    Possible to purchase EU versions of Haibike and have shipped to US?

    Don't those bikes use the controller with the eConnect module, which stacks up agains the Bosch Nyon display? I think both of these depend on a low cost data only 4G service and will only work in Europe.

    Looks like they are adding a new Yamaha motor with more power and a bigger battery. The high end models get a cellular modem/GPS/Bluetooth unit called eConnect so they can add features similar to what Stomer has but with a smartphone which would allow for a more rapid app development cycle, but...

    Front page article in the Guardian on the impact ebikes are having on road design in Germany

    Could intercity cycle highways revolutionise the daily commute? Germany is building the world’s biggest ‘bicycle autobahn’ to connect 10 cities and remove 50,000 cars from the road every day. With the popularity of e-bikes growing too, is Europe about to see a new era of long-distance cycle...

    Thudbuster Too Bouncy; Bodyfloat May Be The Answer

    The Thudbuster comes in 3 different flavors which are based on different springs and designed for different weight groups. Which one did you get and how much do you weigh? Then the Thudbuster has an adjustment, have you tightened it to increase its resistance?

    Want a comparo of Haibike models to decipher features vs pricing

    As a buyer of two Haibikes in the last month I also ran into the same issues getting clear info on the differences between the various models. I even went to a Haibike demo day to speak with a Haibike rep and they were totally useless and uninterested in answering detailed questions. Haibike do...

    Question about SDURO/Yamaha engine

    The motor does not have a significant drag when the power is off but the extra weight is noticeable and requires more effort to cycle without power. The eco plus mode is similar to riding a non powered bike, so I would not justify my purchase based on that, you would need to base it on useing...

    Help...Deciding on which dongle to buy..

    Its not entirely clear how to order the B32.14 via the website, given any Bosch system sold in the US is not restricted to 25Km/k, they are all either 20 m/h or 28 m/h and that anyone ordering from the US would far more likely have the 20m/h version, you should ship the B32.14 by default on...
