Cool! Glad it helped. There are several other Haibikes to check out and I'm hoping to do so later this year. This is like the top of the line most expensive one ;)

@kathytoona5853 10 лет назад

I recently test road the bike a step lower than this xduro amt pro called the xduro fs. It works great. Torque assist is very smooth and overall a well handling bike. The frame and torque assist mechanism are the same for both bikes, what distinguishes them are quality of the groupo, wheels, fork and shock. For those people that think they are cheating exercise and not getting a workout, do not worry you still have to peddle the xduro, but at approximately 30 - 5% effort depending on one of four torque assist settings. You are still throwing it around the trails and riding like a true mountain bike, although with a lot less peddle effort and more bike weight. Hate that steep hill you have to get over to make it your favorite trail head? Hate no more because this will take you over it with ease. During my search for a new mountain bike, I recently compared a trek fuel 9.9 to the xduro amt pro. You just get so much more in the xduro amt pro with the additional torque assist mechanism. These bikes have been popular in Germany and U.K. for many years and bugs have probably been worked out. All the translated and English reviews from across the pond have been overwhelmingly positive. I ordered a xduro amt pro and I am awaiting its arrival.

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Hi Kathy, yeah I like the FS 27.5" a lot! Recently reviewed it here: electricbikereview.com/haibike/xduro-fs-rx-27-5/ I hope you enjoy your Haibike, these are awesome machines and I love how they still ride like bicycles but make climbing easier. I've got a knee issue so it's a huge benefit for me :)

@ElectricBikeReview 11 лет назад

I'll be posting a bunch more "overview" style reviews in the coming weeks because I had limited time to test at Interbike. That said, I rode the bikes at Outdoor Demo and during the three days of Test Track to get as much info as I could :)

@eBikePal 11 лет назад

Thanks Court for this great review (just based on a ~short Bike-Show test ride!) on this awesome Mtn.eBike. Very exciting news indeed!

@ElectricBikeReview 11 лет назад

There are several other XDURO models to choose from with lower specs that cost a bit less. Considering the price of some non-electric mountain bikes out there (up to $10K) I think this bike makes sense :)

@HommeIsKing 10 лет назад

Absolutely amazing! I live in Oz and if I had them money I would buy one of these asap! Great to see Bosch getting in on the new technologies too!

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Yeah! They're doing an awesome job and I imagine that pretty quickly you'll be able to get one Down Under. This past year at Interbike I saw Bosch systems on the Haibikes, Easy Motion bikes and Felt bikes! It almost felt like they were taking over...

@benlucgem 8 лет назад

Thanks mate. i bought the Bosch first gen motor it did over 10,000ks. 70km 4 times a week and never missed a beat. Then one day just about to start my journey to work grinding and locking up it died.. now going thru the warranty process, will post how that turns out.. i really hope these electric bicycle are not a ticking time bomb.

@ElectricBikeReview 11 лет назад

Well, for what it's worth I appreciate your interest and wish you luck out there.

@t1tech 9 лет назад

Love your reviews (EasyMotion Jumper and Jet), thanks to you, keep them coming

@fkporsche1 11 лет назад

I like the way you are saying about the drop seat!

@BiknutProductions 11 лет назад

Nice review. There's enough information to tell me this bike will appeal to a lot of people, but not me.

@fkporsche1 11 лет назад

Cool looking bike! Thanks for the demo.

@markharrispt 10 лет назад

For the Eco motorcyclist & speed demon. Reasonable price for the spec, & built for purpose. Mid-drive & Iodine wheels amongst other bits lighten the weight, so it remains a mountain bike, unlike say the stealth. Nice bike.

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Good words, thanks for the bits on iodine wheels. This thing is a blast to ride and definitely still a bicycle.

@blackrainb0w 8 лет назад

I have the same bike and i love it. So much fun!

@nebula7226 9 лет назад

Great bike! With all of that suspension does the bike ride really comfortable on asphalt? It seems to me it would be more comfortable than a cruiser. I bet it would be a rocket with a 750 watt motor. As always, I enjoyed the review.

