The problem here is the US economy has completely realigned and is no longer able to support sweat shop and high density factories to produce cheap consumer goods. The reality is that better to have China make this stuff with there massive population, while technology, design, software is the...

I got a Tern Vektron in Tokyo, which I love. Expensive and they down graded the battery to 300 w!

Made in China (not Taiwan) ebikes hammered by 25% customs duty for import to USA from May 10. Not only direct sellers like Addmotor, but all ebike brands that are sourcing their bikes and parts from China, including components like Bafang drive trains. Get your bike now before prices are sure...

I would be surprised.....best bet is Yamaha, but these monster mamachari bikes would be a tough sell too many Americans. Its really amazing how ebikeshave taken off in Japan. I guess over 50% of the bikes around are ebikes, many just simple bikes with electric motors. Tokyo Docomo bike share is...

That Kinect post is awesome. I gotta check it out!

From just looking at the specs, the big differences seem to be the drive unit, display and fork. Regarding drive system, both have Bosch systems, but different versions. The Trek has a Performance Line unit, while the Haibike has a CX unit. The CX is popular for eMTB because of its higher...

Perfect! Fully understood. Any idea if and when the xDuro Adventr 6.0 FLYON 2019 will hit the USA?? - don't think its released anywhere yet. Is this model the next version of the Sduro 9.0?? Looking at the Haibike site, the bike sure looks sexy, and lots of tech to geek out on. Thanks so much...

How does this bike compare to the 2019 XDURO Trekking S 9.0?? (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) I am always so confused with the difference between S Duro and X Duro. And I suppose "S" means cat 3???

Wow, I just struggle to get a grip on Haibike's line up. By year, by model, by spec, by country, by category. Very confusing. And web descriptions come and go, different specs or descriptions by country and early announcement of new models and then a long wait. Love the quality, innovation...

I have been having the same problem as others in this forum - engine cuts out and is useless after about 30 minutes of usage. Need to turn off and on and then only works if nursed in mode 1 and even then cuts out frequently. Once the motor stops working the bike is basically a heavy rock and...

My view is that its going to be a poor build quality bike with little or no features. It will likely have a Bafang hub motor, and the fork and suspension will be almost unusable. Also check for little things like quick release hubs (forget about that on the rear wheel), weight, and over all...

The enforcement actions came up due to a caller to the "Ask the Mayor" program hosted by Brian Lehrer on WNYC. An Upper West Side resident called in to ask Mayor DeBlasio why the regulations regarding e-bikes was not being enforced, which was a follow up to a news piece earlier in the week also...

Looking for EBR update on Yamaha - I saw they are introducing a line of their own bikes. Also any updates on their drive system. Also wondering for EBR opinion on how Yamaha line of bikes will change the market dynamic vs Bosch. I looked at the e bikes for sale on the Yamaha Japanese web...
