Haibike S/Duro trecking ???

[Chris51]

Missed a Haibike around xmas time when they were selling off the old models.A cycle centre not too far off have the same one in ---ex demo which I intend on trying out. It is a 2017 one but they are asking £1500 for it which I think a bit high as its 2 years old and had quite a bit of use ?I have a e-folder but looking for one for trail etc riding.Anyone had experience with one -they are German (Chinese parts/assembled in Germany?)

My (excellent) Merida eMTB goes way faster than 15mph without modification. It's called pedalling .....

OK... Maybe I was a little hasty
I had an image of Halfords.

Seriously, unless the vendors supplied a new battery I wouldn't buy it. Too risky, given a replacement will be @£500. Transmissions also wear faster so you'd want to be having a new chain and checking all the cogs for hooked teeth.

Have a look on ebay.de. My Merida (R&D Germany, built in Taiwan) is available at UK retailers at £4400, Leisure lakes wanted £3600 (bu didn't have stock). I got mine from Germany, 'make an offer' for €3000 inc shipping to UK. As I was getting €1.14/£ that worked out @ £2600.
Had to assemble it, mind but I had the tools and pumps for the air-suspension.

yes get one of those that Nigel has got they are really fast

Another thing to watch out for is if it’s Bosch motors.
My son has had his e-bike for just over 3 years and it’s had 2 new motors as the bearings go on them!!
Luckily both replaced under warranty.
