    Let's see your best pic of your electric bicycle

    Thanks for the kickstand info JayVee. I have removed mine from my bike to see if it could work the way your does but unfortunately not. It has no brand name on it and actually seems to be nicely engineered.....to do exactly what I don't want it to do LOL. It snaps into place both...

    Let's see your best pic of your electric bicycle

    Very nice JayVee !! On the edge of Lac Leman too. I cant help making a comparison with my month old 2016 Trekking SL. Similar but you have some additions. You have a different headlight and it looks like you have 20 gears compared to my 10. I plan to eventually...

    Stoked in Carolina

    I'm 70 too and riding in the NW mountains of NC, close to Blue Ridge Parkway in Ashe County. You may see two Haibike Trekking if you get this far east and it might well be my wife and I. Brand new bikes and waiting for the weather to warm up. While we have snow and temps in the teens we...

    That must be a bit frustrating. I wish I could say I have never had to deal with such problems. Here are a few tips to try. 1. Tighten the bolt a little more before trying to loosen it. Lightly tap in both directions. 2. Give it a little squirt of WD40 or PB blaster or similar...

    Good info J.R. thanks When I think back to my first good bike, the DIY tools that I needed were Campagnolo. I'd hate to have to buy them again !

    Aha, thanks for that info :) I have only had my Haibike for less than a month and have yet to find the good sources for tools pertaining to these modern or specifically electric bikes. I also wish to find a tool to remove the crank arms from the motor shaft. Closest dealer...

    I would be interested to know what the "correct tool" is for those notched nuts on the inside of the chainring. Is there a special tool sold for this purpose? I loosened mine by using an allen wrench in the front hex and lightly tapping it round with nothing in the notches. It might be...

    Hi from UK

    While you are in Southampton, take a boat ride to Hythe, visit the neat Motor museum in Beaulieu Abbey. Lots of great rides in the New Forest, Brockenhurst etc, wild ponies everywhere.

    I would be interested to know what slightly larger chainring you have added as I find myself in the very top gear often when riding on level ground. In a way I would like to add a second chainring with front changer so I can retain the low granny gears as well. I need almost the lowest...

    Haibike bottle cage

    Here is a simple modification I made as Haibike does not provide a place to mount a bottle cage.

    Handlebar lengths

    It might not be too bad. I wouldn't worry until you get the bike and see if there really is a problem. I have found a way to get one end of the bars in by turning the steering a bit, lean a bit, then turning the steering a little in the other direction and a little lean, enables the...

    Handlebar lengths

    Consensus seems to think its good :-) Biggest problem I have is when I have to put the bike away. Some doorways are difficult to get the wide bars through. I will go with the flow and get used to it I guess.

    Handlebar lengths

    I have just measured the length of the handlebars on my new Haibike Trekking and seen they are 29" long (736 mm). Measuring the 25 year old Barracuda mountain bike I have been using since new I see the bars are 20" long. My wife's Raleigh has bars that are 24". I can understand...

    Just did something very similar about three weeks ago. Sduro Trekking SL Been a bit cold here in the mountains so I have not yet ridden it much yet but I plan on changing the pedals too as I have a tbi foot issue to deal with. I'm not enamoured by the saddle much either so that will be...

    I-rack for Sduro Trekking

    There is a knurled ring on the charger cable plug. To remove the plug after charging , it is necessary to pull the ring lightly towards you, against a small spring, per the instructions. I would bet money you did not do that and pulled a bit harder :-) In a way I'm glad you did...

    I-rack for Sduro Trekking

    I found this manual and I believe page 2-1 shows the cable referred to by JayVee. Access may not be easy for replacement. http://www.intercycle.com/media/wysiwyg/haendlerzone/yamaha/Yamaha_X94_Manual.pdf
