One word Nick, jealous! :) Ill be getting my hoody soon for supplying the bike ;) Every time the postman comes I get excited, but so far to no avail!.. Happy e-biking. Martin

Ian, not good!! :( Glad the battery is ok they are tough little ******s. It's such a satisfying 'click' when it clicks into place too! Martin

Garry, No Chinese crap snobbery here, in fact I have CST's on the shelf for sale as an after market tyre, also have about 20 or so bikes on the shelf coming as standard with them. Just giving an honest opinion ;) Martin

Yes get Slime tubes, with these tubes combined with Schwalbe Puncture resistant tyres.. If you were unlucky enough to get a puncture.. Some one is against you! Slime tubes are great they seal up to 3mm, which is a considerable big hole! The only thing they struggle with is rips and glass...

Artstu, +1 If I had a pound for every time I heard this I would have enough capital to invest in the research needed to create the regenerative system to address the problem ;) We did test this some time back and with current technology the resistance and weight gained on the bike was...

No Worries Jim, good luck in your ebike quest.. I could go on to talk about 12,14,16,20,24,26,27,28,29'er, 650b, 700c etc wheel sizes.. Let alone metric and imperial widths.. But ill stop now. Its a confusing world out there for the consumer! :) Martin

Jim, Your old bike is 700c (28" in size relating terms) therefore your old wheels are bigger than the new bike you are looking at. 28" is more biased toward road riding as the wheel will literally cover more distance than 26" when rolled in a complete revolution. 26" is more steered towards...

You wont relate exactly 26 inches to much size wise on the wheel or the tyre. Its mainly just an easy way of separating wheel sizes for the consumer. In fact the rim will measure roughly 22" :/ You might just about get 26" measuring the furthest point on the tyre edge to edge. All you need to...

Hi Taff, CST is a far east manufacturer of tyres, they come standard on many bikes these days, CST also make tyres for other manufacturers (look for Chen Shing Tyres (CST) on the side) From my experience they are a basic tyre, they do offer the Puncture Resistant Kevlar ones but they are...

Hi Hugh, Sun is here at last, what's all this talk of 'Sunny, breezy, flowers flowering, trees' while I am stuck at work everyday? Just trying to make me jealous I suppose ;) Glad the Haibike is treating you well.. I have a day off booked in 3 weeks, lets hope its a nice day so I can enjoy...

Does come down to many factors like bike value, post code etc. Maybe not for you then. Obviously this does cover the bike anywhere it is stolen. Some house contents cover do, some don't. Obviously worth checking the excess costs of you home insurance.. Maybe not for you then, we have had many...

Best to check your contents cover to see if the ebike is covered if stolen outside of the home i.e locked up at work. Different insurers have different terms, best to check. If your bum is always on the saddle when you are out and about then your contents cover is fine. Bear in mind that...

Hi Guys, Some of you may have read Nick's article on the pedelec home page, regarding how an electric bike managed to hold out his favourite hobby - mountain biking. Just 2 weeks after heart surgery he was out hitting the trails on his new Haibike! Well I had an email from him on Monday as...

10.30am Time slot is now full and therefore closed. I will adjustt he website tomorrow so no one can register for the 10:30 slot. One place left in the 1PM slot and a couple at 3:30. So just a pre-warning that there's only a few spaces left, if you want to go and have not booked then...

Alex, In my opinion the bikes out of the derby cycles factory are very good, they are very reliable IF SET UP PROPERLY BY THE DEALER. Having dealt with bikes from the German manufacturer for many years, they are considerably better than others. A real shame that you have lost faith in 50...

Also to point out they are the only bike to be sold with a Service book. (Logged on a service history database) Therefore all the service history is kept and holding the value of the bike if you choose to sell further down the line. We have seen silly re sale values before sometimes wonder why...

That's why we offer 0% finance to split the payments ;) Martin

Hi Alex, Not a problem. If you look further down the range check out something like the leeds tour or Dover, both suited to riding on the road, commuting etc. Reason I point them out is because the both fall further down the price range with out all the fancy gadgets the Haibikes incorporate...

Hi Alex, Yes like David we also offer a free loan bike in the event of a problem. Are you still joining us on the 'Big Off Road Trail'? I know you were interested but haven't seen the registration through on the website? I know you are not after a off road machine but it will give you a good...

If Haibike had not sold through most models I would say I would special order one for you. That said we have done a couple of RC29's (Same wheel size) where we have fitted guards and a rack. As the RC 29 comes as standard with mudguard and eyelet fittings on the frame. The Geometry...
