I have Big Bens on my xduro Hardseven and that is indeed the size I fitted (27.5 x 2")

Sound wave, Sorry to go off topic, but what work stand is that in your pic? Does it cope with the weight of the bike ok? I've been thinking of putting one on my Christmas prezzie list from the missus and saw this one which looks very similar...

Hmmm....That's a very brief description! (maybe for fear of arousing suspicion?) I wonder if they've got the charger and battery key! (and indeed, the original receipt) Do hope the OP sees this as I reckon you may be on to something..

Have you considered Haibike? They do a junior sized bike which may be suitable (admittedly it's a hard tail but maybe fit a suspension seatpost?)...

Nope. He's been involved with e-bikes for several years and reckons should last several hundred if not thousands of miles with regular cleaning and maintenance. My Bosch CX powered Haibike had only done 40 miles! (He had a Cube in for service with the same Bosch system and that was still on its...

I don't know how close you are to Plymouth, but I can highly recommend Devon Electric Bikes http://devonelectricbikes.co.uk/ebikes/ They've got a good range and Gareth the proprietor is not at all pushy when it comes to a sale. He will allow you to take out several bikes for test rides to see...

When I was test riding bikes I chose different style bikes with different systems to see how they compared. One of those was the Raleigh Strada road bike which uses the Shimano STEPS system incorporating a crank drive motor and 8 speed hub with automatic electronic shifting (you can manually...

Hmm..I'd have to say a wheel locking up is never good when braking on the road! I too rode motorbikes for years in my younger days and braking technique was to always lightly apply the rear brake a fraction before applying the front brake firmly. On a motorbike the front brakes are much more...

How do you find the grip on the road - especially under braking compared to your original tyres? I have very recently bought an XDURO Hardseven. I love it but I do find the rear wheel locks up very easily under heavy braking on tarmac - which I find a little disconcerting. My tyres are Racing...

Hi, Where is the frame number located on a Haibike Hardseven? I presume I would need it to get insurance cover. The only numbers I can find are underneath the battery on the frame's battery housing but I'm not sure if these are Haibike or Bosch serial numbers? Thanks, Andy.

Finally picked up the bike at the weekend and thought I'd go out for a quick short ride to ease my stiff old body back into cycling and riding in traffic again. What a laugh!! Some 20 minute ride! I didn't return home until 1 1/2 hours and nearly 20 miles later!! I found myself cycling around...

I understand what you are saying (the £600 discount merely brought the bike into the same price bracket as other similar specced bikes (such as the KTM Macina Force 27 10 Cx4, for example.) However, I think the bigger picture has to be regarded when considering an e-bike purchase: There are...

You can indeed. I Picked up my brand new Haibike XDuro Hardseven RC today from my local dealer (2016 model) and got a hefty £600 discount off the £2600 RRP (which, obviously, I was very happy with) Regards, Andy.

Mine arrived yesterday (thanks for the heads up d8veh.) Just one question as there was no paperwork with the light: When charging, will the led on the charger turn from red to green when the battery pack is fully charged? Regards, Andy.

Thanks for all the replies. I've made my decision. It'll be no surprise that I have gone for the XDURO with the Bosch CX motor. On the original road test, I thought the SDURO Yamaha had felt slightly more powerful than the XDURO Bosch. What I hadn't realised, however, is that the XDURO I had...

I'm in a bit of a dilemma. Having decided that the Cyclamatic power plus my dad lent me simply isn't going to cut it as my choice of ebike, I've been doing a lot more research into other options and have test ridden several bikes over the last few days - including hybrids and mtb's with either...

I'm guessing this is it? https://electricbikereview.com/rad-power-bikes/radmini/ Andy.

Cheers, Mark. Looks like that could well do the job. Similar dimensions and the mounting holes look the same. Anyway, at under £6.50 it's definitely worth a punt and as it seems to be the last one, I've gone and ordered it. Thanks again, Andy.

Hello everybody, Joined a few weeks ago to gen up on ebikes etc. as I want to get fitter and lose some weight. I suffer from chronic lower back pain so have to be careful as to what type of exercise is suitable. I'm thinking of taking up cycling again but am put off using a standard bike as...
