    RadCity vs Haibike Urban Plus?

    Had time to test ride some today. I started at a rental/shop that had Pedego bikes, b/c I wanted to try a hub motor first. It was a rental beach cruiser type model ($2700). I did enjoy the throttle and realized that shifting was optional if you wanted. Then went to the Haibike dealer...

    RadCity vs Haibike Urban Plus?

    Heck, if I thought I'd do any trail / offroad riding, I'd seriously consider the 2018 Voltbike Yukon!

    RadCity vs Haibike Urban Plus?

    Bear with me for a lengthy post: Just got back from my mtb commute - only the second time I’ve ridden to my new job. Used Google Fit for some tracking info. (side note, I think I would put 1500-2500 mi/yr on the bike) Route: It’s only 5.1 mi, and my ride home has a steady incline of maybe 250’...

    RadCity vs Haibike Urban Plus?

    After another night of reading, I think I'm leaning towards the RadCity for its potential long term durability and the fact that the few reviews/info on the Urban Plus mention issues with the COBI system and [older] issues with the transX motor (2016s mainly?). Either way, not too confidence...

    Best mid-drive mtn bike under $2500?

    Some 2017 Haibike closeouts meet most of your needs, except throttle, I believe... https://www.randombikeparts.com/collections/complete-bikes/haibike

    RadCity vs Haibike Urban Plus?

    Juiced CrossCurrent S and Voltbike Yukon Limited are also contenders for my price range, but I think I was going with the RadCity for the lower price over those. Now the Haibike is throwing off my decision!

    RadCity vs Haibike Urban Plus?

    Even though the Haibike lacks some things like: suspension - yet larger tires. Would 27.5" vs 26" help make up some of the softening of a front suspension fork? No throttle or brake-motor cutoff that I can find mentioned, either. Just wondering how I would downshift when approaching a stop if...

    Radcity 2018 worth the $300 more?

    Where are you seeing a $300 difference? I only see $200 - and I've also been eyeing the RadCity for a bike. $1299 vs $1499 If I could get one for $1200, that could sway me (I started my own thread of RadCity vs Haibike Urban Plus at $1700) or a 2018 for $1400 would also be nice. 2018s have a...

    RadCity vs Haibike Urban Plus?

    [edit/update - for conclusion, see this post] Hi - looking for a first ebike for a non-sweaty 6mi each way commute. Couple easy/moderate hills, nothing steep really. I was pretty set on the 2018 RadCity, after thinking the new design and upsized battery was worth the extra $200 vs the outgoing...
