No haibike demos anywhere nearby, but I'm going to test a Turbo Levo tomorrow and see how it handles the trails. It will be my first chance to ride an ebike. I'm hoping to find a bike that is versatile enough to be enjoyable on all riding surfaces.

Yep. It looks like Bosch on the higher trim levels, but I think I'd rather have the Yamaha. Is the Yamaha PW-X going to be worth passing out the closeouts and getting a 2018 ?

Yep,I've read just about everything pertaining to Haibikes here, as well as scouring the leftover 2017 spec sheets. I have a two 29ers, a Turner Sultan FS and an inexpensive Motebecane hardtail. There is a night and day difference between ride quality, so I'm trying to pay attention to the...

The more I read, the more confused I get. Are there drawbacks to choosing a Haibike FS instead of a hardtail in terms of noise and accelerated wear on the drivetrain ? Also what do you feel is the minimum spec level for a reliable Haibike ? The last thing I want to do is buying a bike that will...

After lurking around on endless-sphere and waiting on the technology for several years,my knees tell me that it is time to make a move for an ebike. Looking for a fs MTB 29 or 27.5 as an all purpose ride in mountainous terrain. I would like to stay under 3k,unless there is a compelling reason to...

I'm not worried about the weight, but each of these bikes are more expensive. The choices On 2017 Haibike Sduro are; Rock Shox Reba 100mm-fullnine 6-0 Rock Shox Yari RC 150mm-allmtn 6-0 for Magura Boltron 150-all mtn 6.5 for Anyone have experience with any of these ?

LOL. That's what I'm afraid of...

For those of you with other non-electric bikes, how much are you using them after purchasing an e-bike ?

Thanks, Bob. It looks like the RC RX 2016's have bosch,but the 2017's have Yamaha PW. Which is better for mountainous terrain ? I'm looking at the Sduro Fullnine 6-0(100mm travel) and the Sduro Allmountain 6-0 (150mm travel)

Thanks,Rocky. As far as trim levels, what is the equivalent of RC and RX in the 2017 models as far as shocks. The 6.0 has Rock Shox and the 5.0 have suntour in the 17 Sduro. I'm always interested in learning about the weak link that makes you wish that you spent a little more $.

Well, we have alot in common. My mom passed with dementia a couple of years ago, so I can empathize with you. Hang in there. The hardest thing i ever had to do was take my mom's car keys...after that a downward spiral. Biking is the only thing that does not hurt my knees these days,so I'm...

Just wondering if anyone has done an unsupported tour,pulling a loaded bob behind a FS e-mtb. If so what is your daily range ?

My name is actually Rich,LOL. I'm a 62 yo life-long cyclist with bad knees, so this is likely to be my last bike purchase. My technical trail riding days are behind me,so 100 mm may be plenty. I have 4 other bikes, so I wonder how often they will get used when i buy an ebike ? The Sduro sure...

Thanks. I'm trying to decide between 100mm in the sduro fullnine or 150mm in Sduro all mountain. Both are 2017.

Yea, so just curious if not going for 150mm All mountain will generate buyers remorse? Located in NC Mountains.

I'm wondering whether 100mm of travel will be sufficient on a FS ebike (Haibike Sduro Fullnine 2017) and how suntour compares with Rock Shox.

Thanks and are these systems only available with Bosch (for all brands,not just R&M) or can you get them with Yamaha ? Also curious to know if they are ever used on a mountain bike ?

Thanks. What is your opinion on the internal gearing and belt drive options ?

I'd love to get some feedback from anyone who has this configuration with a mid drive ebike. Thanks.

I'm taking a long look at this model as my first ebike. How will this hold up for a 225 pound rider in mountainous terrain ?
