    Hi folks. Is this where I can get advice about my Haibike?

    You might find this site helpful. Its a .pdf file with many pages but some of it I find useful for the parts that are not conventional bike. http://www.intercycle.com/media/wysiwyg/haendlerzone/yamaha/Yamaha_X94_Manual.pdf With these forums, its hard to get a feel where the posters are in...

    Total Noob Here, Need Your Help

    I checked where I bought mine a few weeks back. They still have some. The Trekking model I have with fenders, lights and rack is 1880 plus ups. Their cheapest model is 1680. I understand they bought out the end of 2016 Haibike inventory a few months ago. I know the admins...

    My wife actually pushed me to get the bikes and pushed me to go to Myrtle Beach to try them out :) She is a lot more money minded than me and she reasoned that we could use our social security money to good purpose. Our plan too was to have bikes we can get out and ride from home, not to...

    Yes, there are still lots of people around who have never heard of, let alone seen electric assisted bicycles. It can be fun :-) Not sure if I can answer your questions. I have worked in Germany and I have worked in China. I have more confidence in German products than Chinese...

    Hi folks. Is this where I can get advice about my Haibike?

    With past experience like that, you don't have a thing to worry about !! Every thing will come second nature to you :) I too am an old geezer and I too find that people don't take you seriously and don't believe you know what you are doing. When they have a problem however, guess whose...

    The mid drive motor works in the bottom bracket area and the electric power from the motor gets added to the pedalling force you are making. When you pedal you are actually turning the electric motor and you and the motor (in the chosen assist level) together drive the chain and 10 speed...

    Hi folks. Is this where I can get advice about my Haibike?

    You will find that everything is as common sense as with the bikes you are used to. I found my manuals to make interesting reading especially re the electric drive but not really any "practical" help with "bike" stuff. I ordered my bike on line and I had to finish putting it together...

    I'm smiling Dave in Mt AiryLOL . I started off that way. I figured I could get a kit and modify my nice old Barracuda MTB to use as I didn't like the prices I saw for electric bikes and I rationalized I didn't need that fancy stuff you read about. Then I started reading and I started...

    Just my 2 cents worth :-) I am a "senior" rider too and very new to ebikes. I am a tad shorter than you and 204lbs. Also not a total marshmallow (I like that ). I don't live in the Tennessee mountains but pretty darned close, just a few miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC and...

    Hi folks. Is this where I can get advice about my Haibike?

    For folks who might be technically inclined, I am adding a couple of url's which go into some of the developments of the drives of our bikes. The first shows the latest drives on the 2017 Haibike (usual models anyway) that recently have been "upgraded" from Yamaha PW drives to PW-X. I do...

    Xduro Trekking XR - Advice

    Thanks Joe. Interesting pic. It did not occur to me that you would fit it to the parallel bit of the bars between the stem and the display mount. Handy ! I don't want to use a phone mount. Happy to have mine in a pocket but I would like to be able to mount my TomTom gps fairly soon...

    Choosing the right frame size - Haibike Sduro AllMtn 6.0

    I am 6ft, inside leg 32" and I have a 52cm Sduro Trekking. It works out well (top limit) though I did have to take a couple of inches off the bottom of the seatpost until I overcome a handicap. The seat tube has a curve in it which limits how far the seatpost can descend. I too would...

    Hi folks. Is this where I can get advice about my Haibike?

    In looking closer at my bike, I came to the realization that not only is there a freewheel in the rear cluster like a traditional bike but there is also a freewheeling mechanism in the motor drive itself. When you turn the pedals backwards, you can hear a free wheel ratchet system in the...

    Hi folks. Is this where I can get advice about my Haibike?

    I am quite a new Haibike rider (Yamaha Sduro) and I am slowly coming to grips with how everything works. I cant say I know much at all but I'm trying to learn :-) As has already been said, you have to watch out for those engineers LOL. One thing goes through my mind. There is a...

    Xduro Trekking XR - Advice

    Joe Remi, I was interested to see the attachment in your link. How do you get it to attach to the tapered part of the handlebars, also the fact that the bars are "upswung" seems to compound the attachment ? Essentially this is why I designed what I did for the bottle cage but I...

    Sduro yamaha all mtn SC 2016 motor issues when climbing

    That would be nice LOL. I like that idea :-) However there is a support down there with 12 mailboxes on it for the whole road and they are done that way to conform with the Rural Mail Statutes. The mail man delivers the mail with a special right hand drive Subaru (4x4) and gets all...

    Sduro yamaha all mtn SC 2016 motor issues when climbing

    Reading this thread brings out some interesting figures and it peaked my curiosity. I live in the Appalachian mountains and there is no shortage of hills. About the steepest hill I have found without looking deliberately, is the paved road leading up to our house. Whenever folks go for...

    A few notes / remarks on assembling the Haibike Sduro Trekking RC

    I understand Joe. The first time I put the wires back in it didn't work for me either. I took the wires back out, turned the lights on and fiddled the wires in the holes till the light came on and then snapped the plate in. Been fine ever since.

    Xduro Trekking XR - Advice

    I too was annoyed that there is no good place to put a water bottle cage so I designed my own and made a d.i.y. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/haibike-bottle-cage.12726/ This is a Sduro and probably the display is smaller than the Bosch Intuvia but the stem extension and alloy...
