    Report: Cycling benefits for the elderly

    I too am 64 and had a heart attack 2 years ago. I am the proud possessor of 8 stents. I concur that for rehab, the Haibike has been fantastic. After 6 weeks the rehab nurses said I was 3 months ahead of my peers and I was avoiding going to the gym which I hate with a passion!! 2 years on and...

    Unfit, overweight, bad knees, no hair but own teeth!

    Hi, I have had 6 knee operations over the years - all cartiledges, crutiates and a severed quads tendon, so not great knees!!!! I too was well overweight and on blood pressure pills - I was 60 yo. Any damp cold day, I took a half hour or so for my knees to get going. My surgeon recommended I get...

    So I bought one...

    The main biking world would not tolerate Bosch if their motors lacked power. That they are used by the majority of quality pedelec said is ample proof of my comments. I accept you aren't a dealer, but your statement is still rubbish in my opinion, which, I believe, I am perfectly entitled to have.

    bosch or kallkoff?

    Trex, The bottom of my sDuro Haibike Cross has an isis bracket - it is only some of the Yamahas that have the square one. I put road tyres on the Cross along with mudguards and lights( couldn't get a trekking model!!) and now have 1000Kms in 2 months -- Absolutely brilliant bike in the hills of...

    Which is the best Bosch/Yamaha/Shimano

    I have an sDuro Haibike with the Yamaha mid-motor. I have previously owned a Kalkhoff Impulse Ergo. The Haibike has way more "grunt" or torque up hills and I find I rarely stray from Eco power which is at least similar to sport on the Kalkhoff. I tested bikes with both Bosch and Yamaha as well...

    I have a Haibike sDuro cross which I have changed into a trekking - added pannier rack, mudguards road tyres and lights - waiting time on a trekking was too far at May here in Ireland. Anyway - the bike is fantastic I had a Kalkhoff Impulse Ergo but had a lot of trouble with it, so changed. My...

    Tow bar bike carriers

    I have a westfalia carrier which is really good. It's a ball hitch one which can tilt if you need to open a hatchback. Has attachments which lock so handles just turn freely and will not release the bike. Carries my Haibike and wife's Kalkhoff with ease. Cheers! Robbie

    Preferrably something a little more subtle!!!!!!!

    Yamaha Display

    Anyone know whether the display for the Yamaha centre drive system can be rotated? It looks pretty vulnerable the way it protrudes on the Haibike trekking in photos. - would be great if it could be rotated 90Deg. Robbie

    Panniers !! (The Best?)

    I have a set of Willex panniers - totally waterproof (even in Irish downpours!!) and able to carry a real load. I'd recommend them. Robbie

    Haibike Bosch or Yamaha

    Eddie, Most of the reason is that there are very few dealers here in Ireland and the dealer I have confidence in deals in BH, Kalkhoff, Staiger Sinus, Momentum and Haibike. Whereas there is a place selling KTM, they know little and one guy's purchase experience left a lot to be desired. I ride...

    Haibike Bosch or Yamaha

    I usually ride about 25 - 30 miles so there should be enough in either the Bosch or Yamaha battery. I was wondering if the Bosch powered bike has any really significant better components - I am not competent to judge!! I have ridden the cross with Yamaha power and the hard nine with Bosch power...
