The connection to the battery is proprietary from Hirose and no one from Hirose will sell it to you. I have tried. You would have to cut the existing chargers cable and make your own interconnect.

Thanks Bob, She shows up tomorrow, but its going to be way too cold to ride!

Looks like it might be a 2020 release. So you have time to save up.

$3500 was the price I paid for the bike. The Haibike flyers are out on the FLYON bikes with pricing and pre-orders are being accepted across Europe. Maybe longer for the US? https://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/Haibike-2019

Thanks everyone! It is going to be 2 degrees here this weekend. So it might be a bit before it hits the roads. The year-end closeout price was too good to pass up!

I saw that! 2years to 5 years on most components with online registration.

Atom X 27.5 Lynx +Pro. It is pretty difficult to find reviews in the states, but in Europe, it is well reviewed and highly rated. Between this and the Haibike with a PW-X, I prefer the Brose S with a 720Wh battery in the down tube. Thanks everyone for their input and she is shipping in 2 days...

After much discussion, I have narrowed the choice down to these 2 bikes. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) https://www.haibike.com Both can be had for the same price. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated as I will be buying one or the other by the end of today! Thanks again for everyone...

The Brose S is on the Atom X and it is on the short list! No access to the S tomorrow, but the Brose on the Specialized should suffice for getting a feel. The Bafang Ultras seem amazing with metal gears now and their torque output ratings are nuts. FLX or straight from China with FREY seem to be...

I agree the planned trails systems here are only getting better I can almost make it from Covington Ky to Loveland on designated bike paths. If looks were something, and it is, Haibike would win hands down. Their designers put together awesome graphics/paint combinations!

I am heading there tomorrow to look and ride the Specialized and Giant. They seem to be the most knowledgeable in the area. Still, no FS eMTB, but at least I can experience the BROSE and Giant Yamaha versions.

@PDoz Electric bikes are not very popular in this area at the moment. As far as emtb permitted on mtb trails; it has not been addressed locally from what I can find. I have scoured their sites and Facebook pages and not a mention of eMTB. @David Berry Cincinnati is also known as the Ohio...

I am one of those who research, research and then just a bit more research before I make a purchase like an e-bike. Here is what I think I know: I will do some light trail riding, so at a minimum a shock up front. 20% Most riding will be city and planned bike paths that remain fairly flat. 80%...
