    My internet ordering experience so far...

    Thanks Chris, after encountering rain a couple times on my daily commute I've had to gear up a little bit more, and the Arkel just wasn't able to handle it all. I've since switched over to these panniers which are great! I've got almost 400 miles of commuting on it now, and am a little amazed...

    My internet ordering experience so far...

    It's the PCS-10. Yea I really didn't 'want' to buy it, but was doing so much work that bending over was killing my back. It makes ALL the difference in the world for that! I've learned a TON about the bike during this process so some silver lining. The stand has made working on the bike a joy...

    My internet ordering experience so far...

    Yea if I had it to do over again I would definitely had sent it back at the first sign it was damaged. The dealer was very insistent that this was not the correct course of action however. Well, at least as of this weekend I finally have a whole, fully functional bike. I got up early this...

    You are a wealth of information J.R., thank you :) I appreciated your link to the star nut video, not sure I would have found and understood that otherwise. I went to the lbs and got a replacement bolt yesterday and tried everything that is in the second video you posted and I still have play...

    My internet ordering experience so far...

    Here are a couple more pictures. The dealer wants to send me the parts to fix it, new seat, rack, star nut, etc. However now I'm finding a bunch of play in the fork/downtube and am worried something there got damaged when that bolt was getting bent. The force on those components to do that must...

    Minnesota, USA, e-Bike Law Question

    Florida has similar laws and our lbs just started selling the new Trek Super Commuter which is a 28mph bike... so it's not just Minnesota.

    On further inspection, I've found the rear rack has some deep gouges and one pretty good size dent in the top tubing. Still no response from the sales guy, getting ready to call now.

    My internet ordering experience so far...

    Negotiated a great price on a 2017 Haibike Trekking 4.0 so placed the order. The bike had to be shipped to the dealer, who said he would upgrade the firmware on the Bosch system and then send it to me in Florida. The whole process was actually pretty quick, and I received the bike last night...

    Over 50's 2017 XDuro Trekking 4.0 Chronicles

    Yea that's a nice looking bike. When I asked my LBS about discounting the Super Commuter they said they couldn't do it because it was 'so new', a 2018 model. So assuming I'd have to pay retail for the Powerfly, plus 6% sales tax, the Haibike is actually substantially less money. And that's not...

    Over 50's 2017 XDuro Trekking 4.0 Chronicles

    Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately no dealers anywhere close by. We have a Trek dealer, and they JUST got a Super Commuter in the other day and offered to let me test drive it. That was my first experience with an EBike. I really liked it, but I just can't see spending that much. I...

    Over 50's 2017 XDuro Trekking 4.0 Chronicles

    Hi Over50, I've really enjoyed reading this thread and it has helped me to make the decision to buy a Trekking 4.0 - will hopefully be ordering one once Hurricane Irma blows through. I will be using the bike much like you do, I have a 10 mile one-way commute to work, mostly flat, only climb is...

    What are you thoughts on 2018 Haibike Models?

    Well they seem to have changed the distinguishment between XDuro and SDuro, so there is no longer an XDuro 4.0, only the SDuro 9.5 and 9.0 on the US Website. The 9.0 has the newer integrated Bosch battery it seems. I'm also having a hard time seeing many differences between the 9.5 and 4.0. At...

    What are you thoughts on 2018 Haibike Models?

    The new models seem to be up on the website now. I really like the Trekking 9.5 Wonder when they'll actually be available in the states? (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)
