For the very first time Lapierre Overvolt eBikes will be hitting the UK shores in an exclusive deal with e-bikeshop. Lapierre has been at the forefront of the cycling industry for some time now. They have been creating beautiful machines for over 60 years, succeeding in each genre of cycling. The French manufacturer prides itself in quality and design and the heart of their production is still where it all started – Dijon, France. The step into the eBike market was an obvious one for Lapierre who have always been known to be ahead of the game; they could use all their design and innovation skills already achieved in the biking world and add this to the latest technology from Bosch, this has to be a winner!After a considerable time in development the all new Lapierre Overvolt was born. With the design input from their very own Nico Vouilloz (10 times MTB world champion) the Overvolt is equipped with the latest MTB components. When you combine this with the new Bosch Performance crank drive motors a new breed of eMTB’s is here. Your everyday mountain biker can now rider harder, faster and for longer on this powered trail machine.e-bikeshop is the largest independent crank drive specialist in the UK. They specialise in Bosch powered eBikes in many variants of road, hybrid and trekking bikes & in particular the new eMTB’s. With the recent expansion into their new sales & distribution centre, e-bikeshop is now fully equipped with the space to offer a large selection of bikes and brand new specialist Bosch eBike workshop bays to ensure their electric bikes are supported for the long term, not just at the point of sale.Martin Brown, Director of e-bikeshop.co.uk said – “We are very proud to announce that Lapierre eBikes will be coming to the UK for the very first time, this follows from an exclusive deal which has been months in the planning. We are already the largest dealer in the UK for the brands we stock so it’s nice to be able to add Lapierre to our ever expanding portfolio. I have actually been selling Lapierre non-electric bikes in my normal bike shops for years, so I really understand the brand and what it means. The quality is excellent and the design from Nico really shows when putting the bikes through their paces. I think the difference with Lapierre and Nico in particular is that he is an avid MTB’er and he actually ‘gets’ the eBike craze. Rather than ignoring it he has embraced it and has set to work creating some outstanding new bikes. We only sell quality, European, crank drive eBikes. So the Lapierre Overvolt range really does tick all the boxes for us, these are very exciting times indeed.”The new Overvolts are available to order from e-bikeshop.co.uk today, with the first models due to start landing in July.Expect to see updates, reviews, videos & more very shortly so watch this space.Lapierre Overvolt Full Specification & Pictures - Lapierre Overvolt 27.5 FS 2014
We have been working alongside the Raleigh eBike range for some years now and as one of the UK's premier Raleigh electric bike dealers we are very proud to release details of the new Raleigh Motus Low Step & Cross Bar electric bikes that will be landing on our shop floor in June 2014. Raleigh has teamed up with the latest Bosch eBike system to bring a new electric bike that will set a storm brewing in the UK for 2014. The new eBike features good quality, well thought out components and comes with the latest Bosch Active Line crank drive motor all for under £2K! More about the latest generation of Bosch eBike motors can be read on my other blog posts.Back to the Raleigh Motus.. It has been a long time in the making, we first found out about this model over a year ago; however Raleigh did not want to rush the design process. They have waited until every aspect of this new eBike model has been thoroughly thought out before announcing it for sale. What a fantastic job they have done.. It was well worth the wait! Who is this new Raleigh eBike for? This new model is aimed at the largest sector of the UK electric bike market, created for those looking for an everyday commuting / trekking / touring / hybrid bike built for comfort and long distances in the saddle.It is designed as an all-round bike which means it’s great for use on the road / country lanes. You can also take this electric bike across light off road, made up bridleways and cycle paths etc. First Impressions.. The first prototype entered our workshop last week for us to review. On first impressions the finish is very, very nice. The pictures really don't do it justice. This sleek, elegant electric bike is matte black, all of the components match in together to really show off the overall quality of this eBike.The Raleigh Motus will be available in 2 options; both low step and cross bar. Both are sold as unisex bikes, the low step model is sure to be popular for easy positioning and getting on/off the eBike. Whilst the cross bar model is your typical geometry diamond frame shape and built slightly larger for taller riders. The welding is nice; the components fit well to create a solid bike for extended use. All of the cables are internally routed to prevent corrosion and snags; but most importantly really clean up the overall