Ok Guys, So here it is, the 3 models we are focusing on and that will be coming into the UK are as follows. Haibike eQ Xduro FS All Mountain 26" -Haibike Product Spec Page -...

Thanks Dave! I can confirm we will be there. Got the Raleigh's lets hope the Haibike's turn up in time! :) Martin

Thanks Guys! I'm in the process of sorting it now. I can also confirm the 3 models we will be bringing in from the range! Martin

I think obviously the big worry does come down to warranty, and therefore a UK distributor and good dealer support is going to help this. I know that some people have bought these bikes direct from Germany but in the event of a problem, I personally wouldn't want to fuss about trying to talk...

Haha I'm sure with a good bit on 'engineering' this could be arranged :) So back on topic, the overall impression I'm getting is that the Haibike's are a good brand to bring to the UK? But the appropriate dealer support/back-up of spares is key.. Martin

Thanks Blew it, I will get one of these kits apart and see exactly what's in there, I will probably try and bring some or similar kits over here for users to buy in the UK. Once I have fitted it and tested the kit, I will stick up a full 'how-to' in English on here for DIY guys. And of...

We have spare Panasonic 26v 8aH batteries going cheap here for you to sabotage ;) Got a couple left brand new. Martin

Hello Hugh, Brilliant, I have also contacted the manufacturer regarding these. Please let me know how you get on, the installation looks really simple. Obviously there are the installation instructions on the page of that product. But the most useful picture regarding getting the wires round...

Hi barrycoll, Doh! Shame but we have only just started looking at the range. Happy 72nd Birthday anyway! :) Maybe we could help on your next purchase! No but we are a lot more local than Austria! ;) We are hoping to bring the Haibike's up for people to try in London early April next year...

Interestingly after a bit more research, It seems there is a small piece of electronics housed into that little headphone jack! This means it might not be as simple as 2 wires, never the less I will still be testing this, as it means the Bosch unit can be running at 50kph (off road of course!)...

This is interesting, From the pictures It just looks like the case of connecting/earthing/disconnecting 2 wires, and the headphone jack/dongle is a quick and easy way of applying the mod. Will have to research this further. Would be nice to work out a cheaper alternative too that maybe...

Eddie- Spot on for finding that Aladdin's Cave! :) I think learning the German language is going to provide useful over the coming years. Google translate is not all that great.. Hugh - You've got me thinking now! This looks like a good little gadget ;) Martin

Hello guys, Thanks for your comment Eddie. Ok sorry if I upset any of you guys. I mean no harm. Whilst I am technically a 'seller' as I own 2 bike shops. I joined the forum with the intention to ask opinions and views to certain products, and maybe if I could also help some users out with...

Hello halfer - Thanks for your reply, glad you like the range. As do I agree that there needs to be good support for these bikes if its going to work in the UK. Hopefully we can achieve this, we are hoping to stock in a good amount of spares, that along with a good knowledge of the bikes...

Hello Hugh, Hopefully this lock-ring is a part we could stock direct from Bosch in the new year. In the meantime, the part you are after is called a spider lock ring, these look almost identical to some of the spider lock-rings we have used in the past used on some middleburn/shimano...

Sorry for any confusion, I read this as a circlip but I now see its a lockring and tool you are after. Could you take a picture of the lockring on the bike? I may be able to help you find the appropriate tool? Regards Martin

Where are you based? Reagrds Martin

Hugh - That's interesting, thanks for your input. I am a true believer in the German stuff to, really makes a difference. Hopefully we will be able to offer you support for the future. And good idea with the seat post mounted rack, should do the job! Still would be interesting to know how well...

Hi Hugh, Wow, that was a nice read, sounds like your getting on great with the Haibike so far so good! What a great write up, thanks! You should see substantial benefits of changing the 42T ring, Good shout. Let us know how it affects things. As for the lockring, Im sure any decent...

Cakey and Eddie - The 2013 Haibikes are all running the 250w Bosch system, obviously if they were to be imported properly into the UK then they should meet the legal requirements (250w) to be used on public roads. This is not to say this cannot be modified to suit your needs. Personally I...
