Hello 
Whilst browsing Amazon i spotted a few Haibikes for sale but the price/s seem incredibly low:
Sduro Hardseven SL £467
Xduro Fullseven RC £839
Seems cheap, is it legit or a con, am i missing something?
On another note: I've had my Woosh Sirocco 2 now for a month & i love it. I had reservations about electric bikes - Are they reliable? Would the battery slowly drain down reducing performance or leaving oneself stranded? No, i think they've cracked the electric bike & things are only going to get better.
I now want a better bike, nothing wrong with the Woosh but i want to upgrade & i fancy a bike from the Haibike range, i like the look of them, the styling & the general overall appearance & finish is impressive & i really like the idea of a crank driven motor that can be boosted for off-road use. Looks like there's lots of back-up & spares available & i like Bosch & Yamaha products, most of 'em anyway.
Since i got the leccy bike a bit of a revolution has started amongst friends & there's been a lot of interest in my bike, i've let a few test ride the baby & a neighbour joined me for a ride out on his bike - A pushbike fitted with an 80cc two-stroke engine bought from fleabay. It works quite well & took him an afternoon to fit but it leaves a trail of blue smoke & isn't as practical as my leccy bike & most likely costs more to run in petrol & 2-T oil & the cheap £80 engine won't last too long either, its quite good fun though.
I've been here, there & everywhere on the Woosh & it's taken some punishment believe me but nothing has broken, it's a tough bike for sure. I like riding off-road paths & trails & head off in any direction i fancy, through the woods, round the lakes, round the edges of fields, i'm liking it a lot & now use the 2nd level of assistance & occasional use of the throttle. Not bad eh, my self help training program is coming along nicely, i did 22 miles in one day & 96 in one week. Since ownership i've discovered you can go almost anywhere on a bike just like a pedestrian & i thought a motorcycle meant freedom to roam, a bike is even better. I'm like a kid again tearing around the woods through puddles & slush & its so easy to clean afterwards
It's been nippy outside lately, so i wear some of my motorcycle gear whilst out on the Pedelec, thermal underlayer, biking gloves, neck tube, decent socks & my ankle length summer use biking boots & a bobble hat minus the bobble. It all works very well & i can keep warm, my hands are the first thing to get cold, shame we can't have heated grips on our leccy bikes, of course we can't so i was thinking of some battery powered heated gloves. I don't like it too cold, as a general rule i think motorcycling below 8 degrees C becomes uncomfy especially on longer journeys but i'll ride the leccy bike whatever the weather. I'm looking forward to Spring when things warm up a bit & i can stay out longer without getting frostbite
