The brakes are crap ,cheap as they come as for suggestions of sram gears I’ve ran sram on my bronson and other bikes for a long time and if Set up correctly they perform very well ,I’ve ran shimano xtr and they are also very good it’s all about personal preference and what the individual prefers

@@Wildernessoutside Owned a bike shop for the last 18 years and in my experience the sram cassettes, chains, shifters and cassettes don't last anywhere near as long as shimano. Rode a haibike with these brakes a fair number of miles now and they are perfectly adequate for general use. Yes you can get quad piston all singing all dancing brakes but no need on this entry level ebike.

@@TheTwistedStone it’s gonna be upgraded for more serious stuff ,like I said in the video the forks and such have been upgraded ,as you’ve owned a bike shop for 18 years you’ll know that people have different preferences I’ve been riding bikes for 40 plus years and have rode campag shimano and SRAM and have never had an issue with wear and tear on the sram stuff always served me well and lasted a long time ,shimano are easier to set up ,but if you set up sram right you’ll have a great shifting bike with comparable longevity

@@Wildernessoutside We have a lot of newer bikes coming in with massive 12 speed rear cassettes that can cost a pretty penny. Some have been fitted to higher end ebikes and the chain tension on the SRAM derailleurs is so strong the jockey wheels wear out in no time not to mention the chain and the cassettes themselves. Only going on experience from having to repair and service bikes but I would go with Shimano all day long.

@@TheTwistedStonethat’s your personal preference though

Says the guy who looks like he’s just escaped from a Eastern European gulag 😂

yes mate

@@Wildernessoutside where do you go in Stoke I'm struggling to find places to wild camp

no that's the only drawback ,but the 250g jetboil or msr gas sits nicely on top and I tend to just store it that way in a side pouch of a backpack ,the complete cook system takes up very little space compared to systems like the jet boil minimo or equvilant all in one systems

@@Wildernessoutside cheers! Good to know :)

its all personal preference ,im 5,8 and run a medium frame

Yes

The battery life is still pretty good I was wary about Charging the battery and draining it but I tend to not let it drop below 2 bars and if I don’t use it for say a month or two I leave the battery at about 40-50% ,I’ve used the bike almost daily as my commute to work and have only really seen about 2/3 miles drop in range since I first bought it ,so any loss in battery performance is minimal

As for being happy with her I’m more than happy ,she’s a nice bike for the price and any short comings are easily fixed as swapping out forks ,wheels etc etc are simple to do

@@Wildernessoutside Okay, I'm glad, I'm thinking of buying the model 7 to make mountain routes on time, and especially to make some trip like the Camino de Santiago and other similar routes in Spain. Do you know if you can put a rack on it? With that and with a bag that occupies the frame, I would be happy to travel. Thank you very much for your information, the feedback of someone who has thoroughly tested it like you is very helpful. A hug and good pedaling.

@@JuanPreciado87 I think you can put a rack on it but I will double check and let you know

Yes the battery is easily removable ,you just take the black cover off from the down tube and then there’s a little key hole that you put your key in ,turn it and battery disconnects

Tbh it’s something I’ve never looked into ,I’d say as long as your not 25 stone you’ll be ok

@@Wildernessoutside I weigh 230 lbs. Is this bike capable of lifting my weight or should I look at something else?

@@vassiliskyriakopoulos4450 I’m not sure as I don’t know what maximum weight is ,I suggest looking on haibike website they might have the information you need

Cheers for the watch fella,yeah it’s a good little spot it’s next to a tumulus so if you don’t mind sleeping next to the dead you’ll be alreet ,yeah it was a good little wild camp close to home although at one point we though we of may have to move if wind changed as there was a moor fire the back of chrome hill

Been using it for 12 months or more now and have no issues with it as the bail handles haven’t been an issue as it’s intended to be used with a fire hook or a big long stick ,if your using it on a stove or on the edge of a fire then as gravity always wins the handles are bound to fall and get hot ,I suggest using it with a fire hook and suspend it over the fire and not on or in the fire ,hope this helps