@ElectricBikeReview 9 лет назад

It does feel great on asphalt, full suspension is awesome but the seating position on this is pretty forward so your back and neck can still feel sore and the saddle isn't soft at all. The motor is more than capable of reaching 30+ mph but it's purposefully limited to comply with law in the US. Check out this speed pedelec Haibike with the same motor that is a speed pedelec design meant to go up to 28 mph electricbikereview.com/haibike/xduro-superrace-28/

@nebula7226 9 лет назад

ElectricBikeReview.com I looked at your ride again and that is a sweet ride. The Emotion is a great looking and riding ebike. Suspension has become an issue with me as my bikes do not have it. The only thing I wish my Manhattan / Golden Motors kit bike had that it does not is suspension. I will get that awesome post you reviewed and live with the front.

@rahulmaron 10 лет назад

Your very cool dude and i like your reviews. I just wonder if you have some fail moments like when you feel on your bike while driving with one hand in a rough road.

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Ha! Thanks, glad you've enjoyed the reviews (I'm working on more all the time!) There aren't any crashes so far, I have been lucky. The only bloopers are me messing up with the details of the bike when talking or laughing and stuff :)

@shawnkummer 10 лет назад

Enjoy watching all your e-bike reviews. Along with the Haibikes, I have also been looking at the Stealth Bomber and Fighter Elec. Bikes. If you were going to be purchasing one of these bikes for your own personal use of the three which one would you choose? Haibike Xduro AMT Pro, Stealth Bomber, Stealth Fighter? The problem I'm having is finding a vendor who has these bikes in stock where I can get in a test ride :( Thanks for your feedback and keep up the GREAT work with your reviews.

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Thanks Shawn! I'd definitely go with the Haibike AMT Pro because I ride on city paths and mountain trails a lot and I think the Stealth bikes really stand out (they are much bigger and aren't much fun to pedal). If you have private land and are really looking for more of a dirt bike then the Stealth bikes are tons of fun... You can go much faster, jump higher etc. but there's no pedal assist, again... it's more like a really quiet motocross bike. You might be able to scoot around town some with a Stealth (depending on where you live) but be very careful because any accidents could get you into legal trouble (unless you get it licensed like a car and add turn signals etc). I hope this helps :)

@jimbojones2457 8 лет назад

Just love these bikes mate

@ElectricBikeReview 11 лет назад

Maybe I should change the site to "electric bike overview". It's hard to touch so many bikes and be thorough but I'm doing my best :)

@wojtek1425 11 лет назад

After 600 miles I am still not fully ready with Stromer ST1 review. Two regen modes puzzle me, and nobody seems to know the answer for it. Need to ask CEO, Thomas Binggeli.

@propheccy 10 лет назад

great vid, thx for sharing mate

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Thanks! These bikes are really cool. Felt also demoed two models that use the same Bosch system with 350 watt mid-drive motors and they were also awesome. I've been debating posting them because they aren't really being sold, more of prototypes I guess and there are so many other bikes I want to get up still :D

@propheccy 10 лет назад

Electric Bike Review yea I am considering to buy one of these at the beginning of spring. I am particularly interested in the Xduro RC 29. I just dont know if I should settle for a 25km/h or a faster 45km/h bike. I think those with a 350 watts motor are those which always provide higher speed but Haibike only has two or three of those as far as I know. One that is full-suspension and one in the racing bike genre. But no hardtail bikes with 350watts motors yet! (as far as I know, according to their website) looking forward to see your other bikes reviews!

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

propheccy To be honest, the Haibike line is still pretty new to me so I can't speak to the different models with motor and speed upgrades. They all look pretty cool and I know the European ones were running 250 watt motors last year with the 20mph top speed limit. I'm glad more bikes are getting the 27mph top speed :)

@propheccy 10 лет назад

Electric Bike Review ah btw there's something that Ive been wondering recently: the terms "ebike" and "pedelec" are used equally in descriptions about these bikes nowadays which can be quite confusing since there is a fine and important difference between the two. For this reason I'd like to ask you whether it is possible with the bike that you demonstrated in the video to drive with it without using the pedals yourself? I think you did that in the vid but I just want to be sure that these bikes can be electrically driven while not using any "manpower" of your own.