look of the bike. The decals on the eBike are subtle and fit the bike well from frame, forks to battery. Of course the traditional Raleigh heron is found up the front of the eBike and takes pride of place on the head tube. So what do you get?.. The eBikes components are well thought out for the everyday rider and I'm pretty surprised Raleigh have managed to pack it all in on a sub £2K Bosch powered electric bike. As standard you get full length mudguards, a decent side stand, sturdy pannier rack, rear wheel security lock (with keys that match the Bosch battery), comfy gel saddle, adjustable stem, comfort grips, suspension seatpost, chain guard & even front and rear dynamo lights that are self-powered from the front Shimano hub and stay on for a few minutes when you stop at traffic lights etc. The specification features a Suntour suspension fork up front to keep things smooth with lock-out for when you are climbing or wanting to ride with minimal energy loss. The brakes are from German manufacturers Magura, these HS11's are hydraulic rim brakes which not only save weight, but also have a much greater stopping power than cable rim brakes. They are minimal fuss / maintenance and perform well in any condition.The gearing is provided by Sram with a 10 speed drivetrain giving you plenty of smooth reliable gear ratios to ride downhill as well as get back up the other side. The wheels are made up of Shimano hubs and alloy double wall rims, these save weight, will not rust but also give superior strength. Importantly Raleigh has opted to build these wheels onto Shimano hubs using 36 stainless steel spokes. This allows more strength for heavier riders and also can take the extra grunt of riding a modern electric bike in every day use. Gripping these wheels to the road; Raleigh has used Schwalbe Energizer Life tyres. These new German tyres have been specifically manufactured and tested for electric bike use, they offer a sturdier sidewall, and a smart puncture resistant guard is also placed in the lining of the tyre to prevent those annoying nasty’s from getting in. The tyres are also very fast rolling, so you can keep up a good pace without gaining any drag from the road surface. What's the verdict?.. All in all this is a very nice looking, but well performing eBike. The whole bike is responsive but smooth & the new Bosch Electric Bike System & bigger 400Wh power pack works well. You should see a good range from the new 400Wh Bosch battery and the fast rolling wheels. Built to not just be reliable for everyday use but as a long term mode of transport. These models are available for pre-order now; we are expecting the see the first drop of these in June 2014. Please visit our shop on the links below. Here you can see the full specification, pictures, videos etc. Be sure to check out the other posts on our blog here to give more information on the new Bosch eBike system featured on these Raleigh Motus electric bikes.

We have been wanting to expand our ever growing electric bike range here at e-bikeshop. So we have had our eyes peeled over the last 6 months or so for another brand to bring under our roof here in the UK. Thing is our criteria is very high, with the key points being Quality, European Build, Quality Finish, Bosch Drive & Value for money. After looking high and low over lots of brands we stumbled upon the Moustache Electric Bikes. They tick all the boxes and are exactly what we are looking for!.. We met with the French designer from Moustache a week or so ago and were very impressed not just with the quality and finish of the French brand Moustache but also the enthusiasm and passion behind the bikes. This really was shown in the build quality of the bikes with lots of innovative features and practical minimal fuss designs. We had a ride on some of the models and I have to say the quality really showed well in the actual ride. We are already very experienced with the Bosch eBike system here so knew what we were in for in that sense, but its amazing how much a difference a good quality base makes to 2 different eBikes featuring the same motor and similar components. It was really a no brainer for us to have this brand on board, we can use our already established customer service and sales support that we have been providing with our Haibike eBikes and bring this to the Moustache brand also. The nice thing about the whole range is that there is an electric bike for almost every users needs. From Mountain Bikes to Road & Trekking eBikes. The breakdown is as follows >> Moustache Samedi 28 Silver Trekking Gents - Full Specification Moustache Samedi 28 Trekking Silver Open - Full Specification Moustache Samedi 28 Trekking Titanium Gents - Full Specification Moustache Dimanche 28 Titanium Gents - Full Specification Moustache Samedi 279 Silver Hard Tail - Full Specification Moustache Samedi 279 Gold Hard Tail - Full Specification Moustache Samedi 279 Silver Full Suspension- Full Specification Moustache Samedi 279 Titanium Full Suspension- Full Specification Moustache Samedi 279 Gold Full Suspension- Full Specification Most of these eBike start arriving with us in January 2014, we are taking deposits now so do call us to secure one to avoid missing out.

