Definitely a new bike. Almost a decade of service from your current bike is quite impressive. Donate it to a friend or family member and treat yourself to something current.

But this bike is the first to offer an ultra-fast display! "Display LCD............9-speed" I love companies that pay extra special attention to detail.

I just wanted to suggest another item to watch with the SKS fenders (specifically the front fender). I had been reading the forums before my Haibike arrived so I was mentally prepared for having to do the JayVee mod to the front fender. But when the bike arrived, the fender was silent. I...

Ravi, is this some kind of hybrid? Looks like a regular combustion engine although the "exhaust" looks more like warp drive nacelles.

Great looking bike. Since you also have the Urban Plus, how would you compare the Bosch Performance Speed vs. Tranzx M25GTS?

Mr Coffee - you may want to add another key inventory variable to your theoretical question - "days to turn" or what car dealers term "days on lot". What if the $4K bike on average takes 210 days to sell while the $1.5K bike takes 45 days? Inventory expenses can add up quickly and for most...

Rakku, both are 350w in the US but yes, there is a software controlled torque difference.

And if you watch the youtube video posted in the ebay ad, it gets even worse. The guy never pedals the bike and just throttles around people walking, jogging, pushing strollers, etc. on a crowded trail. Also, never rings a bell/horn as he approaches anyone, just zips around them. An accident...

No, the 2017 4.0 is the CX/20mph motor. If you want the class 3/performance speed motor/28mph, then yes, you would need the S 5.0. Some other differences are rims/tires/headlight. If you're doing all asphalt (or strictly commuting), the S is probably the way to go, if you want the option to...

Jay at Lonestar bikes told me he bought the last remaining inventory of 2018s from Haibike. I had mentioned in another thread that this bike was on my short list for quite some time but my own concerns about the Transx motor were amplified when one of the largest dealers told me that Tranzx was...

Mobits, is that going to be the law in Cali? Sounds like you'll be riding around with a billboard hung off the bike :-)

Like I said, I doubt you'll find any bike sold in the US that is limited to 15mph (since our class 1 spec is 20mph). I think the odds are very low that if you took your bike to Europe (where that exact model was also sold in Europe), that it would be easily detected as a bike from the States...

Mobits, I didn't realize you were looking for lights with independent batteries - normally Court (and I think most people) prefer the lights be run off the main battery. There are certainly 250w motors out there but I'm not aware of any in the States that would cap the assist to the class 1...

What a horrible experience Samkov. I hope you can find a resolution. Perhaps Court needs to start a "Wall of Fame" and a "Wall of Shame" to highlight the companies that excel at (or completely disregard) customer satisfaction. While UPS can certainly mangle packages, there is so much damage...

Tern has a couple of nice options. Also, not sure about your budget, but you might also want to consider the "compact" bikes (many with folding handlebars) such as Riese & Muller Tinker, Wallerang Tjugo, Haibike Radius Tour.

On the Haibike nomenclature, be aware that the Sduro/Xduro as well as the numbering changed between 2017 and 2018 so you really have to look at the complete specs of the bikes to compare. Also while the primary Sduro/Xduro difference for years prior to 2018 was Yamaha/Bosch, other components...

There are multiple dealers that will discount the Urban Plus below the commonly advertised $1799 price. This bike was on my shortlist - love the design and COBI system but continued to have reservations about the Tranzx motor. As i was discussing multiple options with a handful dealers, one of...

Over50, thanks for sharing your experience with the Haibike via this thread. I recently picked up the same bike (thanks in part to your review) and am very happy overall with its refinement and engineering. It really does feel like a tank (in a good way). Like you, I also find it difficult to...