@propheccy 10 лет назад

***** hey mate thanks for the technical answer, being an engineer myself, that was exactly what I had been waiting for. I believe that the mainreason why these bikes enjoy such popularity is simply due to Bosch's superior quality regarding the Motor-Drive unit.Ive heard everyone say that it doesnt overheat under extreme circumstances and really keeps the promises of the manufacturers. Something that cannot be taken for granted these times ! I'd really like to buy one of the faster ebikes with the 27mph, especially now that I finally understand the part of the pedelec-point. Then again, here in Europe, I have only seen two bikes offered so far who have the 27mph, which includes one racing bike and one ful-suspension bike. I am actually waiting for a hardtail with this feature since I do not need an fs or racing bike. Perhaps I'm lucky enough and something's gonna happen till next spring when I'll make a choice and buy one of these marvelous electrobikes. I am also faithfully expecting to see an ebike equipped with throttle mode, as I am sure that this would also find a lot of interest among customers. This is really a market that is going to thrive considerably within the next years... just like Tesla Motors. It is the dawn of electrically powered vehicles, you could say. since battery technology is so far advanced that we can really finally do something with it in this field of invention. Do you own one of these bikes btw?

@GrindInYOURcore 10 лет назад

Why do douche bags always say " but the whole point of a bike is to workout" . The gym is where you workout.. A bike is something to ride.. I ride my bikes for fun.. I dont need to workout..And if your are using a bike to workout your a weakling.. pump some iron.. Bikes are for jumping, turning, learning, looking, being a human outside, and enjoying real air..

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

The ironic thing about our perspective on bikes is that it's so rooted in our own time of obesity and fitness obsession. The first bicycle was the German Draisine built in 1817 with more traditional models appearing in France around 1860. Back then, people just wanted an efficient way to get around instead of walking. While bikes may be about fun to some and working out to others they are really just a machine that converts human energy into forward motion more efficiently. Steve Jobs once said "The computer is a bicycle for our minds" given how efficiently it translates our input into productivity... just like a bike.

@adamgillis5931 10 лет назад

Beautiful Discs....

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Ha! Yeah...

@pegie829 10 лет назад

Have you ridden the Focus Thron or Focus Jarifa with Impulse drive? I've heard that this drive is more quiet than Bosch, being equally powerful.

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Yeah, I have ridden those bikes and posted a couple of reviews here: electricbikereview.com/category/focus/ the Impulse system is pretty great (and very quiet). They are a part of the Derby Cycle Worke group from Europe that also makes Kalkhoff and more of those ebikes should be making their way to the USA in 2015 ;)

@pegie829 10 лет назад

Electric Bike Review I'm from Poland so pretty close to the source :) Which bike would you pick motorwise for mountain riding if you had to - Focus Jarifa Offroad Premium XT with XION drive or Haibike XDURO RX?

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Pe Gie I'd go with the Haibike if I could get full suspension. If both bikes had to be hardtails (to be fair since the Impulse Drive uses a hub motor vs. mid-drive) I think I'd be pretty closely tied. It's quieter and feels zippy no matter which gear you're pedaling in but also changes the balance of the bike vs. mid-drive. It's a tough call, the Impulse motor feels very strong and also has regenerative braking: electricbikereview.com/focus/jarifa-offroad-premium-xt/

@pegie829 10 лет назад

Electric Bike Review I knew you'd say it would be a tough call ;) But imagine you have money only for one bike and you HAVE TO choose :) Xion hub or Bosch mid-drive? Both hardtails. Or maybe impulse 2.0 mid-drive?

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Pe Gie In that case I'd go for the Haibike because there are more dealers here in the USA and Currie Technologies has great customer support. I like the center balance vs. hub (which is tougher to service with flats, spoke and rim issues) and appreciate the way it senses when you shift and cuts out but still leverages your sprockets vs. a hub motor. Now, if the Xion setup had a throttle it might be a little different... The Bosch centerdrive is louder but not that much. Hope that helps!

