Joe, I took a look at my rear light as I think its probably the same as yours, made by Trelock. It came off by undoing 2x 8mm nuts. I found no way into the light but the two wires are held in by a push in plate. The wires are not soldered in place but held mechanically. Using a small...

Looking at JayVee's 2017 Sduro trekking in another post, I see he has a quite different headlamp which attaches to the frame not the forks. I would guess that Haibike found it necessary to redesign their headlamp attachment as perhaps lots of folk had similar problems to you and Joe Remi...

Sorry to hear about the headlight screw issue for you too. Frankly I think the Germans could have done a little better in that area and I guess buying the bike mail order might have precluded some instructions. I thought about using 2 black zip ties too but with the screws in the inner two...

I too assembled my 2016 Sduro Trekking bike about 6 weeks ago so reading your post seemed very familiar. I would add that I too had a problem with the headlight attachment. After I removed the Suntour plate, I saw there were 4 screw holes in the back of the the fork cross member. I...

If you are handy, you can take a look at this pdf https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=c2FuZGllZ29mbHlyaWRlcy5jb218Zmx5LXJpZGVzLXRlY2gtc3VwcG9ydHxneDo1Y2QzOWM4ODRhMmM3MGYx On page 2-1 you can see the cable layout next to the motor including the socket for lights. Gain...

The Trekking Haibikes use 700 x 38C tires as standard with Schwalbe Plus Tour tires which are fairly low drag on the roads and suitable for hard packed off road trails. The Schwalbe Smart Sam tires, 700 x 40C are wider and knobbier, fit the same rims, and are more suitable for off road and at...

This bag is a small trunk I bought on ebay, with a shoulder strap which clips on as a try out for d.i.y. It can easily carry stuff like camera, phone, sandwiches, small tools, bicycle pump etc. The adapter plate is simply bolted on through the bottom of the bag. You can see the silver...

I cant imagine any Haibikes being any more or less flimsy than others as the frames and components are basically the same on all of them I think. Well designed and well built. Certainly there is nothing flimsy about Trekking models! Perhaps some wheels are stouter than others but your...

Thanks ! I'll give that a try.

Well I received my XLC adaptor plate today from Germany. Yes, it is neat and snaps into the rack very neatly and cleanly and removal is a simple push of the button. It was an effort finding it and getting it to US !! It cost me 25 bucks but its worth every penny :-). I will fit it to...

I too ended up getting an Sduro trekking also. I bought mine online as there are no electric bike dealers close to my home. After reading quite a lot, I settled on a Haibike because of the German connection and attention to detail that is typical. I tried to buy the Hardseven...

I did not think of that. I have not had a bike with such a spread of rear ratios before. I was thinking that the chainkeeper came about from rough riding with mountain bikes making the chain flop around but what you say makes good sense :-)

I too have used trouser clips all my life though sometimes I just fold my pant legs and poke them into my socks :) Thats good info and it means I can turn my single chainring into a double one using the same "Yamaha spider". Thanks.

From what I have seen, the European Sduro Trekking 6.0 2017 models have the 500 Watt motors and are setup for the equivalent of 28 mph with 48T on their double chainrings. American Sduro 2017 models have the same 500 Watt motors and same 36/48T double chainrings. I assume they are...

Interesting to see the differences. My bike is an Sduro Trekking SL from 2016 and although the motor is 500 Watt drive like the 2017 US models, the battery is only 400Wh. I understand the 500Wh battery will fit but its not a cheap upgrade !! Your 6.0 I believe is rated at 45 kph...

I have used "standard" and "high" on my bike and I have not yet used "Eco". I tend to use standard on flat roads. It seems natural to me to select standard at this point, even going downhill. Perhaps I think that going downhill it does not use any power anyway and "standard"...

That M99 Pure sure is a fabulous light. Modern lights are wonderful. I took a look at that one as in a way I would like to put one on my riding mower. There are times when a good light would be very handy. When I saw the price I changed my mind very quickly !! Way over...

In the UK the front fenders, or "mudguards" as they are called over there are traditionally a bit shorter than yours and have a flexible flap extension attached to the bottom so they can deal with curbs and other road roughness, potholes etc without hitting them and the flap still keeps the...