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. In particular the Haibike xDuro Trekking SL 2014 electric bike. We all know that the largest electric bike market in the UK is for trekking bikes. Used for everyday Commuting / Trekking / Touring cycling. Well up until now only the Germans got to buy the popular trekking models from Haibike. By bringing the Trekking eBikes to the UK these will be sure to be a popular choice for someone looking for the high German build quality and finish. Haibike are already known for their unique inverted design to situate the Bosch motor within the frame so its up and out of the way. You can read more about this in my 'What makes Haibike different' post. The model we will be bringing over is the Haibike xDuro Trekking SL 2014 model. Available in both Gents and Ladies formats. The specification and price of both electric bikes will be the same but the ladies version has some alterations to the frame style and geometry to give a shorter top tube for a more relaxed ladies specific position and a lower step through design frame. Both frames are designed to be both lightweight and comfortable over longer rides. They are also fully equipped with mudguards, puncture resistant tyres, pannier racks, lighting systems, comfy saddles, prop stands and even an inbuilt pump. In fact every aspect of the users requirements has been well thought out here by Haibike. They feature German Schwalbe manufacturers puncture resistant tyres. These are the 'Energiser' tyres designed specifically for electric bikes. they offer low rolling resistance and an in-built Kevlar lining to stop those nasty punctures. These Haibike Trekking bikes feature self sufficient lighting systems that run straight from the Shimano dynamo hub. They will actually stay on for a while when the wheels are not rolling so as to stay on at traffic lights etc. So you can be sure to be visible in all conditions. These electric bikes are Bosch Tuning Dongle compatible if you should wish to take away the annoying 15mph speed cut off. (Not for road use obviously). As always these models will be popular and Haibike generally don't have enough to meet the demand the eBikes generate.

The Haibike xDuro FS SL 26" 2014 eBike is in stock now with us @ e-bikeshop. We are the UK's largest Haibike dealer so normally have all the models in stock in various sizes. The FS SL electric bike is a versatile XC / MTB / trail centre eBike. Built with mid travel for lightweight all-round performance. The xDuro Haibike FS SL 26 2014 eBike is a full suspension mountain bike built for all round use. Its built on a 120mm chassis with a 26" wheel. This is the perfect mid level bike for mountain biking at local trail centres and all round use. The FOX Float CTD rear shock uses all of its 120mm travel to take the strain out of your ride. It has a rebound adjuster and 3 levels of lock-out. The FOX shock uses its own style of lockout adjust-ability called CTD (Climb, Trail & Descent). You can set it to fully locked ('Climb' mode) out for the climbing or use on the road. The other extreme is fully unlocked ('Descent' mode) for when your putting the bike through its paces. The best setting for me personally is the 'Trail' position where it remains locked when pedalling but open under impact. This means you can be thrashing the bike about with minimum energy loss but in the event of riding over some bumps it will still give in and take the strain. Both the front and rear suspension are oil dampened which gives a smooth feel when riding. They are both air adjustable too so the rider can easily set the shocks up to their riding style and rider weight. The Rock Shox Recon Silver forks offer 120mm of travel up front. As with the rear shock the front suspension can be locked out too. Meaning minimal energy loss when climbing, this is done remotely front he handle bars so you can lock and un-lock on the fly. If you are riding more harsh terrain and descents I would suggest taking a look at the FS AMT which is the bigger brother to the SL with more travel and a bigger battery pack. This is what one of my customers said after purchasing one - "Haibike have produced an excellent mountain bike that would stand it's ground easily on the trail amongst many "normal" mountain bikes costing significantly more. It rides like a normal bike (a very good one), weight distribution is very good and at no time did the bike feel unsettled. Coming from an 11kg bike to a 21kg bike I had hang ups about how it would ride in the rough. I needn't have bothered as once moving there is little perceivable difference. The suspension is great, the Rockshox Recon performed much better than anticipated and was nice and stiff (I'm a long time Fox fork fan), the Fox CTD rear shock was as you'd expect from Fox and flawless. As for the Bosch system all I can say really is wow. It performed way beyond my expectations and I simply just raise my hat to the Bosch engineers" The xDuro FS SL 2014 features Tektro HDC300 hydraulic disc brakes on larger 180mm rotors so it has ample stopping power. Full Shimano gear system which are Deore grade components for smooth shifting even under load. The rear derailer incorporates the clutch design mechanism for