    Haibike Xduro fullseven 9.0 customer review

    The dealer only pointed to things to minimize rubbing on the guide, ie use a washer to open it up and I also used a dremel very lightly on the nylon to make sure the chain didnt touch the guide. But as you said the chain makes noise going over the idler sprocket even with the guide removed so...

    Haibike Xduro fullseven 9.0 customer review

    The Haibike fullseven 9 is my first ebike and my first bicycle in over 20 years. Just to give you some background on where I’m coming from so that you can evaluate whether my experiences and opinions relate to you I’m not a cyclist and frankly I’ve not had an interest in bikes since I was a kid...

    I hate your ebike...

    Well, the article was sort-of a sham, obviously written to make the objections to ebikes look silly and petty and to extoll the virtues of ebikes. So far my experiences (though I'm very early into this journey) from dino-cyclists has been very positive. I have a good friend who has been riding...

    Haibike Flyon......2019

    I love this whole conversation, hikers hate mountain bikers, who hate ebikers, who hater electric motorcyclists, who hate 4 stroke motorcyclists, who hate 2 stroke motorcyclists, who blame atv'ers, who blame side by side maniacs, who hate jeep drivers, who blame rock crawlers... everyone points...

    In my opinion this is a shame, Forums should be for the members and should allow for open exchange of information both positive and negative. But they have become sales channels and cater more to vendors who pay, which helps to keep the forums operating. Unfortunately that means we have to live...

    I dont know the exact story so please correct me if wrong, I thought I read that Dicks sporting goods dropped Haibike leaving them with inventory that they expected to be spoken for. I read that the move had huge repercussions on the entire US distribution business.

    sorry guys, I didnt know there was a policy against free exchange of information about bike pricing on this forum. Luckily I did find a good price thanks to a member here and purchased a bike. It should be here by the end of next week Thanks!

    I guess I'm picky

    I decided that the Xduro fullseven 9.0S was the right bike for me. It looks like I'll soon be joining the ebike family Now for an agonizing wait :eek: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

    I guess I'm picky

    Can anyone tell me the differences between the bosch CX and the bosch speed? Of course I know the differences on paper but in actual use what were your impressions and thoughts?

    I guess I'm picky

    Well I spent the last couple of days riding more bikes and it looks like The Haibike fullseven S checks most of my boxes. I has a beautiful finish with high quality components. I didnt like the way the standard bosch system cut off at 19 mph but the S version with its 28 mph speed should not...

    Full suspension Ultra bike!

    I've never been on a bike with a suspension seatpost, what are the differences in the 2 options you offer? Maybe the HD is a good option. I assume it is also a 19" frame and I can get the 29" wheels. On the other hand I looked at vinyl wrap colors and found some pretty cool options from Avery...

    Full suspension Ultra bike!

    I think 19" is the perfect size for me. I love the brushed aluminum, wish it was available in the full suspension model. I'll look at wrap colors. How and when would you like me to order this? should I call and talk with you or someone else or make a note as I order? and I see that the ultra...

    Full suspension Ultra bike!

    That's a good solution, not perfect, I'd rather have beautiful gloss paint but a wrap could be very cool. Can you tell me the frame size?

    Full suspension Ultra bike!

    I've been researching bikes for a while now and the Juggernaut ultra 29er looks like it has all of the things I want: class2, 1000w mid mounted motor, hydraulic brakes, full suspension, quality components all around. But alas, it's just so ugly to me, why are so many bikes painted flat black...

    researching my first electric bike

    Thanks chriskmee, I did go to ebike central last week. I spent all afternoon there and had a chance to ride several bikes of different styles. I dont really want the rolling resistance of fat tires and through my test rides I really liked the bikes with full suspension best. I did ride 2 bikes...

    Thank you so much Bruce. Sounds like great advice

    I guess I'm picky

    As I read more about electric bikes I'm developing an ever-growing and complex set of desires for an electric bike. First of all this will be used as recreation. I have no commute and dont see myself running errands. The suburban streets where shops are located where I live are too dangerous for...
