    Haibike dealer support is terrible.

    My bike came from SanDiego Fly & Ride. When I had a warranty issue with the left Madura 4T brake I contacted them and left multiple messages with NO response. Now that I've put ~ 700 miles on the bike, it could use a tune and software update. I have been calling local Haibike dealers trying to...

    Haibike Lighting Connectors

    My FullSeven S Pro came with lights installed. I started getting a 502 error a couple weeks ago which wouldn't clear. It turns out the connector connection broke in my seat post. I replaced it with an extra heavy duty connector that's water proof. It's not an answer to your question but might...

    Hardlife for guy?

    Real women's bikes are designed with a different geometry. Some women are better off on men's models due to their physical structure. Those differences tend to be a different inseam/torso length ratio. Some men are better off on women's models as well. Bike fitment is often overlooked when...

    What are you thoughts on 2018 Haibike Models?

    I agree with your observations. I spec bikes with the same frame but different components all the time. Nomenclature should reflect this as a package and no more. If there are upgrades or downgrades to a drive train or components, that's what matters to me, not what you name the bike. By making...

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

    Agreed but I am 750 miles away. On another note, I began getting and Error Code: 502 and my lighting system stopped working. I couldn't find any wire issues and the LED's seemed OK although both were out with the code. Looking at some other gremlin type posts I realized I have been routinely...

    Fullseven XDURO S Pro 2016

    This bike now has 600 miles on it and I continue to be stoked on it. Rode an 11 mile route up a local canyon with 3000 ft elevation gain. Fifth time for this ride this summer and the first time my battery management worked out. I mostly used Tour mode with some Sport but no Turbo. Previous trips...

    Nice set of photos. Price increases are not welcomed. Still no spot for a water bottle cage.

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

    I have had mixed results with some of the issues you mention. First, thanks for the clip story, I checked mine and every one of the small machined screws that hold the clips was loose. One was so loose that touching it popped both it and the clip out. I think that the dealers are partly...

    Bosch CX motor software upgrade

    This is a cross post, can't remember where I put it first. The eMTB upgrade is supposed to be available in the US on/around July 1st. It's a freebie that is designed to increase efficiency and increase battery life. By replacing sport mode with a sliding scale assist, you can leave it up to the...

    BOSCH Brings Anti-Lock Brakes to eBikes

    I would hope they never place an ABS system on the eMTB line of bikes. It ruins dual sport motorcycles offroad and would do the same for an offroad bicycle, IMHO.

    E-bike recco for new member, 6'3" 230lb male?

    I got my 2016 Haibike XDuro S Pro for the top end of the listed budget and I have been very pleased with it. I'm also that same size and the 55 cm frame is working for me. Those bikes were 40-50% off retail at the end of the year.

    How do you carry water when you ride your Haibike?

    Hydration while biking is a big issue. I can not carry a hydration backpack due to low back problems. I have been using a fanny pack which places the weight more on my hips. I've just installed a seat post mounted rack so that will become my next location to carry items. The bike really has no...

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

    I have posted to my specific Haibike thread but want to follow up here. I have a 2016 Haibike XDuro FullSeven S Pro with Bosch Cx 350W system. I have learned of a software upgrade released in Europe and supposed to come to the USA July 2017. It replaces the 3rd level boost with a variable boost...

    Fullseven XDURO S Pro 2016

    I am so stoked about this specific bike model. I bought one in January and have 260 miles on it. I have had two problems with it, a broken Magura rear brake lever/piston/reservoir and failure to seal on the tubeless rear tire. Fortunately, Magura stepped up with a replacement lever which still...
