Any updates on how the bike actually handles and rides? Living in a country with actual winters, I've been looking for a bike that could sport fat tires for snow conditions and then swap 3" tires for summer and as this would be a commuter, rack and fenders are a must. Obviously I'm rather...

Thanks! That's.. annoying.

When I got mine, Helkama cycles were priced above my budget, but they seem to have come down since that. I trust they are of high quality, but I could not justify paying more than 2500€ for my first ebike; before getting one you could not be 100% sure if you really end up using it much more than...

Hello, I have a Haibike based on Yamaha PW series ebike system. Now, in the winter, the range is really becoming an issue. Lithium battery is not ideal when it's cold and there's tons of rolling resistance when cycling in 10-15 centimeters (4-6") worth of packed and wet snow so the battery gets...

When it comes to ebike availability, it's frankly all over the place, but I guess the situation is the same everywhere; pretty much every shop that sells ebikes has different brands than others, and then there's the often taken option of ordering them from Germany.. However, what's a bit sad is...

Ortlieb bags are indeed easy to detach which is a mixed blessing. I always take them with me, because they are equally easy to steal. But they are also practical - they attach nicely to the shopping cart and I can pack them while still inside and not subject to elements. But I've been...

I do pretty much all my daily chores with this, so there's sometimes quite a lot of stuff to carry; in this case front panniers contain the climbing equipment and back panniers have the running equipment and groceries. On days with colder weather I have ridiculous amounts of layers, as riding...

Cleaning: I live in the South, so we don't nowadays have long periods below the freezing point. After two to three weeks it will melt, and at that point I can inspect the bike and bring it indoors to be cleaned if need be. With this climate I'm considering chain and cassette expendable - I...

That spray worries me a bit. When we're close to the 0C there's quite a lot of salt on the roads and thus on the snow. Haibike opted to cover the motor unit with their own skid plate which is great for protecting from mechanical stress, but leaves some cavities that at worst can fill with salty...

On bicycle tires Suomi Tyres continues the legacy of Nokian Hakkapeliitta. Nokian stopped doing bicycle tires, and Suomi Tyres bought both the business and the factory from them. So these are as close as you can get. And they work wonderfully as long as the studs can reach a solid surface.

Hello, this is my ride. The base is Haibike Sduro Hardseven 2.5, based on Yamaha PW series e-bike system. Winter conditions hereabouts can be challenging, so I opted to get an ebike especially to tackle winter commutes. The winter tires are Suomi Tyres 57-584, and I had to install wider...
