    New Purion controller

    I like the small size but agree on lack of tactile feedback. Almost like a touchcreen, without the screen. In other words, it's the worst of both worlds in terms of user input. Better buttons on the Purion would elevate the Walk Assist feature from "unusable" to "uncomfortable" .

    Bosch Walk Assist in 2017 Models (Spoiler Alert: It's Crap)

    I’ve seen a few threads lamenting that there is no update to allow the Walk Assist feature in pre 2017 models. I created this thread to let you know that you aren’t missing out. The walk assist feature is unusable. I own a 2017 Haibike XDuro AllMtn 7.0. Yesterday I had my first flat on the...

    Santa will arrive tomorrow for me: XDURO AllMtn 7.0!

    For all intents and purposes I'm a total newbie, so I doubt I'll be much help. The bike did make a sound originally which I was unable to diagnose. The shop owner that sold it to me thought it was one of the cables. I zip tied it but the sound continued. But now that noise is gone. Don't know...

    Are there Trunk Racks strong enough for an ebike?

    No need to cringe. The bike without the battery is about 45 lbs. Any engineering student that has successfully completed her 3rd semester can tell you about vector forces and bending moments. Of particular interest to some posters here would be how much bending moment a load of 35 lbs. acting on...

    Are there Trunk Racks strong enough for an ebike?

    Not suggesting you do the same, but I bought a Saris Bones 2 for $50 on Craigslist and have been using it successfully without issue. I only carry the one ebike without it's battery but so far so good in the 3 months I've used it. Something to consider, but please do some tests by applying force...

    Santa will arrive tomorrow for me: XDURO AllMtn 7.0!

    Yes. It is 500wh. I got this trunk rack on Craig's List for $50. The way I see it is all the money I saved from hitch/rack went towards a great full face helmet, a great camelback, bike shorts, gloves, jersey, tubeless setup (soon), tools etc. I'm starting from zero. Of course I did test it by...

    Santa will arrive tomorrow for me: XDURO AllMtn 7.0!

    Well I took out her out for the first run today. When I got to the shop I couldn't believe just how beautiful this thing looked. It's a very expensive machine, but it certainly looks the part. I feel the photos don't do it justice. It was better than I expected. It was also a lot lighter than I...

    Yep, that's the one. I haven't seen it in person yet. Will get it tomorrow.

    Santa will arrive tomorrow for me: XDURO AllMtn 7.0!

    Finally! After many hours of research and very few test rides, tomorrow is the day! I used to ride downhill trails 15 years ago and now I'm finally getting back into it. Only this time, the uphill portion will not be nearly as excruciating. Actually back then most of the time we took two cars...

    Thanks for the advice Trevor. In the end I purchased a Haibike XDuro Allmountain 7.0. I will take delivery of it tomorrow. So excited!!!

    6'7" Rider Looking for an All-Mountain eBike

    Right now I have my sights set on either on of the Specialized Turbo Levo FSR's (XL size) or one of the all-mountain Haibikes. But I don't understand Haibikes sizes as they relate to rider height. The turbo Levo at XL would be undersize for me. I would need a Specialized XXL frame according to...
