    Want a comparo of Haibike models to decipher features vs pricing

    Regarding specs. It is imho that Haibike have a complex and somewhat odd mix of specs and bikes. The problem I had was getting good advise off anyone including who I bought from which was ebikeshop, in UK. I think Hiabike need to get their act together streamlining bikes offered and clear specs...

    Want a comparo of Haibike models to decipher features vs pricing

    I can only give you my experience and humble opinion as a current rider of three bikes i.e. Colnago c59, Cannondale 29er black inc, Haibike all mtn rx (modded motor / components). Firstly, I'm not super fit at 5ft,9 and 190lb, but I can ride my cannondale mtb on a 20 mile ride at around 15-16mph...

    xduro fullseven rc drive sprocket size

    Drive sprocket would make a difference, think I have a 18th tooth on ine and max out at about 40+mph which is enough if you come off the bike!. I've seen sprockets up to 22 teeth plus but of course this will have an impact on your climbing ability also. Try and strike a good balance. I think...

    Want a comparo of Haibike models to decipher features vs pricing

    Owe i should mention that i cycle with a friend who has a an old hardtail, he's 46 and holds many strava KOMS. He's supper fit and can keep up with me in eco mode on a 20 plus mile ride averaging 17mph (ride inc many hills). IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT THE BIKE!!!

    Want a comparo of Haibike models to decipher features vs pricing

    I went with RX over pro. My logic is that after having spent 10k on a race bike and only getting 3.5k back on eBay some 2 years later, high end bikes will still only sell for so much. The PRO components vs RX for me not worth the upgrade and you'll lose even more money when resold. I along with...

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

    wren, i fully agree. Ive covered over 100 miles last week averaging 18mph between either off or eco mode. I can honestly say imho this bike would be little use to me, other than hills of course without dongle. It cuts out at 15mph as we all know, but my average mph on my other bike (non bike)...

    Xduro allmtn rx / pro

    I'm 5'9 and went for the 46cm after much debate and a bike fit elsewhere.

    Xduro allmtn rx / pro

    I'm 5'9 and bought the 46cm. Not perfect, but best fit for what sizes they do in this bike range. As I'm changing stem, bar and cranks i'll fine tune in time. In the UK my experience is that dealers are in their infancy and have little knowledge of a true bike fit let alone technical knowledge...

    Xduro allmtn rx / pro

    I'm happy at the moment, but many are saying it's a bit big for mtb. I'm yet to try the gps map routing. At the moment, I'm spending my time upgrading my bike, changing parts, colour and decals. Once finished I will post, but it's taking long than I thought.

    Xduro allmtn rx / pro

    Thanks for feedback Chris, this was one of my thoughts also. I'm stripping some things from my cannonade scalpel one, that i upgraded and will be putting stock items back on so i can sell. I will move these to the haibike. All bikes have a premium ie. silly enough some years ago to to buy a...

    Xduro allmtn rx / pro

    oh, should have said my friend who runs a vinyl wrap business and did my last bike some years ago is looking at my bike tomorrow. I have already changed the fox 34 decals to red and black, ordered new wheels, saddle, bar and he will look to remove all lime green and change to black, white and...

    Xduro allmtn rx / pro

    Thanks for feedback. I come from a keen mtb / local road cycling club background where 3k to 10k on a bike was the norm, but as i said service and knowledge is important. I totally agree about e-bike market and sales being relatively new and much to learn. I took my bike out with friends aged...

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

    yes. i press the tiny button at back and it activates the dongle. it initially shows 3mph for a split second for some reason then immediately shows correct speed vs my garmin. Its a must on flat tarmac roads can easily maintain about 28mph with the wrong mob tyres and with a little effort get up...

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

    I'm not sure what dongle was fitted by the dealer, but it's great. I normally ride my mtb bike about +15mph on the flat of course and noticed that when I ride with no dongle assistance I easily get to 15mph, but am constantly fighting between motor starting and stopping as I'm trying to peddle...

    Xduro allmtn rx / pro

    Hi, Just to let you all know I ended up with the rx as opposed to the pro. Just interested if anyone else debated between the rx and pro. My initial logic other than the price difference them was many of the upgrades I didn't either need, like or could justify the difference. I did upgrade to...

    haibike xduro allmtn rx 2016 - what size?

    Good point. I'll change tyres to high rolling ones and tubeless. I'm terrible with bikes as usually end up upgrading wheels, bars etc. Let you know how i get on. My current fs mtb weighs in at 23b, so i'm hoping eco mode will more than compensate for weight gain. i can't believe how expensive...
