    60 Minutes segment on "mechanical doping" tomorrow

    I'm very sorry I mentioned it and offended you in doing so. I truly just thought it might be interesting to watch. Again, I am very sorry for being the OP, and my ignorance on this issue.

    Yamaha or Bosche ?

    I have a Haibike Xduro, and a buddy has the Sduro. Essentially the same bike except one is the Bosch and the other a Yamaha. I ride rugged trails with lots of climbs (and downhills) and using Tour mode whenever possibly, but will go into Turbo to climb if necessary, I typically only get about...

    Anyone have a 1-page guide to decipher Haibike names ?

    And car makers don't have to make each model in multiple frame sizes!

    Secret Shopper @ Motostrano in Redwood City

    Often, by the time I put all my gear on, including the knee guards, boots, body protector, wrist guards, neck brace, etc, I was just too tired to swing a leg over that tall SOB!

    Secret Shopper @ Motostrano in Redwood City

    This was exactly my story. I found ebikes last winter and have enjoyed them so much more and feel safer riding them so I sold my street motorcycle and plan to also sell my dualsport too. Not only safer, but more enjoyable because they are so quiet. I also like not having to wear all the Atgatt...

    Secret Shopper @ Motostrano in Redwood City

    Joe is a good guy and really enthusiastic about ebikes and it shows. Although I have never actually met him in person or visited his shops, I've talked with him many times and have purchased 2 ebikes from him, shipping to me in Arizona. A good friend also purchased a Haibike from him and all...

    Replacing my SUV with an E-Bike

    I applaud you for replacing your SUV with an ebike! I especially like that you will be taking your daughter to all her activities in it, rather than idling the SUV waiting in line with all the other lemmings... Plus, your child will have great memories of it. Good for you!

    Let's see your best pic of your electric bicycle

    MrGold35, Sad to hear that Sedona is so anti-ebike on the trails. Surprised as well since I've found AZ to allow a lot more freedoms than other States I've lived in such as OR & CA. I've done a lot of off-road M/C & RZR riding and there are lots of places open. You can even register a dirt bike...

    USA ebike business up 50% and growing

    Not surprised by the growth. I was barely even aware of them prior to attending the Ebike Expo last February, soon after bought EBO kits for my wife's and my existing bikes. Then bought a Haibike emtb, encourage a friend to get one as well. Have another order placed for a 2017 Haibike when they...

    Flat or Not, What are you Using?

    Sounds like the Stop Flats2 is really working for you. I use the similar Mr. Tuffy on my pavement bike with only an occasional flat. Been using Rhinodillo liners on my emtb and I still get plenty of flats, like ever 3rd ride or so. Going tubeless with the Stan's stuff tomorrow on that bike. I...

    Let's see your best pic of your electric bicycle

    May is a fantastic time to go to Sedona, and although I haven't yet emtb ridden, I've hiked and dualsport motorcycled rode there and it is great. I'm sure there are excellent mountain bike trails, and places to rent a regular bike if you don't bring your own. There are probably others on this...

    Let's see your best pic of your electric bicycle

    That was taken a couple of weeks ago at the Sonoran Desert Preserve in far north Phoenix. Above is another of my favorite trails, Goldwater Lake in Prescott.

    Bike work stand... heavy duty...

    I was considering a fancy bicycle work stand, but saw a solid looking bike hanger at Lowes that is designed to mount on a wall. Since I have a solid heavy duty standing drill press, I clapped the hanger to the table and wa-la, and nice sturdy bike work stand! Ok, not as cool or flexible and...

    Haibike allmtn rc 2016

    Did you get the Sduro? My buddy has one and it is a great bike. Great suspension, motor, and nice component set. I have an Xduro FS which has a little geometry and about an inch less suspension, and the Bosch motor but I wouldn't say one is any better than the other, just slightly different...