good chain tension and snappy gear changes. The wheels consist of quality Rodi CC double wall alloy rims, built on XLC Pro disc hubs and finished off with DT Swiss premium spokes. Both front and back wheels are through axles which give much stiffer response and less flex than a quick release. The through axles are a lot thicker/stronger and can both be easily removed if you need to take the wheel out. To grip these to the terrain Haibike have opted for 26" Schwalbe Racing Ralph tyres. The Haibike FS SL eBike incorporates the Bosch crank drive eBike system. More of which can be read about Haibike eBike Integration. Haibike is the only manufacturer to invert the motor 180 degrees up out the way so it is built in within the frame work, this means its tucked up out the way. I have written a whole new post about why Haibike are different. The FS SL features the 300Wh power pack from Bosch which gives up to a 90 mile range on Eco mode. Read the bikes full specification and overview / see more pictures/ read customer reviews of the Haibike xDuro FS SL 26 here. These bikes are in stock and ready to be collected in-store or despatched nationwide. All our eBikes benefit from a full set-up prior to delivery / collection. If you collect your electric bike in-store we also offer a free suspension set-up.

The Haibike xDuro FS AMT 26" 2014 eBike is in stock now with us @ e-bikeshop. We are the UK's largest Haibike dealer so normally have all the models in stock in various sizes. The FS AMT electric bike is a tough hitting all mountain / enduro / free ride ebike. Built with larger travel for ultimate comfortability for off road riding. The xDuro Haibike FS AM (All Mountain) 26 2014 eBike is a full suspension mountain bike built to hit rougher terrain. Its a bit of a do-it-all eBike. Its light enough to use on lighter cross country courses. But also sturdy enough to take out to some of the more aggressive tail centres and has the option to lock out the front and rear suspension so that it doesn't struggle with climbing or use on the road. The Rock Shox Monarch rear shock uses all of its 140mm travel to take the strain out of your ride. It has a rebound adjuster and 3 levels of lock-out. You can set it to fully locked out for the climbing or use on the road. The other extreme is fully unlocked for when your putting the bike through its paces. The best setting for me personally is the 'Pedal' position where it remains locked when pedalling but open under impact. This means you can be thrashing the bike about with minimum energy loss but in the event of riding over some bumps it will still give in and take the strain. Both the front and rear suspension are oil dampened which gives a smooth feel when riding. They are both air adjustable too so the rider can easily set the shocks up to their riding style and rider weight. As with the rear shock the front suspension can be locked out too. Meaning minimal energy loss when climbing, this is done remotely front he handle bars so you can lock and un-lock on the fly. The Rock Shox Revelation RL forks are very special indeed, you can toggle between 120mm up to 150mm of travel whilst riding. This is brilliant because it is effectively two sets of forks in one. Meaning if you are sticking to the lighter trails or the road you can drop it to 120mm of travel. As soon as you hit the rougher stuff. One click and its back up to 150mm! This is what one of my customers said after purchasing one - You might recall I bought a Haibike from you last month. First things first: it is a fantastic bike, like riding a cross between an agile mountain bike and a motorised trials bike. I'm just getting to grips with flying uphill almost as fast as downhill. I've tackled everything the Lookout has to offer, and I'm getting out a lot more. My regular cycling partner is already contemplating getting some funds and joining me. Truly a game changer... The xDuro FS AMT 2014 features Magura MT2 hydraulic disc brakes on larger 180mm front and 203mm rear rotors so it has ample stopping power. Full Shimano gear system which are SLX / Deore grade components for smooth shifting even under load. The rear derailier incorporates the clutch design mechanism for good chain tension and snappy gear changes, more on that can be read on my previous blog post here. The wheels consist of quality DT Swiss double wall alloy rims, built on Sram disc hubs and finished off with DT Swiss premium spokes. Both front and back wheels are through axles which give much stiffer response and less flex than a quick release. The through axles are a lot thicker/stronger and can both be easily removed if you need to take the wheel out. To grip these to the terrain Haibike have opted for 26" Schwalbe Fat Albert Evolution tyres. These are top of the range tyres, they are also tubeless compatible should you wish to convert. The Haibike FS All Mountain incorporates the Bosch crank drive eBike system. Haibike is the only manufacturer to invert the motor 180 degrees up out the way so it is built in within the frame work, this means its tucked up out the way. I have written a whole new post about this here. The FS AMT features the 400Wh power pack from Bosch which gives up to a 110 mile range on Eco mode.

