In mid-2020 I bought my girlfriend a Tern HSD. The first few months of ownership she would fold the handlebars and load it into her Mercedes 4-door sedan, folding the rear seats. We got a set of removable pedals so that sliding the bike into the trunk would not mar the car's interior. After...

I'm a big fan of Jones H-Bars. I have one on my Haibike and another on my Yuba Spicy Curry AT. The headlight of my Spicy Curry was located on top of the stem, like yours, and I relocated it to the front of the breadbasket where Yuba had conveniently drilled a hole for that purpose, so it's...

Perhaps the least expensive option would be to "tune" your bike with a speed derestrictor such as the bikespeed. I did that with my Yamaha-powered Haibike mountain bike and have enjoyed it for 15,000 trouble-free miles. I also added a rack and panniers. If you did that, your Yamaha Cross Core...

I recently bought a Yuba Spicy Curry AT (all-terrain). Unlike the regular Spicy Curry, the AT model supports speeds up to 28 mph with its Bosch Cargo Line motor. It's a strong, hill-climbing motor, unlike other wimpy Bosch motors I've tried in the past. The AT model also has front suspension, a...

There is something to be said about slowing down and doing things properly with the right tool. Of all the brewing methods I have at my disposal—filter, French press, AeroPress, Turkish cezve—the Moka pot remains my favorite. I have to dig out the information on a cold brew method popular in my...

@overloading, my daughter has a Radwagon 4 and she likes it a lot. She uses it every day to take my granddaughter, 2 years old, to daycare. Like you, she lives in Seattle and she chose the Radwagon because the company is based in Seattle. That said, she still had to wait a few days when she...

That would really piss them off!

Our Sena's R1's have a clear-line-of-sight range of a few hundred yards. If a building or a hill gets in the way we may lose communication. They are really not for long-distance communication. Friends of ours, avid non-electric cyclists, have the Sena add-ons. Their complaint is that the...

I have been using a 710mm Jones H-Bar with 2.5-inch rise plus a stem riser for several years on my 2016 Haibike AllMtn ebike. If anything, I found the Jones H-Bar provides more control, not less. I also like the extra real estate for cockpit gadgets. Just like @m@Robertson, I put a lot of stuff...

I pre-ordered a Yuba Spicy Curry AT all-terrain cargo ebike yesterday. It differs from the regular Spicy Curry by having a front fork suspension, seat post suspension, knobby tires, and a Bosch Cargo Line motor with support up to 28 mph (i.e. it's a Class 3 bike). I tested the Bosch Cargo Line...

Being able to communicate with your fellow rider(s) is definitively a safety feature. For the past two years my girlfriend and I have been using Sena helmets when we ride together. We can talk throughout our ride, which makes the whole experience more pleasurable and sociable, and we don't have...

First of all, I don't agree that Van Moof is a super-cool company, "the Apple of bikes." For one thing, their designs are ugly, starting with the top tube. I don't get that instant desire to own one as I got, back in 1984, when the first Macintosh was announced. I am a retired architect (now a...

Sorry to hear about your problems with your Yamaha PW system, @Lopez. My experience has been the opposite. My Haibike's Yamaha PW system has been extremely reliable. In over 5 years and nearly 15,000 miles, nothing has gone wrong. So much so that a conventional bike shop services my bike for...

I've had Schalbe G-Ones on my Haibike eMtn bike. They were good on pavement and OK off-road. The wear on your tires, @MrLibraryMan, looks normal. When I had a devastating puncture by a sharp piece of metal lying on the road, I went back to Schwalbe Nobby Nics because they are grippier off-road...

The short answer to @Timpo's comment, "I don't know what happen to them" in post #5 is that Schwinn went bankrupt, its name acquired by an investment group, then sold and resold again and again. Wikipedia has a good write-up. I still have my Schwinn Paramount. By the time I got it as a used...

I have been using a Jones H-bar on my Haibike eMT for years and like it a lot. I would like to see an electric version of the titanium space-frame bike with titanium space-frame fork!

Good to know that the Bosch Cargo Line motor is up to the task. Last year I bought my girlfriend a Tern HSD S+ with a lesser Bosch motor, and I was disappointed with the weak uphill performance. But, at the time, the Bosch Cargo Line was not yet available for the GSD. The good news is that my...

According to this error code list you have to replace the display.

After five years and 13,500 miles on my Haibike AllMtn Plus: More than 701 cycles (all four LED's blinking) 75-100% battery capacity (all four LED's on) I recently bought a second battery. It was not cheap! But the new one has 500Wh vs the 400Wh of the original battery. Yesterday I went on a...

@Ravi Kempaiah, congratulations on your PhD and turning down Amazon! Looking forward to your future e-bike and battery products! As it turns out, the end of this month is the 5th anniversary of my Yamaha-powered Haibike. So, taking each item of the list above, 1. My Yamaha battery has lasted 5...
