My first 10 miles on a 2017 Haibike Sduro Trekking 4.0 High-Step

Just returned from a leisurely ride via streets and bike path.

With the display off to the left, I was able to attach a handlebar pack.

I like the flat handle bars, but with my hands going to the far ends of the handle, I'm not sure where to put a rear view mirror.

I have to get used to the handlebar gear changing up/down. Over the last 50 years, all my bikes have had levers on the down frame.

After a few more miles, will probably switch out the saddle for a Koobi or something else.

I think it should have a double kickstand because it is heavy. I'm leery when I use the kickstand and turn the wheel in, just doesn't feel secure.

Front fork suspension worked fine. Planning a ride on a fire road soon.

Over time, will probably change out the wheels for ones that support schrader valves. There isn't enough room on the rim to drill out the rim for schrader

Congrats on your new bike! I almost bought the Trekking but I ended up with an AllMtn Plus.

I use the Myrrycle on the left handlebar. I like the fact that my own body or arm does not obscure the view. You can also fold it for easier passage through doorways.

Saddles are very individual as you probably know. I use the Selle SMP TRK (i.e. trekking), but you have to find one that is comfortable for you individually.

Switching wheels would be very expensive. Why not just get a Schrader valve adapter?
