    Replacement wheels for Haibike SDURO trekking

    I'm over presta valves. For over 50 years my bikes had schrader valves. I've started kicking the tires on getting new wheels that support schraders. The way the current rims are, I don't think the hole can be widened without wrecking the stability of the rim. I'm a frugal Clydesdale. What...

    Anti theft GPS

    Thanks for the info. Losing connection to a cell tower is a bit troubling. I emailed boomerang a few days ago, but they haven't answered yet- I was asking what the monitoring charge is after the first year

    Battery for HaiBike SDuro Trekking 4.0

    Are there any reputable 3rd party accessory dealers where I could find a second battery for a HaiBike SDuro Trekking 4.0? I'm planning a medium-long ride and don't want to get stuck. Thx

    My first 10 miles on a 2017 Haibike Sduro Trekking 4.0 High-Step

    Just returned from a leisurely ride via streets and bike path. With the display off to the left, I was able to attach a handlebar pack. I like the flat handle bars, but with my hands going to the far ends of the handle, I'm not sure where to put a rear view mirror. I have to get used to the...

    More tube replacements for ebikes vs regular?

    In EBR's ebike vs bike write up, Cort shares that ebikes go through more tube replacements than regular bikes because ebikes are heavier. What has been your experience? More blown tubes, about the same, or less?

    Haibike sduro Trekking sizing for tall riders - what size did you get?

    I'm 6'2" with 32 inch inseam. At http://electricbikeplace.com/blog/you-and-your-electric-bike-a-size-guide-with-haibike/, it says I should get a size that gives me about two inches between my crotch and top bar. And, for, low step, test and try it out, which I'm planning to do today/Sat I'm...

    Is it possible to use shrader tubes in Sduro Trek?

    It looks like Haibike wheels use Presta valve tubes. Is it possible to use Shrader valve tubes instead?

    Commuter, bike trail, fire roads and maybe trekking

    I may be looking for a unicorn: an ebike under $2k that prioritizes distance over speed; front shocks; 48v and can support a Clydesdale. Removable lcd and bottle cage is a plus. Don't care about fenders; care about reliability. Last year I purchased a Diamondback Trace ex from REI, but...

    Returned my Diamondback Trace EXC today

    By pulling, I mean I was pedaling, going anywhere from 20-25mph, and all of a sudden, if felt like the motor stopped working. I was thinking maybe a torque sensor I would probably buy it again if it was down to 1100.

    Trace EXC Cadence Sensor

    The pulling was there at all assist levels. For the future, is there a good source for extra batteries? Thx
