    Genuine company from Germany ?

    Budsy - my Haibike was delivered very quickly - less than a week and they were very good at communication etc. Didn't go through with the returns process in the end but they did arrange return pick up within the week too. Don't know what the outcome would have been therefore cannot judge...

    Hello From The Hills of the North Weald!

    Hi Samcycles Thanks for replying! I bought this https://www.bikester.co.uk/haibike-sduro-hardseven-80-blackkingstonred-1078856.html and the build quality seems very solid - considerably better than my first ebike which now r.i.pieces after 3.5 kms over 4 months (!). I think I'm firmly with you...

    Hello From The Hills of the North Weald!

    It's a good thought Benjahmin but some of the hills I'm riding are 20 per cent incline and take huge effort on my part as only just regaining my fitness - truly wish I'd joined this forum earlier so I could have tested your theory. Thank s for taking the time to reply

    Hello From The Hills of the North Weald!

However, one of the issues is that the motor fades away in some of the higher gears (not because I stop pedalling) and...

    Genuine company from Germany ?

    O bless you nigelbb - s*ds law just out of the 14 days but if Bikester aren't just a front - they say they take returns up to 28 days, Hadn't heard of a chargeback - thanks :) In truth it's exceptionally rare I ever return anything - maybe 5 times in 1k plus various transactions.

    Hello From The Hills of the North Weald!

    It's just so uncomfortable to ride PP100 - it's supposed to be a MTB hybrid tourer. The build quality is so superior to the one I had before https://ebikes-lanarkshire.com/product/sr20a-black-folding-fat-tyre-electric-bike but all the joy is gone and the centre of balance is wrong for me and...

    Genuine company from Germany ?

    O dear... Just joined the forums and having just bought a bike from Bikester..... read all the posts regarding them, and had a quiet little weep. I had some inheritance money and having worn my first ebike ragged thought I'd get something better (the old bike was literally falling to pieces...

    Hi there Discovered the joys of electric just before lock down. 3k miles now & have worn the first bike out! Just bought a Haibike (with inheritance money :() which I really, really dislike and has sucked the joy out of my free-wheeling ways. Hoping to learn from the Forums here!
