I bought my Specialized FatBoy in 2015. Set it up for touring, with a Schmidt SON28 dyno hub feeding a B&M front light. Surly racks, front and rear. Ortlieb bags for front and rear and handlebar. I put about 6 thousand plus miles on it, riding a 75/25 split of asphalt and trail riding. 12 months...

If I could take a swing at your questions..... I've had my Full FatSix in the deep sugar sand of the NJ Pine Barrens many, many times. The FFS comes with 80mm width rims and 4.0 tires. For truly deep sand riding, you need the width of those rims to support a wide tire, deflated anywhere to 5 to...

Yep, fully agree. There are fat bikes and then, there are high tiered fat bikes. And the good ones seemed to have stopped production or just flat out left our US market as Haibke did (they even discontinued the fat ebike from their german catalog). Building one from the ground up, using high...

On craigslist right now, I see a lightly used Haibike FatSix for under 2 grand, sized large. There is also ebay and facebook marketplace. I personally would have no issue whatsoever, purchasing a used Haibike FatSix or Full FatSix as I know it was the top tier fat tired E-mtb of it's time. I...

I've found the folks on this site to be extremely helpful to any new comer with questions. Then, along comes the above observation........ And this: "I do use the front brake as a 'clutch' for the mid-drive engine, but hopefully not enough to actually engage the brake" Please elaborate about...

Joe, you seem to be the self-reliant type. Because of that, if you do some research on google, you can find the procedure on how to take apart and lube your IGH. Worse case scenario, possibly that bike shop or another one would be agreeable to you sending your rear wheel asssembly via FedEx or...

Move the mirror mount so it butts right up against the grip. Move the motor controller & throttle, inboard. Problem solved.

@Logwog: Another ebike to consider is the Zen Photon. Aside from the premium features of this particular bike, maybe the most important thing I consider is the people backing Zen. And the leader of Zen is a person who has been a long time contributor to this forum and site, @Ravi Kempaiah. I...

Some great advice here, as usual. There are no set-in-stone answers to what you seek; just the solid, real-world experience by each and every one of us who have taken the time to post. Myself, I can say I've pretty much done it all. Started with Mr Tuffy liners on my Haibike Full FatSix's 4.0...

If you google "American Electrics" like I did, you won't find what your looking for. Always good when someone finds a helpful business or website, to link it directly, like this: https://www.american-electric.co/ Regardless, good job by the OP, @Bobbo to find a business that looks like they can...

The latest info from the NJ Bike and Walk Coalition: https://njbwc.org/bill-s2292/ So people against the bill (including representatives of insurance companies who don't want to touch mandatory ebike insurance!) have already testified. The result? The Senate Head (who introduced this ridiculous...

And, concluding, just my two cents: I found this forum and Court's video reviews back in late 2016 or so. I loved my Specialized Fatboy fat bike, but his review of the new 2016 Felt Outfitter and 2016 Haibike FatSix caught my eye to the possibilities of going long distance on bikes like this...

Except for my years away from this god-forsaken state to do military service, I am a long time resident of NJ. Trust me when I write that it still remains the worst, most heavily tax-burdened state out of all 50 states. And believe me, should this thing get passed into law (I think it will...

Can't hurt, can only help. But do inspect those teeth for wear. On my Shimano XT derailleur, the pulleys are made of some kind of plastic or nylon.

What was the outcome to this issue? Your findings as to the right course of repair & posting it up in these forums on this site benefits everybody else who owns a similar ebike........now and into the future to come.

I've ridden my Haibike long enough, worn out enough chain rings and stretched enough chains to learn some things along the way....... 1. No matter how dedicated you are or are not in keeping your chain lubed, it means nothing when it comes to the physical stretching of a chain. And once the...

I imagine there are stripped threads on the thru-axle, the frame or both. I'd think there are videos posted on youtube on the repair of this situation. My guess it involves a helo-coil insert (specific to bike frame dropouts). And/or a new thru axle. Forget about loc-tite. If you have a road...

Cannot beat that Yamaha ebike drive and battery system. The extra battery (1000 total wh's) and a 5 year warranty just makes it all the more a sweeter deal.

And in the below link, found again on the German pedelec forum, the poster describes replacing the display and controller (and a new display) and no joy! After some back and forth, the original poster finds he was sold the wrong controller (again, to my previous post, there are two PW LCD...

Dave, your post does not make it clear what year Haibike you have. Note that if you have the big LCD display, that there were 2 designs of that display. The earlier of the two DOES NOT include the Eco+ power setting. You must have the correct display for the proper year PW motor. Note that on...