The 2014 Haibike xDuro SL 29 is in stock now with us @ e-bikeshop. We are the UK's largest Haibike dealer so normally have all the models in stock in various sizes. The SL29 electric bike is the entry level hard tail mountain bike ideal for light off road but also brilliant as a commuter / trekking / hybrid bike due to its versatility. The xDuro Haibike SL 29 2014 ebike is a good all round Hardtail mountain bike. The bike has a good all round geometry and is agile enough for multi use. Being a hard tail bike it tends to roll quickly on the flat and climb well without soaking up any energy into a rear shock. The Rock Shox XC32 forks are only 100mm travel but are oil dampened and air adjustable so the bike owner can easily adjust the fork to their own weight preference and riding style. They also have a remote lock-out which is really useful when it comes to the road, flatter riding and climbing. Its based on a 29" wheel which tends to roll over terrain a little easier than the smaller 26" wheel. If you are after a more aggressive off-roader I would suggest one of our full suspension models which you can view here (Haibike Full Suspension models). The xDuro 29'er features Tektro HDC300 hydraulic disc brakes on larger 180mm rotors so it has ample stopping power. Full Shimano gear system which are Deore grade components for smooth shifting even under load. The rear derailier incorporates the clutch design mechanism for good chain tension and snappy gear changes, more on that can be read on my previous blog post here.The wheels consist of quality Rodi CC double wall alloy rims, built on Sram disc hubs and finished off with DT Swiss premium spokes. So they are solid enough for all round off road abuse. To grip these to the terrain Haibike have opted for 29" Schwalbe Racing Ralph performance tyres. The Haibike incorporates the Bosch crank drive eBike system. Haibike is the only manufacturer to invert the motor 180 degrees up out the way so it is built in within the frame work, this means its tucked up out the way. I have written a whole new post about this here. The SL29 is the younger brother to the RC 29 and therefore features slightly lower grade components and the smaller 300Wh power pack from Bosch which gives up to a 90 mile range on Eco mode.Read the bikes full specification and overview / see more pictures / read customer reviews of the Haibike SL 29 2014 model by clicking here.These bikes are in stock and ready to be collected in-store or despatched nationwide.

2014 is certainly an exciting year for Haibike in the UK, with the launch of their new xDuro FS RX 650B model eBike. We at e-bike shop, (the biggest selling Haibike dealer in the UK!) can’t wait to get our hands on this full suspension, free ride/cross country/mountain bike – which is coming soon to UK dealer shores and at our Haibike dealership in early Jan 2014. Below is a quick overview / review of the new 2014 Haibike xDuro FS RX 27.5 The all new 2014 Haibike xDuro FS RX 27.5 as a 120mm travel XC style mountain bike is the entry level full suspension eMTB in the new 2014 Haibike eBike line up. Its built around everyday mountain bike use for local trail centres. A smaller travel bike compared to its bigger brothers offers maximum pedal performance with good air suspension adjust-ability. This is actually the lowest price Gen 2 model in the range. At a reachable price point it should bow well with smaller pockets who want to experience the new Bosch 2014 motor on an electric mountain bike. It a bike build with decent German engineering too! The new Haibike xDuro FS RX Gen 2 2014 model has some all new features. The frame geometry is totally re-designed. It features 120mm travel front and rear and benefits from the new 650B / 27.5" wheel size. This new wheel is designed with the benefits of the bigger 29" in wheel in mind, so it rolls fast and flows over bumps easier, but uses the 26" wheel characteristics for good manoeuvrability through tight single track areas. Its perfect for the serious mountain biker from full on all mountain trials to local bike parks. The spec of this bike is top end. You have DT Swiss wheelset, Shimano SLX drive train and, of course, completely newly developed suspension of the Haibike Sprocket Equalizing System (SES). The bike also features a RockShox Reba RL forks with remote lock out and a FOX CTD rear shock. Shimano Deore trail brakes on big uprated rotors supply more than enough stopping power in any condition. Couple this with Haibike's newly developed frame geometry and you have an eBike you can really put through its paces. Its un-stoppable! The new Haibike Gen 2 bikes also feature the latest Bosch Performance crank drive motor, so you can be sure its fitted with the latest kit and set up for optimum performance. Haibike are the only manufacturer to mount the motor with the swing arm