Haibike Trekking eBikes finally come to the UK for 2014!..

[Martin@e-bikeshop]

Hi Guys,

German manufacturer Haibike have been dominating the UK market with their electric mountain bikes. However we are pleased to announce today that we (The UK's largest Haibike eBike dealer) will be selling the brands Trekking models on UK shores for 2014. This is very exciting as I have had so many people asking for the trekking models but up until now have not been able to source them. Read more here..

The models we will be bringing in are the Haibike xDuro Trekking SL 2014. Available in both a Gents and a Ladies style frame.

Haibike xDuro Trekking SL Gents 2014 Specification here.

Price £2499.99

Haibike xDuro Trekking SL Ladies 2014 Specification here.

Price £2499.99

Both models are fully equipped with all the essentials - mudguards, lighting system, puncture resistant tyres, pannier racks, prop stands, comfy saddles and an in-built pump.

We are set to receive these models shortly (Mid December). As always its suggested to contact me for pre-orders to get a deposit down to secure one. Otherwise book an appointment to come down and take a look when there in stock (If there's any left!).

I think the demand for these Trekking / Commuter / Hybrid eBikes will be massive. So many people are after a good quality German bike built with the Bosch inverted motor. Finally we can supply!

Any Questions please ask..

Regards
Martin

They look very nice Martin, but the price doesnt seem to be very competitive with the KTM offerings, and in this class, the inverted motor is not really a big benefit.

It is with that short front mudguard!

Hi Streethawk,
You have to look at them in the flesh to appreciate. If you look the spec is pretty good but there's more too it than that. Just for example here are the welds on the Haibike -

Here is a picture of the same motor integrated on a KTM that I saw at the NEC-


Its easy to get carried away with specification on paper, but if the bike is 'shoddy' as a whole then its not justified.

Like most Haibikes, the trekking ones look a bit expensive.

My Rose is a very similar spec and cost £2,500, but that includes an Alfine 11 hub gear.

Seems to me prices are, if anything, a bit lower this year for high-spec ebikes, so the Haibike trekking would look fairer value at £2,000 or just over.

I like the way that they have kept the battery and motor a different colour. It kind of helps to draw your eye away from it being a pedelec, and keeps the outline clean and tidy.

Why do they introduce an interesting new bike when I have something on order? I'm not made of money.

Because they are less interested in customers than in potential customers.

Got a feeling you've picked a better option ... and surely it's a bit lo-brow for you being at the lower end of the range ?

Those shoddy KTMs eh ? Honestly ...

 

[Electrifying Cycles]

Although in fairness it was a pre-production model so not up to the same standards as the fully finished product

Also worth noting these have the classic motor not active or performance line which is on most 2014 bikes. Would recommend trying new active and performance line motors they really are amazing. Although classic line which featured on 2013 bikes will continue to be produced on some bikes.

However even though we do not sell them I am happy to admit they look like nice bikes

I can confirm that the Step through KTM Dual we took receipt of this week has welding every bit as good as the Haibike, and is very competetive price for such a well spec bike.

 

[Electrifying Cycles]

Have to agree Martin our 2014 KTMs look great. There is so much choice available now at the premium end of the market. Nice situation for the customer who can try them all out

Hi Martin, can you get some pictures of the KTM Macina Dual you have, we haven't had one come though our office and we'd love to have a closed look at the set up.

I will try to get down to visit you guys before Christmas if that's ok, to say hi and drop off some more brochures.

Cheers
Col

 

[martin@onbike]

Yeah, it'd be great to see you Col...let us know when and we'll get the cakes in!

Managed to take a few pics on my phone today, which are a tad rubbish to be honest.

Don't think that Petra the dog shares my enthusiasm of E bikes unfortunately...

 

[jackhandy]

Does that bike come with the head riser as standard, or have you fitted to suit a customer?

 

[martin@onbike]

Hi Jackhandy, the stem riser came as a standard fitting, nothing has been altered on this bike.
