Never bring an ebike to a hatchet fight, I would have probably turned around. We live in a cabin in the woods; as I walk the bush trails with the dog, it is not unusual to see bear, wolf/coyote sign. During the Summer I carry bear spray and a schoolyard whistle, in the Fall I will add either...

Up here, Ontario CA, your bike would have to be licensed and insured to be legally operated on public roads, and would be prohibited on bicycle trails and most multi-use trails.

A good rationalization that essentially says "I know that what I am doing is against the law, but I dont agree with the law, so I'll disregard it and suffer the consequences if caught." The problem is, if too many people flaunt the law, and accidents become an issue, there is a good chance...

If I am riding on a rail-trail I will usually use eco, unless there is a headwind, then I will shift so tour. I do a weekly ride with a local cycle group, our average speed is around the 25 kph range through hilly terrain, I use the tour setting and usually lag behind on flat ground and...

I have a 2015 Haibike xduro trekking pro, 3k miles and my battery is about 86%. I get about 2.5 miles on the first 20% and 32 miles on the remaining 80%.

My ride yesterday was through rural Ontario, 25 miles of backroads, rolling hills, a river valley and farmland. I saw deer, turkeys, wild ducks, geese, and numerous other birds. This part of Ontario has a vibrant Mennonite Community, I followed a horse-drawn buggy for a while and waved at a...

IMO, it is much easier to impose limits on the ability of a vehicle (bike) to perform a task, as opposed to how the operator of a vehicle makes use of it. In the first case, periodic monitoring of bikes using restricted trails would quickly weed out those that were non-compliant; in the...

Our favourites are the rail trails in our area, a fine crushed-stone base that is wide enough to ride side-by-side. We are blessed with a number of trails in the Ottawa/Kingston area of Canada. We typically ride from one town to another, have an outdoor lunch, then return.

For me, the 20mph cutoff is important for bikes on multi-use trails. DW and I enjoy the rail trails in our area, we usually cruise around the 15mph range, encountering multiple groups going near twice that speed would be dangerous imo. I have no problem with higher speed bikes on city streets...

I've hit over 50mph, once. At that speed, if you have a reflector attached to your spokes, the rpms are enough to throw your wheel out of balance and your handlebars will start to shudder, you will feel a similar vibration through your seat, as the rear wheel is also out of balance. It is then...

It makes sense to me; if you want to ride a bike, flip down the bike plate. When you want higher speeds and more performance, flip up the bike plate....oh, and pay for a license and probably insurance as well.

I live in the North Woods of Ontario, Canada. Our normal high daily temperature for this time of year is 8C, today it went up to 20. Fortunately I have many scarcely travelled rural roads and a number of rail-trails to choose from. Today's run was a 30k tour through forests, farm country and...

I have a mirror on my Haibike, and DW has one on her BH; after 5 and 4 years, no problems.

I've been riding my e-bike since 2016, it has brought the joy of cycling back for me. Our snow has mostly disappeared, the forecast is for temps in the high teens C, I will be riding this week.

2016 Haibike XDuro Trekking, I had to drive from Ontario, Canada to New Hampshire to pick it up.

We use a platform rack with a 2" hitch mount for our 2 ebikes, it works very well on our Outback.

Update: It was a bad controller, we managed to get through our vacation by developing work arounds and choosing our routes. Our thanks to the folks at Scooteretti and the it service department.

OK, error code 13 is electrical. Some have resolved it with a firmware update, not happening on our vacation, I will check the wiring and try cleaning the contacts to see if that helps at all.

DW's Evo City Wave is having controller problems. We are in Bar Harbor on vacation, this is her 4th time out with the bike. On power up, everything looks good for an instant, then it shows a 28 error code, flashes low battery and then gives a 13 error code and a triangle with an exclamation...

My experience buying online was nothing but the best, when you buy a new car, it is not unusual to have miles on the odo, up here, under a couple of hundred kilometers is still considered new. To the OP, sorry you were unhappy with your deal, but it doesn't sound as if you lost anything.
