    Haibike Urban Plus, wobble problem

    Hi Ravi and Mike. Actually, AmegoEV in Toronto is where I purchased the bike. Though a demo, it was fully warranteed, and as per their policy, they build and fully test all the ebikes that they sell and leave the shop. So I am going back to them and seeing how the customer support is, on an...

    Haibike Urban Plus, wobble problem

    hi ravi, and mike. the deal is, my urban plus mid drive is pulling to one side, and has a speed wobble when i let go of the handlebars. i thought maybe the wheels needed truing, but when i took it to a bike shop, they determined the frame is out of alignment, 4 mm. this may be the cause of the...

    Right. Well I guess wobbly and tracking straight are two different things. Do your bikes have wobbles in them or do they just lean one way or the other with your hands off ?

    Ah! Spoke too soon. The wobble persists. Moved lock and chains front to back and front again, but to no avail. Will check tire pressure tomorrow.

    Haibike Urban Plus, wobble problem

    Lots of good info there. Thanks! So, what I did was release the air from the tires and squeeze the tires when soft. It seemed there may have been a kink in the inner tube, or the tires weren’t seated on the rims properly. With air back in, I took it for a lengthy ride, and at all speeds there...

    Haibike Urban Plus, wobble problem

    Its a 2017, as far as I can tell. actually, perhaps a death wobble is when the bike wobbles even when you are holding on to the handle bars. this is not the case for me. it does slightly vibrate when i hold the bars, but nothing that i cant control

    Haibike Urban Plus, wobble problem

    Yes, absolutely. It is a Death Wobble. If I dont grab the bars, it will wipe out.. I got the bike back from the shop service in Toronto, and they tightened the steering bearing. But did not fix the issue.

    Haibike Urban Plus, wobble problem

    Yes, that is clearly what they said. I won't mention the bike store, yet. They said because the weight is at the back because of the rear hub motor, it is to be expected. And that I had my locks in the carrier over the rear wheel. They said the problem was mine, not theirs, or the bike. I told...

    Haibike Urban Plus, wobble problem

    i was told by the store i should expect wobble in Ebikes. i have a problem accepting this. if you dont have wobble in your xduro trekking s rx., why should i not expect the same in my bike?

    Haibike Urban Plus, wobble problem

    im not sure how to determine the straightness of the wheel. i can look at it visually and then tighten and loosen the spokes as neccessary. wheel balance is determined by when you lift it, it doesnt spin one way or another?

    Haibike Urban Plus, wobble problem

    Thanks for your ideas about tire pressure. As for doing a lot of hands free riding, it’s nice to be able to let go of the bars and sit upright a bit. I’ve always peddled that way. I just have never had a bike or motorcycle that has wobbled until now. I’ll keep looking for solutions.

    Haibike Urban Plus, wobble problem

    Hi All, I just purchased an Urban Plus, here in Toronto. Love the cycle, the smooth shifting and power band. However, over 15 km/hr, when I let go of the handlebars, the bike slips into a wobble, so much so that I have to grab the bars again before I imagine the front wheels throwing the bike...
