks I learned – one take the battery off – the bike…

Electric Yuba – settling in

Posted on June 20, 2017June 20, 2017 by Dave

It seems like weeks since I made the last modification to the bike, other than some panniers, I think it is basically finished. The last mod was a new front brake cable to give a little more slack when handling the bike. I rode down to Pack and Pedal, our LBS to borrow some cable…

Electric Yuba – well it is a cargo bike!

Posted on June 1, 2017June 2, 2017 by Dave

The build of the Yuba is nearing completion, only one project to complete after the fitting of these bits and pieces. So the Yuba is a cargo bike, and I bought it to serve as a business vehicle so that I can visit customers within a 10-15km range of the workshop, without spending $6-10 dollars…

Electric Yuba – programming Bafang BBS01B

Posted on May 24, 2017May 27, 2017 by Dave

As I have described before, I am not particularly happy with the performance of the Lekkie 300W mid drive motor out of the box. It’s good, but it does not suit me. The problem is, we are all different, ride different bikes in different ways, and have our own requirements. The Lekkie Summit 300W is…

Electric Yuba – gear sensor

Posted on May 10, 2017May 11, 2017 by Dave

I ordered a Lekkie Gear Sensor from Bicycle Junction, which arrived this morning, and also a splitter cable so that I can connect it in. Because of the length of the cable (about 300mm), and the position of an appropriate place to plug it in, it is necessary to put it near the gear change,…

Electric Yuba – gearing

Posted on May 6, 2017May 9, 2017 by Dave

I have had a good couple of days with the Yuba. After 60 or so kilometres riding it two things were obvious. Firstly, the gearing needed work. Secondly – the “power profile” needed adjusting, i.e. the amount of assistance given at different road speeds and pedal cadence. This second point I will deal with when…

Electric Yuba – just how far will it go?

Posted on May 2, 2017May 2, 2017 by Dave

Well, yesterday I found out. After 23km on Sunday, including about 200 metres of climb, I thought I would leave it without charging, and do a few short trips to see how far the battery went. So on Monday the first thing I did was a 26km trip with another 200 metres of climb, straight…

Electric Bikes – Yuba Mundo eV4 – first rides

Posted on April 30, 2017May 2, 2017 by Dave

So, the build was finished at 6.00 on Friday, and Saturday morning I took it for a first ride, into Porirua to take my wife a coffee at work, and to buy some mudguards. Obviously this was to be a shakedown trip, and a trial of the bikes performance. Despite choosing the Lekkie 300w kit,…
