    Who has had premature drivetrain failures with a Mid drive ?

    I wonder if anyone can help me with this. I'm pretty sure I broke something in my mid-drive motor. I was at the bottom of a steep hill at full stop. I'd forgotten to downshift before stopping so I was still in high gear when I started up this hill. I think the combination of me being a heavy...

    Hey nickybcareful, Congrats on the new bike! It's beautiful. I had a tough time trying to decide on which color to get, but in the end, I chose white since my previous bike was also grey and black. I see we also installed the same mirror! How did you get the Topeak Trunk Bag to go onto the...

    Well, I'd have to say that the Haibike Urban Plus is definitely not an off road bike! However, the tires on this thing are no joke and they cushion the ride more than I ever would have expected. The caveat here is speed. This bike can cruise at pretty high speeds and that makes a big difference...

    Hey Mister M, Now that I've had a chance to really try the bike out, I have to say the Urban Plus really likes hills. I'm told the TranzX M25 motor has 70-newton meters of torque. This being my first e-bike and all, I'm not sure I really know what that means. However, I do know that I weigh...

    The same bike is sold in the EU under a different brand name ("Winora", which owns Haibike). I think it's called the "Radar Urban". The EU has different requirements for bicycles than the US so there are subtle changes.

    So, yesterday I brought home the Haibike Urban Plus for the first time. :) I picked it up from the shop in Brooklyn and rode to back to New Jersey. Bear in mind that before yesterday, I'd only ever seen the Urban Plus on the internet. To my surprise, it's a very stout looking bike in person! I...

    I bought the Haibike Urban Plus today! After a few weeks scouring the internet and reading posts on this thread, I decided to go to a local bike shop and take the plunge. Like netzeroykima said, there isn't a wealth of information out there about the Urban Plus, and my best source of information...

    Hey Macsinvan, I saw your post about buying the Haibike Urban Plus. I was wondering how things were going with the bike? I'm about to buy one. I know there have been some issues with the COBI connectivity but at $1,699 I was wondering if it's still worth the purchase. What problems does the COBI...

    Haibike Urban Plus 2017 - The most exciting Urban E-bike!

    God knows I want the Haibke Urban Plus! E-bikes are a bit out of my budget range, but at this price, I finally have a chance to join in. My bike dealer here in NYC had the Urban Plus listed for $3,599 on their site two days ago. I emailed them about my interest and pointed out that it was being...