@eBikePal 11 лет назад

@wojtek1415 My 48V-BionX has FOUR ReGen levels/modes! Remember ReGen does a great job as a motor-brake on long downhills, giving u more than one brake resist levels (so rotors won't overheat!). Also u can optimise ReGen, as on higher speeds it generates LESS electricity!

@Friedrich-Wilhelm-1980 10 лет назад

but what about us who are 6'4 and want a longer bike for long distance?

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Many of the Haibikes come on several sizes so they will fit your body (even if you're tall) and they go very very far because of the efficient centerdrive system. You can often get 50+ miles per charge. Another Haibike that's pretty cool is the Superrace electricbikereview.com/haibike/xduro-superrace-28/

@rolandhanriot673 10 лет назад

je possede un vae habike x duro depuis 6 mois c'estsuper sympa et du bon materiel j'aimerai anticiper vers de nouveau modèles plus rapide.

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Sounds like you've enjoyed the Haibikes! Thanks for sharing your experience. The newer models for the US have 350 watt motors and some offer speeds of 27 miles per hour but I'm not sure if that will be the case for Europe?

@Birdman16730 10 лет назад

Looks like it would be fun to ride. The crappy part comes when your battery goes and everybody and their moma kicks your but even though your on an ebike!

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

That's true, at ~46lbs this would be a beast to climb with if the battery went out. Thankfully there's a huge display with capacity and sophisticated range estimator so if you did run out, it'd be your fault. It's like saying "the crappy part about swings is when a kid walks in front of you and gets booted into the sky!" but that only happens if you're not paying attention ;)

@oinkyaldritz4509 10 лет назад

LOL serves him right for cheating. Save your money, buy a traditional bike, and get it shape.

@UncleGroOve 10 лет назад

Yo' 1) what's this thing of riding and filming with just one hand mate? 2) Show us some real footage of *real trail climbing*. Something where even a relatively well trained biker like me won't be able to ride (or will choose to walk to conserve energy) 3) tech specs: how steep is the head angle? Chainstay length - is it any different from a regular bike? 4) Handling in the more extreme conditions (i.e. steep + technical uphill, downhill)?...

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Great points, my time is often limited during shoots like this and sometimes they don't have all of the details on the bike so I fill them in later back at the site electricbikereview.com/haibike/xduro-amt-pro/ in some other videos I do more off-road testing but it all depends on the situation. I'm a one person team and I get these reviews by visiting shops or trade shows so there are some limitations. Here's a review with more test footage: Stealth Bomber Electric Bike Review

@joepvandillen7634 10 лет назад

een mooi speelgoed,maar het moet wel goed weer zijn !!

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Yeah, this is a fancy toy to be sure. Here's the less expensive version: electricbikereview.com/haibike/xduro-fs-rx-27-5/

@wojtek1425 11 лет назад

Review or overview?

@nausika300 10 лет назад

Hi!! Is it your invention? How much does it cost?

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Hi, this bike is made by Haibike (a German company) and distributed by Currie (they bought Haibike a couple years ago in 2012). It costs ~$7,800 and you can read more about it on the full review at electricbikereview.com/haibike/xduro-amt-pro/ Haibike also makes other models that cost less and aren't as fancy. There are a bunch of great electric mountain bikes out there. You can explore some other models at electricbikereview.com/tag/mountain/

@nausika300 10 лет назад

Pity! It's a beautiful mountain bike but expensive. I'll wait some time for prices to less. Kinds Regards.

@sipapito 8 лет назад

Don't you just love this expensive bikes with all these features but they somehow seem to forget to put a 20 dollars bike stand?

@chronicom420 8 лет назад

As a mountain biker I find these bikes to be hilarious. If anyone tried to ride one of these with us they would get an endless amount of shit. For old people and commuters maybe they make sense, or I guess for people like the guy in this video who have injuries. If you don't fall in any of those categories and you ride one of these on the trails you are a wuss! You can get a real bike with as good or better components for much less.

