Hello.
Today i took a 12 mile trip down to Kent bikes based in Maidstone, Kent to have a look at a few bikes & chat to the owner.
I must say i thought it would be a huge warehouse full of bikes in racks but it's not, it's a small shop where you place your order & then the bike arrives a few days later but i wasn't disappointed as the owner seems a nice chap & was happy to chat bikes at some length which was nice. I sat on the Haibike in the picture below & had a good look at it i can now see why these premium leccy bikes command big money, i still think they're a bit overpriced but hey-ho you gets what you paid for, this bike is the Mercedes of the bike world & it shows. No time for a test ride today but i'll be back to try out one or two, i've got a 29 inch inside leg, 30 inch waist & weigh 11.5 stone wet, i'd be like a jockey on a racehorse. Yup i need a smaller framed bike.
I do like the Haibikes, they look superbly built & look aesthetically beautiful & are a work of art, so light & precise looking & oozes build quality with a low frame making it easy to climb aboard - I want one & will probably sell one of my m/cycles to pay for it. I loved the control panel all the info you'll ever need is there at the press of a button, i also liked the really tough looking gold standard locks that were on display the only way you'll get through them is with a power tool.
I've been looking at utube & doing a bit of research wondering whether to go for a Yamaha or Bosch motor - i'm still undecided it's six of one & half dozen of the other but i'm leaning toward the Yamaha.
New 2017 stock is arriving in January & the chap has got my email & number & will get in touch as soon as they arrive around the 17th
