thanks for that information! That makes sense. My experience is pedaling very hard I can easily maintain about 24 mph. I've never seen 28mph even down hill with a tail wind. I managed to find a dealer that should have the software for connecting to the bike a little drive away. I'll report...

ok I've been riding with GPS speed and it's probably a setting that was changed for top speed. It just does not assist past 24 mph you can feel a sharp drop in assist as soon as you reach that speed. That being said I can't really blame the bike for that if the settings were changed. I...

If you're handy enough with electronics just get a solar panel and solar charge controller and buy a plug for your ebike, plug directly into the ebike from the solar panel. You can do a solar panel to deep cycle. If you do that I recommend isolating the deep cycle from your regular car...

you can replace the crank arms with Shimano Steps units to save some weight (in my case I bent a stock crank arm)

I've had it with my bike. I don't know if it's just me, but I can never go anywhere near 28mph no matter who is on the bike or how hard they're pedalling. Is it just me, or are other peoples 2017 Haibike Urban Plus' basically 24mph top speed to? and I mean 24 mph with lots and lots of...

Panniers are perfect for a small laptop. Just get the adapter plate and rail. Or the Ortlieb bags with the 20mm hook

yeah that makes sense. I'm having gear shift issues, I've ordered the Shimano E bike specific chain in 136 links and I'll have to break that down to size. I should note that I adjusted the shift sensor, previously it was way to sensitive and would cut power over bumps when the rear derailer...

ok just removed chain and counted link by link it's a 120 link chain if I counted correctly

Hey guys, I'm having a few issues with the bike and they're not really relevant to some other bikes in the Haibike lineup due to motor & other differences Recently, I had the rear cassette come loose! This caused massive shiftin problems. I didn't have the special tool to fix this, so I went...

this is normal with tires inflated at lower pressure and a steering geometry set more agressive. Basically if you remove your hands from the bar the bike will find a balance between the crown of the road and your weight distribution on the bike and go for it very quickly a severe wobble (if...

do either of the wheels spin when off the ground? also spin them around slowly and look between the rim and the bike frame to look for a bent/out of true rim and a defective tire, it will travel closer or further from the frame when you spin it. Just get it off the ground, even upside down...

is the wheel straight? Also if you raise the front wheel is it balanced? bad head bearings can cause this problem in motorcycles. Also in extreme cases a bad back wheel /out of balance back wheel will cause a wobble at the front.

yes there is a way. you can buy a voltage converter and wire it into the main wires off the battery ising t taps. or you can buy e bike specific batteries that run off battery voltage and wire those in. just seach for 36v or 48v bicycle light on amazon and see what pops up they can be wired...

the tranzx should be capable of calculating a power figure if they have a torque sensor since power is torque times RPM but COBI might not have access to it thru the canbus system.

thanks for the offer! Unfortunately I'm in usa. I suppose it could be the torque sensor, but I will continue to do my fixes to the problem because there are no dealers or anybody who can service this for many hours drive.
