    Thoughts on the Haibike SDURO Trekking 4.0?

    So, I found the problem (I think). The motor mount bolts were a little loose (they were loose when I got the bike, I torqued them with a proper torque wrench to the 22 nm indicated on the frame). The loose bolts let the crank set twist a little, so the front cog had about 5mm play left-right...

    Thoughts on the Haibike SDURO Trekking 4.0?

    Nope, the highest gear (9) works great. 1-7 also work great. It is just 8th gear that gets clickety when pedaling hard. That is the odd thing. Since all the other gears work fine, I think I just need to do micro adjustments with the cable barrel adjusters. I have tried a quarter turn of the...

    Thoughts on the Haibike SDURO Trekking 4.0?

    I've ridden my Haibike SDURO Trekking 4.0 about 200 miles now. Overall, the bike is doing great, I am happy with it, and think it was a decent value at $1,800. Range (for me, so far): HIGH Assist mode: 20-22 miles with "Full" pedal assist usage, crusing at 15MPH MID: 35-40 miles ECO...

    Thoughts on the Haibike SDURO Trekking 4.0?

    I have the 56cm (22") step-through. Some people might call it the "ladies" frame. But honestly, the Haibike frames have angles and shapes (hydroformed frames) and unless someone knows Haibike frames pretty well, I don't think that they would even know this was a "step-through" variant. That...

    Thoughts on the Haibike SDURO Trekking 4.0?

    I wonder how much battery juice it would drain? Maybe not much, but it has to be something.

    Thoughts on the Haibike SDURO Trekking 4.0?

    The brakes fully locked, and if I left the weight of my leg on top of the pedal, it moves a millimeter or two (like chain stretch? or maybe there is a spring inside the gearbox?) anyway, it was detecting when I pressed on the pedal and I could feel the motor pushing.

    Thoughts on the Haibike SDURO Trekking 4.0?

    After just one 10 mile trip on the Trekking 4.0, there is at least one thing that could be improved. There is no sensor on the brakes that cut's off power to the motor. I knew that when I bought it, but didn't realize that it is somewhat desirable even on a pedal assist only bike. The reason is...

    Thoughts on the Haibike SDURO Trekking 4.0?

    I have only had mine one day. Assembled it last night. However, I had been riding a 2012 Trek Soho DLX Carbon Drive ($1,200 5 years ago). I consider this new Haibike and my old Trek bike very similar in terms of engineering and build quality. There is NOTHING that *must* be replaced right...

    Thoughts on the Haibike SDURO Trekking 4.0?

    I just bought a 2017 Haibike SDURO Trekking 4.0 online about 2 weeks ago. It arrived in a box at my house yesterday. I put it together last night, let the battery charge overnight. I rode it about 10 miles today. Love the bike so far. It was 99% assembled already... Really just had a few...

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

    I am value conscious not strictly price conscious. I know there are less expensive e-bikes, but I wanted a compromise between quality, simplicity, durability, and price. The price I found was $1999 with a 10% discount, no taxes, free delivery, final cost is $1799.10 Buying with a credit card...

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

    Well, I ended up getting something a little different because of the prices.. I ordered a Haibike SDURO Trekking 4.0 (with the Yamaha motor). The price is good, but I don't think it has shift dection either, and it isn't a 28MPH, only 20. Well, I'll switch threads to one more relevant now...

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

    Good luck, if you find them, let me know. I searched for a while today and every place I found says they are all sold out. The smaller frame sizes are in some local stocks, but aren't in stock from Haibike anymore.

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

    And the dealer called me this morning and said, "Sorry, the large frame size is no longer available." Oh well... back to the drawing board. I am looking at the iZIP E3 Protour. What are the differences between this bike and the Haibike Urban Plus? It looked to me like the HUP had shift...
