    does your Haibike Urban Plus actually go 28 mph?

    thanks for that information! That makes sense. My experience is pedaling very hard I can easily maintain about 24 mph. I've never seen 28mph even down hill with a tail wind. I managed to find a dealer that should have the software for connecting to the bike a little drive away. I'll report...

    does your Haibike Urban Plus actually go 28 mph?

    ok I've been riding with GPS speed and it's probably a setting that was changed for top speed. It just does not assist past 24 mph you can feel a sharp drop in assist as soon as you reach that speed. That being said I can't really blame the bike for that if the settings were changed. I...

    Car Power Inverter

    If you're handy enough with electronics just get a solar panel and solar charge controller and buy a plug for your ebike, plug directly into the ebike from the solar panel. You can do a solar panel to deep cycle. If you do that I recommend isolating the deep cycle from your regular car...

    2017 Haibike Urban Plus issues & Replacement Part Specifications

    yeah that makes sense. I'm having gear shift issues, I've ordered the Shimano E bike specific chain in 136 links and I'll have to break that down to size. I should note that I adjusted the shift sensor, previously it was way to sensitive and would cut power over bumps when the rear derailer...

    Haibike Urban Plus, wobble problem

    this is normal with tires inflated at lower pressure and a steering geometry set more agressive. Basically if you remove your hands from the bar the bike will find a balance between the crown of the road and your weight distribution on the bike and go for it very quickly a severe wobble (if...

    Haibike Urban Plus, wobble problem

    do either of the wheels spin when off the ground? also spin them around slowly and look between the rim and the bike frame to look for a bent/out of true rim and a defective tire, it will travel closer or further from the frame when you spin it. Just get it off the ground, even upside down...

    Haibike Urban Plus, wobble problem

    is the wheel straight? Also if you raise the front wheel is it balanced? bad head bearings can cause this problem in motorcycles. Also in extreme cases a bad back wheel /out of balance back wheel will cause a wobble at the front.

    COBI update bricked my bike :( Haibike Urban Plus Cobi Update Bugs, any fixes?

    the tranzx should be capable of calculating a power figure if they have a torque sensor since power is torque times RPM but COBI might not have access to it thru the canbus system.

    thanks for the offer! Unfortunately I'm in usa. I suppose it could be the torque sensor, but I will continue to do my fixes to the problem because there are no dealers or anybody who can service this for many hours drive.

    class 3 commuter bikes that can actually go 28 mph with some luggage?

    they changed their models around slightly but that is a bike I am interested in. The torque sensor appears to be on the drop outs? Also, they now claim 20mph top speed on the model posted on the previous page, and you have to upgrade to the next up model to get the 52V battery. I wonder if...

    COBI update bricked my bike :( Haibike Urban Plus Cobi Update Bugs, any fixes?

    yes if you try and do the update the cobi system basically has no firmware on it if you can't get the update to complete. Otherwise you could use your bike without a smartphone and the cobi interface no problem
