I have been riding a full-suspension Haibike with 27.5" X 3" tires for 4 1/2 years and over 11,000 miles. I love it! Previous to that I rode 2.2" mountain-bike tires on 27.5" wheels conventional mountain bike, and 30mm X 700C tires on conventional road bikes. The 3-inch (or Plus-size) tires...

I get the bike up to speed faster by placing the left pedal at the 9 or even 10 o'clock position, setting the pedal assist on HIGH (Yamaha) or TURBO (Bosch), and then putting my full weight on the pedal. It's exhilarating! After a beat or two I swing my right leg over.

Chas, I am also a professional photographer and I will offer my own experience for insight. First, my professional specialty is architecture, interiors, and real estate (I am a retired architect). For those jobs I usually drive and carry my equipment in my car. During the pandemic I photograph...

When I first got my Haibike AllMtn ebike more than four years ago I immediately cut off about two inches (about 50mm) off each side. Yes, I know you lose leverage, but I've never had a problem controlling my ebike. I also raised the bars about 4 inches (100mm). Fortunately, all the cables were...

In addition to the Tern GSD mentioned above, there is the Tern HSD which is cheaper and has less hauling capacity (a passenger weighing no more than 135 lbs.). I own the Tern HSD and my only reservation is that its Bosh-motor climbing ability is not as good as my Yamaha-motor Haibike mountain...

This is an important point. The brain uses three cues to locate the source of sound: interaural time difference (ITD—the sound propagation time between the two ears), interaural level difference (ILD—the intensity difference between the two ears for the same sound), and the spectral composition...

After 4 years and 10,000 miles on my 2016 Haibike AllMtn Plus: between 401 and 500 cycles (LED's 1, 2, and 3 blinking). absolute battery capacity between 50% and 75% (all four LED's on). Of course, it might be that after the first year it was 95%, after the second 90%, the third 85%, and now...

I finally received my two R1's yesterday, June 20, after ordering them on June 8. Sena's shipping department is really slow, though they were very fast to charge my credit card. Charged the helmets and now I have to set them up.

I ordered two R1's on June 8, a large in Electric Tangerine, and a medium in Ice Blue from the Sena website. Both helmets were in stock at the time of ordering. I got an email confirmation that my order had been received. On June 10 I got an email saying that my order had been "approved" (I...

I just ordered a Tern HSD. It will be here in about a week. Both the Tern HSD and the Tern GSD are compatible with Thule Yepp child seats, and Tern sells a Captain's Chair and a Clubhouse for both HSD and GSD. Personally, I am getting the Sidekick Seat Pad, the Sidekick Bars, and the Sidekick...

Correct. Perhaps I misunderstood @steve mercier comment.

My Old Man Mountain rack offers both. It's not an either or question. As I said, the OMM rack is mounted on a Haibike FULL SUSPENSION mountain bike. The rack moves as one unit with the rear wheel assembly. In addition to being attached to both sides of the axle, it is also attached to the left...

Nice job, Ravi! This appears to be a cantilever design, right? A stronger design would be one supported by the axle itself, a la Old Man Mountain. I have an Old Man Mountain rack on my full suspension Haibike e-mountain bike, and it is VERY sturdy. I carry delicate photo equipment in my...

Congratulations! I have the 2016 version of that bike. It has proven to be a great ride, very durable. Almost 9,000 miles and no electrical problems whatsoever! Have fun!

Anectodal evidence is not good science. You would have to collect evidence from hundreds of thousands of users to draw firm conclusions. Not that anectodal evidence is not useful. It's better than nothing. With these words of caution I offer my own experience: I have nearly 9,000 miles and 3 ½...

Jones H-bar. 45 degree sweep. As @Asher and others have noted, a 45-degree sweep places your wrists, hands, and elbows in the most natural position.

I do it the forbidden way all the time. I've been mounting that way for 65 years. My Yamaha motor provides full torque the moment you press lightly on the pedals, so I restrain my horse by pulling on the brakes. The trick is to release the brakes just as you are swinging your leg over the back...

Fabulous! Congratulations!

Old Man Mountain was purchased by The Robert Axle Project a few months ago. Not sure if Channing Hammond (the founder of OMM) is still involved. The Robert Axle project provides the longer axles necessary for OMM racks to clamp onto and provide a very secure support. The OMM Sherpa rack was the...

I ride a 2016 Haibike Sduro Full Seven AllMtn Plus and I rarely ride my three conventional bikes. (In 2016 Haibike's naming convention translated thus: Sduro=Yamaha motor; Full=full suspension; Seven=27.5-inch wheels; AllMtn=mountain bike; Plus=3-inch wide tires.) I have about 8,700 miles on it...
