Thanks for the tip. I went out to try it after reading your post. Oddly the battery came alive before I got to hold down the button for 20 seconds. Pressed it once and the four lights came on green showing fully charged. Really odd as it was a brick on Saturday, totally dead. It's almost like...

Hi, Any help would be much appreciated. My Decoy Pro 29er has totally died. I used it for 10 mins on Friday. It had a full battery showing a range of 45 miles. No problems on a quick 5 minute test ride. I went to go for a long ride on Saturday afternoon and the bike wouldn't turn on. Nothing...

Thanks for all of that Mikerb, appreciated it. I'll try riding in Trail more and see how that impacts things. Worth a go. Tyre wise I'm riding the standard spec OEM Maxis Minion DHF 2.3" at around 28psi. Rode today for 30km and arrived home with 25%. One thing I have noticed is the temperature...

Thanks yes, agreed. Correct we will have ridden at a different cadence and no doubt tyre pressure too, but overall it was a pretty good test to see what the battery use was on my bike compared to another YT. Although not an exact test it still gives an indication on the difference in battery use...

Thanks. Yes, that was going to men next plan. Also considered borrowing her battery (both YT) and see how it gets on over the same ride. May help tell me if it's the battery or the motor/bike that's the issue.

So now the weather is better I went out on a ride with a friend who's also got a YT Decoy to see how the two bikes performed on the same route, same day, same conditions, same 100% battery at start. She is considerably lighter than me, but aside from weight there was no other differences. The...

Also never heard a word back from YT in Germany after emailing them weeks ago. Hopeless. Good job YT Mill UK are on the ball.

Just thought I'd post an update. Took the bike to the YT Mill the other week once they opened again. The team were very helpful, and I had the bike back the same day. They checked the bike over and plugged it in to look at software/battery condition etc. They've updated the firmware, and also...

Not got to the bottom of it yet. I've emailed YT in Germany (don't expect to hear from them any time soon!). Will also try and get in touch with YT UK at The Mill. They generally seem to be much more responsive, but just not sure yet if they are 'open' as such to assist with advice given COVID...

Thanks for that. What do you mean by ‘hm’

Thanks. All info like that is helpful to establish an idea of battery range. I appreciate you're on a Bosch so hard to compare, also what Wh is your battery?

I agree there are so many factors that impact range it’s hard to say 100%. I borrowed at YT from the Mill before buying this bike and it’s battery performed much better. It doesn’t seem right to me. A trip to YT (down the road from) will be worthwhile. The guys there have always been very...

Thanks guys for constructive replies and helpful advice above guys. Very much appreciated. Let’s get the ‘hilarious’ maths / typo error over with, ride was Eco (70%), Trail (20%), Boost (10%). So charged the battery as per the manual and advice above yesterday. Kept the battery inside over...

Thanks. Will try that next week.

I was worried that might be the response. I borrowed a Cube hard tail before buying this bike. Did 50km one day and it still 40% battery of a 500wh battery. The bikes only 9 months old. I’ll call / email YT and see what they say. Wish me luck. Let’s hope the UK Mill can help.
