    What is the reputation of Haibike ?

    E-boy , that's an interesting question. I own one, and it's a great bike, so far. I looked at Haibike as THE premium brand. Prices from $2500- 15,000+ puts it in the "BMW" category as far as I'm concerned. That said, I've yet to need warrantee service, replacement parts or factory...

    Ebike kit updated

    I have accumulated about 2300 miles on my current ebike kit bike. before this season started, I pulled the wheel off and opened it up to grease the planetary gears and check the bearings. One of the wheel bearings felt dry so I drilled a tiny hole in the bearing side cover and used a grease...

    Mid season ride report. Greetings fellow Haibike owners and other interested parties. I've been riding my Sduro SM and have accumulated about 400 miles so far. I have to say, the bike is exceptional. So far, it has been bulletproof. Battery life has exceeded my expectations. My longest...

    How Important Is It For The Dealer To Be Close To Home?

    The biggest thing in my opinion is to get the bike you like. For me ,that was a Haibike. There are no dealers with these in stock anywhere within in 500 miles of my house. I purchased from an online retailer and so far, it has worked out well. It is great to have a local retailer to service...

    I don't have a lot of data yet to know for sure, I've only clocked about 100 miles so far. The last two rides were both about 35miles on relatively flat terrain. 50/25/25% eco, standard and max. I have the 400w battery and used about 50% of battery. I'm pretty sure 50 miles is doable...

    Hydraulic Brakes

    Basically there are two types of cut outs, 2 wire-a simple interrupter, 3 wire-low voltage powered signal. The bafang BBShd uses the 3wire and most simple hub motors use the 2 wire. Magura MT5e is a great 2wire set of brakes with the higo style connector, Tectro is a popular ebrake...

    Hydraulic Brakes

    I'm not sure why a set of hydraulic brakes wouldn't just "drop in". Most ebikes I've seen have iso 6bolt patterns on the hubs, standard 74mm post mount or 51mm frame mount spacings. Let's say you wanted to swap out your cable brakes for say Shimano 8000 series brakes. Choose the rotor...

    I am thinking of an ebike

    dhs1963, with $4K to work with, you have a lot of options. The trek XM700+ would be a good choice. I rode one last fall at the ebike expo in Tyson corners. I also know for a fact there is a lot of support for the trek bikes in DC, Northern Va, and the MD suburbs. That alone would tip...

    I just added a nice ebike kick stand to my sduro. I purchased it back in early April from Motostrano. After the order went thru, Motostrano contacted me to let me know it was out of stock and it would ship in a week or so. Then they emailed me and said it was going to be about 3 or so weeks...

    Tickets when using bike rack

    There are some reports of cars with bike racks being stopped and ticketed in Delaware. Most of these have been out of state vehicles passing through on the way to Ocean City , Md. Some of our bike group members have been hit. Otherwise, I have been using this style of rack for years with...

    rear drive hub

    Mr. Alistair Carson, did you resolve your rear cassette/freewheel issue? Like Ann and JR suggested, you either have a) threaded freewheel OR a splined cassette. This would be around the axle on the opposite side of the disc brake. Its either threaded or splined, period. If neither...

    Joe Remi, I also narrowed my bars slightly. Took 1" off each end and slid everything to the center. Got it set up pretty close to perfect.

    Joining the Haibike Club

    Mr Joe Remi, I got all excited about my speedometer and went to check my "S" button. The Sduro SM only has the small LED control panel out by the left hand grip. No center display unit with all the cool extra functions. I'm sure mileage/trip are not there. Thanks anyway for the...

    A few weeks ago I threw down my credit card on the least expensive Haibike I could get my hands on, the Hard Seven SM. I had not previously ridden a Yamaha powered bike and really liked the Bosch powered bikes I had ridden. I liked the Yamaha concept after watching Court's review and a...
