It's a 10 buy it.

Unless you listen to everyone that hates Haibike and tells you to buy something else because of this that or the other.

As Benny Hill used to say "You always get Knockers, if you are lucky".

So you rate them

Andy

 

[IR772]

Yes I do.

You need to ride one to be sure you like it.

Looking at a Scott 29r
Or the Hiebike

Do the bikes vary so much

It's a nice bike, but look for issues with the motor. I wouldn't buy that one only for that reason.

Its got the CX motor. Can't remember anyone having major issues with that one.

It's an intuva variant isn't it?

Intuvia is just the display. Some people don't like the Nyon display. Few people report Intuvia display problems.

Sorry my mistook. It's the impulse motors that are dodgy,
I withdraw my comment completely.
It should read ,it's a nice bike,

Given the comment by IR772, I'll save my opinion and comments for pm to you when I get back in the country in a few days times.

But in the mean time, what is your intended use for the bike?

Secondly, if you compare the bike that eBike shop are selling to that of the one that Electric Transport Shop are selling, the first has a 500wh battery and the second only a 400wh battery. Whatever you decide upon, watch out for details such as that.

Nice spot there Eddie on the battery, and Andy when you spend this kind of money it's best to go and try a few out.
If you don't want the bike just yet it may be best to hang on for a bit and see what bikes will be about for next year.
Looks like shimano will have there new step motor on some bikes for next year.
Merida have this out for next year and only 19kg, not sure on the price.

Have a look at the equivalent in the Cube range because they are good value for money and always get good reviews.

Doesn't have to be full suspension
A hard tail would be fine
