I tested yesterday Haibikes Sduro Trekking (Yamaha motor), Sduro Fullnine RC (Yamaha) and Xduro 27,5 Allmtn (Bosch). Trekking model is awesome road e-bike, the best I have tested and I was thinking to buy one immediately after test session. But..but..but.....the seller suggested me to take one round in snowy forest and paths with Fullnine RC and I must say that I felt 40 years younger when I came back.:DThe only question left was the size of the bike. Next week it's possible to take a look at 45 and 50 size Fullnine RX (red) and it seems to me that 45 is my size. Trekking model is absolutely all I really need but Fullnine is so FUN and it's agility and ability to move forward in snow and soft forest surprised me totally. Apparently nobody knows how Yamaha motor works in long run but I'm ready to take that kind of risk because I have had many Yamaha products in the past and no problems at all.

Both bikes are interesting but because it's not possible to test them right now, I'm asking honest opinions from you all. If somebody has tested or used them, I'd like to hear how Yamaha motor works and feels and where is it possible to buy spare parts for Yamaha. One question is the size. Im only 173 cm and have the feeling that 29'er might be too big for me. Is it possible at all to have 29" wheels size and make the frame small enough for my size?

Absolutely this makes sense. Next thing is to find more information about mid drive kits.

Good questions.To be honest, I'm still trying to find good reasons for changing my ebike. It's the same kind of dilemma as with the car. When you have made up your mind, it's only question of time to find many very good reasons to buy a new one.:-) The battery is 9 Ah/36V frog type and the range is from 60 km to 100 km depending on how much assistance is used. My plan for next step is to get a very good hybrid/trekking (Haibike Sduro Trekking RC? - opinions ? ) ebike for every day use and then some day to buy maybe a good quality used full suspension normal mountain bike with 26" wheels to be converted as center motor eMTB. They can possibly use the same battery pack. Maybe next winter project. Flat or hilly? Both - in certain limits. Full suspension to forest paths and hills and Haibike for commuting.

Pedelec power limit is 250 W and the assisted speed limit is 25 km/h. It is possible to have more than 250 W but it's not a pedelec anymore and it needs insurance and registration etc... then it's something else (moped ?).

1000 W is a dream only :-), 250 W is our reality in EU.

I and my wife have now had pedelecs for four years and I have never spend 2,5 k€ better way. They have payed themselves almost twice and I don't now any funnier way to to move from one place to another. Now it's time to upgrade and this community seems to be one of the best places to find useful information for my upgrade project. Now its winter and snow here but it's a good opportunity to find out what kind of pedelecs to purchase next. This is what it looks like here now: Best regards, Tinu1234
