You would have to be off your head to buy that
Even if I had the cash spare I wouldn’t buy it as it has so many design faults for an off road bike

well there not as bad as this lol

it has the same tq motor and been out since 2016. top speed 45mph so it will eat the batt as like bosch the power mode is set buy software via the speed limit so you dongle the haibike to remove it you wont get much more than 20 miles on 1 charge esp if ur fat.

That’s nasty

So their cheapest offering is £4399. No wonder they want to see so called anti dumping tariffs applied. More like a 'Please help us we can't make a bike at a price the market can stand' tariff.
Not only that, I think they're plug ugly, purely personal but, there's something about a bent top tube that just doesn't look right. Plus you'd be tied into OEM parts only (battery, motor etc.), and we've seen how that can be milked.
I'll stick to my 'unreliable' Chinese kit thanks, it's only done 6K miles so far!

I must admit Im not convinced on the battery hole location. That is the dirtiest wettest place on a mountain bike. I wonder if the motor will suffer water ingress like the Bosch due to no proper oil seals like petrol engines have had for years. For expensive bikes it seams little thought goes in to longevity and reliability.