pivot bolt in a raised position ensuring the rear end is much shorter than any other eMTB. This ensures a shorter wheelbase for the ultimate control and manoeuvrability off road. They fix the chain line with their new S.E.S (Sprocket Equalizing System). Which raises the chain off the front sprocket up to the same level as the swing arm pivot point so the chain is not affected by the rear end moving up and down over bumps. To find out more about this please read some of our Bosch information articles in our blog. This eBike is 'Bosch Tuning Dongle' compatible. So you can now have no speed limits; creating an un-stoppable machine! With deposits already flowing in for these Gen 2 editions. We will have to keep a close eye on stock levels. With Haibike already currently in limited supply. The demand for even the current machines is incredible! Bosch announced there could be short supply of the new motors. Read the full specification / reviews / pictures of the Haibike xDuro FS RX 2014 model If you would like further information or to place a deposit on the stock arriving please call us on 01252 279 279 (ask for Martin).
Since the new 2014 Bosch eBike Motor design was announced at Eurobike this year. The demand for the new Performance and Active lines has been massive. With electric bikes on the up-rise Bosch announced that their new unit could be caught in production delays. But will this after the new Gen 2 Haibikes we are all so excited about? Bosch explained that they knew production of both the current 'Classic' and the 'Performance' & 'Active' lines would grow. But the Bosch factory (Pictured Left) under estimated the demand that grew after they announced the new system. Bosch eBike Systems Director Sales & Service Claudia Wasko says -The investments in additional capacity and extra production shifts including weekends at Bosch and suppliers proves insufficient to eliminate the bottlenecks. Wasko went on to say-It will take at least till the second quarter of 2014 to resolve the current backlog For model year 2015 Wasko assures additional investments in production capacity to shorten the lead times for the Bosch e-bike systems. For us at e-bikeshop, the big question is - Will this be affecting the supply of the new 2014 Gen 2 models Haibike is supplying with the Performance Bosch Motor? Well speaking to our sources, Haibike have announced production of the Gen 2 models is in full swing. They have been extensively testing and designing the new style frames for some time now. The new Gen 2 models have been totally re-designed with all new features, components, geometry and a whole new line of models. Not just to incorporate the new motor but to overcome the issues with chain line / long wheel base on full suspension models. With this promising image of the first batch of Gen 2 frames released to us just now (Shown left). It proves Haibike is well ahead of the crowd. Its not surprising as Haibike's German factory is literally just down the road from Bosch. Haibike has also been one of Bosch's eBike Systems biggest customer from the start. They are one of the only company's to solely use the Bosch system on their xDuro ebikes. Haibike almost certainly offer the biggest range too. Haibike was one of the first manufacturers to start integrating the new Motor System into their eBikes too so its not surprising that Bosch want to keep Haibike on their side. So can Haibike keep up with the demand too? Well we have had conformation that the first batch of Gen 2 models should be arriving with us at e-bikeshop in early 2014. With January being the expected supply date. You have to remember that every Haibike electric bike is hand built in their factory in Schweinfurt, Germany. (Pictured Right) To conclude, it seems that as usual with Haibike their will be limited numbers available. Although Haibike have ramped up production over the past couple of years. The fact that its such a sought after product keeps the demand high on their niche products. The product is so desirable that its often stock levels that let it down. That said I believe that the people who really want the product always reserve models in pre-orders. We will be looking to close pre-orders on the new Gen 2 models in advance of the January due date. I would therefore strongly suggest anyone who is after a particular model to contact us to get their name down on a ebike with a small deposit. View the new Haibike Electric Bike Range for 2014. It is expected that after the first batch has been and gone; the second batch could be due in the later part of summer 2014. Partly because of the recent delays in the Bosch factory, but also due to the fact that Haibike will be supplying a bigger range under more demand. So anyone who does miss the boat can reserve off the next batch but unfortunately will probably miss most of the summer.

