April 30, 201411 yr For me, it's not about speed more about access to places other powered two wheelers can't go. Cheating? I'm not competing!, I can relate to that one, and think about it pretty much each time that I use local my bridleways and byway's. The relative silence of the bike is also a bonus.
April 30, 201411 yr I have a 288wh frame mounted battery on special offer at £280. Only got a few left. It will fit any Bosch bike except those with the new motor/battery found on some 2014 bikes (i.e. active or performance line systems). Where can these be purchased from? I've got a 2014 SL29 Haibike so not sure if it will for this one?
April 30, 201411 yr I totally agree. The reason I've built e-MTB and now purchased a new Haibike is having been stopped from riding many green roads on my motorcycle. We've lost rupps and many BOATs to the NIMBYs. For me, it's not about speed more about access to places other powered two wheelers can't go. Cheating? I'm not competing!, So with you here. As a middle aged & totally legal Husky owner who used to do the green lanes I would get fed up with the 'bobble hats' waving their sticks & shouting at us as if they owned the Byways. On a motorbike there seems to be a presumption by some elements of society that you are doing something wrong by riding on what are actually legally classed as roads. Fast forward to an eBike & you can go virtually anywhere without those same people getting upset, in fact the opposite is true, it's often a cheery wave & a smile now.
May 1, 201411 yr Where can these be purchased from? I've got a 2014 SL29 Haibike so not sure if it will for this one? We have got some, so you can call us to order. Just looked and although you have a 2014 bike it has the classic motor (you can tell this because the motor is underslung and the active or performance motors are not). You can see pictures of the motor below however most websites selling your bike would list the motor/electric system type. http://www.bosch-ebike.de/en/home/home.html

Their Battery is specified as GD-BOS-E36A. So the older batteries don't work in a 2014 Haibike with the upside down motor? Curses! Don't fancy paying out (even more) silly amounts of money ...

August 17, 201411 yr As I see it the problem with battery management is knowing accurately how much energy is actually being used. I treat mine like I would a car so going up hill in a lower gear slowly uses less fuel than staying in a high gear and going faster. A hear rate monitor shows me how much energy I am using so I assume the bike is mirroring me. I have acheived 60 miles on 3 occasions and recently 37 miles with a 3000 ft climb with battery to spare. Forgot to add.. Bike is similar to O. P. Mtb/Bosch . 29er, 400 watt battery. Edited August 17, 201411 yr by Gubbins
January 23, 201511 yr Sorry to Necro post but I came across this video: I was under the impression that Bosch had "fixed" this hack?
January 31, 201511 yr Looks like I will need a larger front sprocket on my 2015 haibike sduro SL hardtail with the badass dongle now fitted. Makes a huge difference on the yamaha engine usually only use in the MEDIUM setting and HIGH only for hills

Makes a huge difference on the yamaha engine usually only use in the MEDIUM setting and HIGH only for hills hi martinb, can I ask what kind of speeds you are getting? as I have the same bike and set up as you
February 2, 201511 yr It's easy to cruise at about 18/20mph even in the Med setting and gives a 35+ mile range just using the high for the occasional hill work. Never gone to the battery limit as yet, sill a couple of bars left on the battery indicator. But I use mine mostly off road hence the dongle is just for fun. Don't get me wrong your still putting effort in. If yours is the same model then you will know it's geared more as a mountain bike and hence the need for a higher front ring. I'm happy with mine as it is though if it were for more road work then I would definatly go with a larger front ring gear. Sure Martin at e-bikeshop can supply one, I'm tempted to get one to see what the difference is like. There are many more here with much more experience that can wisely inform you as to range/gearing and optimum engine rpm
February 8, 201511 yr Martin- is the gearing same or different comparing the sDuro hard tails and the sDuro trekking?
February 8, 201511 yr I honestly don't know. A quick call to any Haibike drlaer should answer your question
