    Shimano E-8000 steps

    It might be for the shop. Like with cars, a mechanic has the capacity to see errors/problems to help solve them. Maybe even to do updates.

    2018 HT fattie 27.5x3.0

    I might be interested to buy one, unsold or used. Are there any knowned issue i should know about? Overheating, anything?? To me + size tires just makes sense, more grip to handle more power. Why is it not available in 2019? Thanks.

    Yamaha or Bosche ?

    I hope you enjoy it. Without real hills being on an empty batery is not that bad. The bike is good, i was just warning you that at max assist it will not last as long as if you dial it down.

    Yamaha or Bosche ?

    Well you got your answer, you will appreciate max assist but you will be limited in your range. Buy a used one, if you resell you will not have wasted too much.

    Yamaha or Bosche ?

    I enjoy my 2017 Haibike Hardseven model 6.0 so i can recommand it for the bike and the Yamaha. Than for my toughts, you are a candidate for a Mobylette. I had one 45 years ago it is a category where the engine must be under 50 cc so they are 49 cc motorcycle with pedals. You can refill the gas...

    Giant Fathom E+ 2 Pro (2019) e-MTB

    Here in Canada our max assisted speed is 20mph wich is 32 km/h. The names are a bit different but 1 of these Giant has narrow rims and tires and very affordable wich is fine for streets. The other is wide rims and tires wich i prefer for trails where traction is more important and the...

    Known Issues & Problems with Haibike Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I have a PW 2017 and to avoid looking too much at the panel i did it in safe areas and kind of do the right things without looking at it now. For long range we can downshift when possible, avoid a low cadence and avoid pushing too much on the pedals. The bigger effort we put in the bigger effort...

    Chain ring 15t VS 14t

    It depends on you. Maybe you can have a little gain with the front and a little gain from the rear. When i bought my Ebike i had the 10 S cassette switched from 11-36 to 11-42 to avoid draining my battery climbing. If you can do that and add an improvement on the front it might be worth it...

    So, how many miles do you get on a charge?

    Occasionally i just pedal without assist. The real answer is you can have range plus speed using a fuel thank and refilling. I have no problem getting 50 miles and more with a 500 battery but i am used to 4 hours rides without assist and weight 135 pounds. Having 3 bikes i stay away fom max...

    Maximum assist?

    I read that some system have a max assist of 300, 320, 360% or can be adjusted to those levels. Am i right that keeping it on the low side will help me have more range? Thanks.

    Yamaha or Bosche ?

    I just want to be sure i understand your point correctly. From your experience wich system delivers more range? I am used to non assisted rides of 4 hrs so i look for good range first, speed is not a big factor for me. Thanks

    Longest rides

    My longest ride was over 5 hrs i was real unlucky with 6 flats. OK, sorry for that bad joke. I am new to Ebike but i am used to 4-5 hrs rides because without a car i ride to the trails and back. Personally i choose to use a 500Wh battery to limit the weight. Any tip is welcome. Sofar a person...

    Are you happy with your gears selection?

    I enjoy my new Ebike but i feel being a mountain bike it came with a gears selection that is not optimal. It is a HardTail with 120 mm fork to enjoy the trails and 27.5x3.0 tires. With 20 S, 44/32 front and the cassette was 11-36. Using the SheldonBrown gear calculator at 80 RPM it gives me...

    Is 11-Speed Overkill on eMTBs?

    I recently bought a new 2017 haibike 20 S with 11-36. I had it replaced by an 11-42. It makes sense to use an easy gear to avoid draining the battery but some people ride 2 or less hour per day and for them stretching the power over 3.5 hours is not an issue. I like the 20S with range and a...

    Is this a problem with my Haibike or is it me?

    Well i suggest you ask a few pointers from your retailer. You need to know the meaning of some words so you can be specific in your question to receive valuable answers. You can go on you tube and learn some basics. Here is 1 important thing. Look ahead and select the proper gear before you...

    Lowering my max speed?

    Thanks JayVee. I allready figured that 80rpm is effective at stretching my time per charge. I will simply do a few rides at 90 and be able to know without reading. In the streets and the trails i prefer to look at potential risks. It is obvious that an easier gear is less likely to drain the...

    Lowering my max speed?

    I know some riders change a part to have a faster max speed with assist. To enjoy many hours on my 500Wh battery could i modify my system so my assist would cut at 26 or 28 Km/h instead of the 32? I just bought it and my plan is to do 4 hrs rides. Without a car i pedal to the trails and back. I...

    Is this a problem with my Haibike or is it me?

    Maybe your derailleur hanger is bent a bit. By your question you kind of sound like new to riding a bike? I suggest you read your manuals and practice the basics on easy close to flat areas away from traffic. A small adjustment by the shop might fix your situation. If you will regularly deal...
