Will it be retrofittable?
eConnect is expected to be available by end of april 2018 as retrofit kit at your dealer. It is suitable for every Haibike model (except XDURO Gen1 with Bosch Classic system). The skid plate might have to be exchanged.
My note: I think it's actually only retrofittable on newer models.
Which countries feature eConnect?
The following countries feature eConnect: Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Finnland, France, French Guiana, Gibraltar, Greece, the UK, Guadeloupe, Ireland, Iceland, Isle of Man, Italy, Channel Islands, Croatia, La Désirade, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Marie-Galante, Martinique, Monaco, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Reunion & Mayotte, Romania, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin (French part), San Marino, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Czech Republic, Hungary, Vatican City, Cyprus.
What happens when I'm not in one of the above countries?
In this case, the onboard unit will not be able to connect to the server. This results in the eConnect app being unable to operate. No additional costs occur!
Does eConnect work when you remove the bike's main battery?
Yes, the transmitting unit of the eBike houses a separate buffer battery. Thus, the function is ensured, even when the eBike battery is removed or empty.
How long can the buffer battery last?
When the eBike is not moved, the system switches into an economical monitoring mode which lasts up to 6 months. As soon as the eBike is back in use again, the buffer battery charges automatically via the drive system.
Can the unit easily be removed in order to avoid an alarm?
No because the movement sensor in the transmitting unit reacts extremely sensitive to vibrations.
