No worries, you'll be fine. I ride mostly pavement, including a long, steep climb back to my apartment..there's plenty of power. What the OP is describing sounds like some seriously hardcore mountain biking on trails too steep for any non-powered bike to climb.

You say it started after lubing the chain, so I assume it's overlubed, a common thing with cyclists. It only needs a very light coating on the the sprocket side, so I would try running your chain through a paper towel to get the excess off. Also, make sure you're using a real chain lube, not...

I hear ya, I just ordered the Bikespeed-RS dongle for my Sduro Trekking. I wasn't sure I would need a higher stop speed than 20mph, but I definitely noticed the limitation on today's ride. I'm not sure I'll be pegging 28 every day, but I could've used an extra 3 or 4 today. I'm not going to mess...

I have a 2016 Sduro Trekking which has a 1x10 drivetrain. I just got back from some mild singletrack riding and can confirm that the torque drops out if you get spots where you're letting off your own pedal power. It's certainly manageable if you can keep a pedaling rhythm up, but if you're at...

Well dang. That's brilliant!

To clarify my clearly not clear comment, I don't actually care that folks know my bike is an ebike. I just think the Smoothie is egregiously obvious and weird-looking about it. I also think it's probably a really nice cruiser, and if one were on sale down the street for a nice price, I would buy...

My main issue with it is the HEY I'M SUPER OBVIOUSLY AN EBIKE look with that battery in the air. A rack mount at least looks something like a regular bike.

It just depends on how much power and versatility you want, and how much you're willing to risk more complex technology. I don't commute, but I live around big hills so a 250W singlespeed doesn't do it for me. I have a couple conversions with throttle-only 250 front hubs, and they really only...

I'm getting my new Haibike Sduro Trekking from Lenny's on Friday, so I can't verify reliability yet, but I'll update the forum as the miles pile up. I'm sure electric drivetrain issues will be a hassle if I have to work them out with a far away shop, but I do all my bike stuff online so I'm used...

Oh man. My 2016 bike isn't even here yet, and I'm already looking forward to late 2018. This is going to get expensive!

It's a lot. I can't argue with the number - major non-assisted companies like Trek have giant catalogs - but the similarity in model names was a blur to me for quite a while. When you're perusing this site and see Haibikes flash by, all the Sduro, Xduro, Nduro register on the brain as "Enduro"...

I just had this chat with someone while ordering my Sduro Trekking SL. Trying to straighten out which bikes we were talking about was hilarious.

Oh man, the gear. Spend a stack of money trying to stay protected, then spend a stack more to stay warm. Or buy a car!

Motostrano already had a strong reputation with motorcyclists before they discovered ebikes. I'd be curious to know how many ebikers came over from motorcycles; I used to ride the motors and found ebikes to be a slower, safer alternative that didn't have to mix it up directly in traffic as...

Cool, that's very reasonable for something that works. I'm going to ride it stock for a bit to see if I really need the dongle. The terrain around here tends towards crawling up a hill and sailing back down, so I may not have much use for the flatland boost up to 28 mph.

What is the US price for Bikespeed-RS standard? I can't tell by looking at the site..I may pop for one of these after I take delivery of my Sduro Trekking SL next week.

Returning a bicycle is a big process, so "no returns" doesn't tell me much. David can market his bikes whichever way he wants, but I lost patience with waiting for a test and spent my money on a non-electric. I was thinking for the price that the E-Glide would be a nice second e-bike, but the...

It's the bike that refuses to be tested. I'm amazed we've gone this long and still have so little information about it.

I would take my electric to the San Jose Bike Party..that's just a random bunch of people on bikes. What you're discussing sounds like a "club ride", which is traditionally reserved for non-assisted bicycles that are expected to stick together within a narrow range of speed/ability. In that...

I'm looking for a compact folding electric - decent power, PAS and throttle, probably 20-inch wheels - for under $2k. I realize they're all going to be pretty heavy and ungainly for trying to stuff in the back seat of my FIAT 500 Cabrio (no hatch), but I'd like to be able to do it at least a few...