Like the later this model features the new 650b (27.5") wheel size. Its a sturdy build that sits band on the £4K mark so its a little more affordable than the higher models. With 150 mm travel and the Bosch performance motor, the xDuro AMT RX is the younger brother to the AMT PRO. It still features the same frame design and geometry but built with more mid range components. We are already taking deposits on this model & all the Gen 2 models in fact. So if you are interested please give us a call on the number below to discuss the options. These new models are very sought after and only built in limited numbers. Bosch have already announced short supply of their eBike motors. The new Haibike xDuro RX , Gen 2 2014 model has some all new features. the frame geometry is totally re-designed. It features 150mm travel front and rear and benefits from the new 650B / 27.5" wheel size. This new wheel is designed with the benefits of the bigger 29" in wheel in mind, so it rolls fast and flows over bumps easier, but uses the 26" wheel characteristics for good manoeuvrability through tight single track areas. Its perfect for the serious mountain biker from full on all mountain trials to local bike parks. The spec of this bike is mid-top end kit. You have DT Swiss Rims, Shimano SLX/ XT drive train and, of course, completely newly developed suspension of the Haibike Sprocket Equalizing System (SES). The bike also features a Fox's 32 Talas forks with adjustable travel from 120mm to 150mm on the fly and Fox Kashima coated CTD rear shock. Shimano Deore's trail brakes on big uprated rotors supply decent stopping power in any condition. Couple this with Haibike's newly developed frame geometry and you have an eBike you can really put through its paces. This is a good bike with decent components at a mid range price! Read More about the S.E.S System in my blog. The new Haibike Gen 2 bikes also feature the latest Bosch Performance crank drive motor, so you can be sure its fitted with the latest kit and set up for optimum performance. Haibike are the only manufacturer to mount the motor with the swing arm pivot bolt in a raised position ensuring the rear end is much shorter than any other eMTB. This ensures a shorter wheelbase for the ultimate control and manoeuvrability off road. They fix the chain line with their new S.E.S (Sprocket Equalizing System). Which raises the chain off the front sprocket up to the same level as the swing arm pivot point so the chain is not affected by the rear end moving up and down over bumps.

We at e-bike shop, (the biggest selling Haibike dealer in the UK!) can’t wait to get our hands on this full suspension, enduro/free ride/downhill bike – which is coming into our Haibike dealership on UK shores in early Jan 2014. Below is a quick overview / review of the new 2014 Haibike xDuro NDURO Pro. After spending a weekend with the eBike in the flesh at the NEC Cycle Show a few weeks back I was overwhelmed with the positive response and comments the bike generated! I think the most popular word used in the comments was WOW OK this bike might be built with the alps in mind but I personally am a massive fan of the big travel "tackle anything" style. Its actually the only Bosch powered eBike in the world to rock this sort of specification and 180mm travel. Being an avid mountain biker myself, the first thing that came to mind was. This eBike is better spec'd than my existing freeride bike - costing me just over £5.5k to build and that's with no motor attached!! This new NDURO style bike fits in 2 places in the market. It definitely works for the serious mountain biker who wants to really put a bike through its paces and get back up the hill when he reaches the bottom. But the look and feel of the bike will also appeal to most guys looking for that ultimate 'Boys Toy'! The new Haibike NDURO PRO 2014 features the new style Bosch ebike drive system. With 180 mm travel and the Bosch performance motor, the NDURO turns your hometrails into a bike park! Up lifts are made redundant with the new XDURO NDURO PRO. This bike will pretty much handle anything you throw at it. Its perfect for the serious mountain biker from full on downhill trials to local bike parks. The spec of this bike is top end. You have Mavic Enduro wheels, Sram XX1 drive train and, of course, completely newly developed suspension of the Haibike Sprocket Equalizing System (SES). The bike also features a Fox's premium kashima coated forks and rear shock. Avid's X.0 brakes on big uprated rotors supply more than enough stopping power in any condition. Couple this with Haibike's newly developed frame geometry and you have an eBike you can really put through its paces. Its un-stoppable! With deposits already flowing in for these Gen 2 editions. We will have to keep a close eye on stock levels. With Haibike already currently in limited supply. The demand for even the current machines is incredible!