@neobikes 10 лет назад

did he said SEVENTEEN HUNDRED dolars? or SEVENTY EIGTH HUNDRED dolars :D? I do not speak english much so it is hard to hear

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Hey there! The bike is $7,800 USD which is pretty expensive but it's the top of the line, lightest weight ebike they offer. I'll be reviewing some other Haibikes later this year that are a bit less :)

@CncObsession 10 лет назад

How about a helmet cam?

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

Good call, I do better camera work (and audio) on newer reviews. Helmet cam is alright but the wide angle kind of makes it hard to see the bike so I do frame mounted cams or handheld with a different setup.

@oinkyaldritz4509 10 лет назад

Naaah my body is my bike's motor. Probably when i turn 60 I'll get me one of these, or better yet, a motorcycle.

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

The cool thing about this is you can ride it on bike paths, don't need a license or insurance and it's way quieter, cleaner and cheaper to fix than a motorcycle. I started riding electric bikes because one of my knees got injured but now I love the range and speed, keeps the sweat away when commuting too.

@MrDengo999 10 лет назад

Why so expensive though?

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

This is one of the most expensive ebikes I know of! There are other Haibike models that have similar features but just use lower quality components. I think this is their top of the line model so that's where the cost comes in. It keeps it tough but also light weight. A less expensive option is the Easy Motion Neo Jumper which also has full suspension.

@MrDengo999 10 лет назад

but still 7-8 grand for a bike?? LOT'S OF MONEY.. max i would pay would be 1,500 and that's that! Electric Bike Review

@wojtek1425 11 лет назад

Yeah, takes a while to get to know a bicycle.

@josh786manchester 10 лет назад

$7800???? Ripp off

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

***** Ha! Yeah, I'm really excited about this new generation of ebikes!

@eBikePal 11 лет назад

*Sry, my comment was for @wojtek1425

@FWCaptain-kv6sm 9 лет назад

rather buy a fresh ktm 250 2 stroke,8000grand same price

@FWCaptain-kv6sm 8 лет назад

+Speed Play Ok I bought a Cube stereo 140 hybrid with the bosch,1500 km of single trail all mountain riding.Love it! i normally ride a 20lb Cannonade flash carbon,light fast ,brutally hard ride compared to the Cube. I want the 2016 Haibike all mtn 27.5 ,I love e-bikes now,great fun well worth the money.

@RyanDillonpi 10 лет назад

Sort of ruins the whole mountain biking experience. Hope they get banned on busier trail areas.

@nathankettner722 9 лет назад

How did I miss this conversation until now? I think the trails that are designated as non-motorized should stay non-motorized. E-bikes have the advantage of being quieter than combustion engines, but like Ryan said, if more people have that much more power and start tearing up the trails with acceleration at the twist of a knob, then the trails will not be sustainable. The OP makes a good point that increased ridership may increase visibility and bring more resources to bear, but most of us that use pedal power would rather keep some trails less busy.

@Dwaynesname30 10 лет назад

but the whole point of a bike was to workout

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

You make a good point, especially with mountain bikes... To me this product makes most sense for someone with a hurt knee or who wants to keep up with stronger friends or go further on a ride. It's definitely a lot of fun to ride. Other ebikes made for city or street are just great for commuting and stuff, you can get to work faster and without sweating or maybe ride further if you live far from work :)

@ElectricBikeReview 10 лет назад

***** That's awesome! I hope you enjoy your bike, which one did you go for? My knees also have some issues (and I'm half your age!) I guess all that fun as a kid is finally catching up to me ;)

@Dwaynesname30 10 лет назад

***** Yes I understand completely in your case I would give one to my dad to keep up with us but for a young guy ? get a scooter

@VeloVerde 10 лет назад

I think the "whole point" of any bike is to meet the owners needs; for me that means transportation(arguably why bikes were invented) and recreation.

@OneCentKTM 10 лет назад

the hole point of a bike is to workout and have fun.. and some of us use it to go to work. And i have to say.. it makes a lot more fun going uphill with some speed ;-)

@IZIPebikes 11 лет назад
