    Mid Drive wear & tear for long distance commute

    I think they may be different specs. And it looks like they're in the middle of updating their site now, because if I switch to "Englisch" I see different models. Oh hey, they actually have a US microsite now: https://www.haibike.com/de/de XDURO Trekking S RX - Bosch Performance 350W But that...

    Mid Drive wear & tear for long distance commute

    Thanks everyone! I have not actually test ridden a Haibike yet. The bikes I have tested so far are: a bike with a BionX system (can't remember which brand), and a Specialized Turbo X. Both were nice, but I've always preferred a sportier ride, and there are a bunch of Haibikes this year that use...

    Mid Drive wear & tear for long distance commute

    I originally posted part of this in the Specialized sub-forum, but my question has become a bit more general so I figured it would get more eyes here! I'm about to move to the suburbs and begin a 60 km (37.3 mi) daily commute (round trip). I really like the Haibikes, but I think I've been...

    Drop Bar conversion on a base model Turbo?

    That is nice, but I'd still need to upgrade the brakes (gotta have disc brakes here in Vancouver!), which means also having to upgrade wheels, brakes, shifters (hydraulic compatible), etc. Also, after converting USD to CAD, adding packing/shipping, import tax/duty, etc, I'll probably be back up...

    Fender mount for Xduro Race or Super Race?

    Does anyone know if either the Xduro Race or Super Race have mounting points for fenders or racks? I appears as though the front fork has a mounting hole (directly to the right of the "C" in "CLOSE" in the following image...

    Drop Bar conversion on a base model Turbo?

    According to everything I've read (so far), the mid drive bikes seem to put a lot of additional stress on the chain. I was figuring, if a chain is supposed to last 2500-3000 km on a non-electric bike, then I'm already going to be potentially changing the chain once a month due to the distance I...

    Drop Bar conversion on a base model Turbo?

    Hello all! New to the forum, but I've been reading and researching ebikes for months! I'm about to move to the suburbs and begin a 60 km (37.3 mi) daily commute (round trip). I've always ridden and preferred road bikes, but it's been tricky to find an ebike with drop bars. I found the Haibikes...
