It is a £3800 ebike that the shop has not set up properly.
After 6 months fine with DIY, but it is brand new and they have been given a story and hope that the self healing nanobots are about to start working.
You are right expecting the bike to be perfect, it should be.
The bike should just put a smile on your face.
Gears, brakes and chain, all should be set up, not need a bit or wearing in !!
Like me you need an expert to get these right for you. You will love the bike once it's right.
You...
Forgot to say I am a very happy Haibike sDuro owner.
But your bike is a lot more expensive than mine.
Oh and if no luck, give the dealer a shout out on here.
Get back to the shop and get it all fixed.
I start mine in High, Standard or what ever. Over 1100 miles not a problem.
Your bike is brand new, take it back and scream until you get it fixed.
The brake thing DO NOT ACCEPT for a start.
It is brand new, the dealer sounds like a dodgy second...
You can't go wrong buying an ebike from one of the regular contributors to this site, AMPS, Woosh, KTM etc as they are on here to add to their exposure in a positive way.
I don't think you can go wrong with your choice.
There are sooooo many ebikes just like cars, if you find one you like...
It was actually Trex's fat bike produced for you.
Oh! Now I have started crying again, just when I thought I was over him (or her) it's at times like the bank holidays I miss him ( or her ) so.
Still a nice bike at a good price.
I can just lift mine over a gate so mounting it on the roof would be daunting.
VW Transporter or Navara Pick up.
I know its an expensive option but.....
I have a set.
A surprisingly good tyre, very tough, hard wearing and fast on the road. Near puncture proof and quite a mud plugger.
They are narrow though for my 29, only 2.1"
That's a good price. You won't be disappointed for an all-rounder.
What is the Levo like to ride as it has a very different geometry to your bike.
The lines from the rear wheel seem very different to the KTM which looks similar to the Haibike ?
Second hand value !
See the lovely Bosch All Mountain on the right, Chris and I were chatting with the owner on Sunday.
100 miles on the clock and the original receipt from the shop, he paid £2,600.
We both tried the bike and it's brand new.
Obviously the Hard Nine with custom sex rims and...
£500 increase on 3 grand in four years !!!
If you think that is acceptable you are not living and working in the same world as me.
Ripoff is the word that comes to mind.
Now I am hearing the word "Frittering".
I ended up about 4 foot below the trail with the bike on top of me and I didn't know what to do as it hurt so much.
Luckily Lin came by to lift the bike off but still it was like being in an orgy, every time I moved I encountered a new prick.
I can laugh now but sleeping tonight will be a...