Yeah it’s not a bad looking bike for the price ,could do a lot worse

Hope you enjoy mate

yeah

Thanks I’m glad you liked it ,was my first time on mull and Iona but really enjoyed it and plan to go back again in the future

Yes it’s had some fair use over the last 18 months ,unfortunately that spot has had a few issues since COVID ,with a fair bit of litter being left and people cutting down trees for firewood

Yeah you can adjust the side straps

Just in the lay by ,but car park will be ok

Try the ray mears bushcraft store

No you’ll be fine it’s secured well

@@Wildernessoutside im gonna get this bike but the 2022 version when its out soon do you think it will have a screen on it like this one

@@mckenziefox1078 not sure depends how it’s specced

@@mckenziefox1078 it wont

Your welcome hope you enjoyed it please check out my other videos and if you ain’t already subscribed please do ,and thanks for watching

Thank you ,you really should there’s so much to do there if you like the outdoors ,want to go back and climb Ben more

I think the 50 is about your size so 51 will be about right or maybe slightly on the large size in reach department but will still be ok for you

😂 just hiding from the wife

@@Wildernessoutside know the feeling

Do you know I haven’t actually looked 😂😂😂

No , baut „Acid stand „from Cube Van be fitted

@@thomasmeyer8336 Don't think so without the adaptor insert.

I don’t think this motor is the speed line it’s just the performance line but not top of the range cx model ,speed line motors are mainly on touring type bikes

It’s got 65nm

Think it’s only gen 4 motors that have had the upgrade this motor is a gen 3 motor

I bought mine direct from haibike but I think there uk distribution is based in Nottingham as ,it’s Raleigh uk that shipped it as they are all under the same brand,didn’t take long to turn up ordered on 7th July and I had it by the 15th

Hi Greg. Are you still looking to purchase? I have one available

I’m not sure just yet as so far I’ve only really done 12 mile rides on it ,did a couple rides mainly in tour mode and it only dropped one bar ,I’d say though as an estimate you’ll prob get about 50 miles on tour leaving 1 bar as to not flatten the battery if a bigger battery is needed the hardnine 5 has a 500wh battery ,but personally if your only planning on maybe doing say 25 mile rides you’ll be fine also with the hardnine 4 and 5 the only difference is the battery so my thinking was to save the difference in cost so I can ungrade the forks which are terrible then in a couple years time when the battery is starting to wear invest then in a bigger wh battery

@@Wildernessoutside many thanks for your reply. My work is only 6miles away with a big hill toget to work and one to get home so should be plenty of range for me

@@sailingachilles7810 that's exactly why I bought this bike as my commute is roughly the same ,on tour with a full charge it says I have 56 miles range turbo mode it says 22

@@Wildernessoutside what is the top speed?

I’m 5’9 and went for a medium ,reach is about right and stand over clearance is ok think small would of been a bit too small ,my height is a bit in between sizes ,my bronson is a medium but with that being 27.5 I have a bit more stand over than with this 29er

@@Wildernessoutside I was looking at medium I am 5'8 but looking at the hard seven think I should be ok. do you think the 400watt battery is going to be enough for mostly trail mode bit of turbo

@@deltafx00 yeah I think the slightly smaller wheel size you’ll be ok ,you’ll understand what I’m on about with the forks ,they really are a weak point of this bike ,but for this price point it can be expected they will save money when it comes with a solid motor and battery combo

@@deltafx00 regarding the battery I think you’ll be ok as I’ve done a few 11,12 mile rides round my local trails and haven’t taken it down past 4 bars on each ride ,tbh I’ve mainly ridden it in tour mode then when needed and extra boost on a steep climb I’ve put it in etmb or turbo mode for the hardest parts ,considering it’s not the most powerful Bosch motor producing only 65nm it’s more than capable

Cheers fella ,it’s been my local loop for about 30 years

Ears are too big for that fella 😂😂😂

No worries fella hope you find what we were on about

@@Wildernessoutside might be happening soon!

@@1982Noddin nice

cheers fella glad you liked it, it was a cracking day for it not baking hot just right for a nice walk ,yeah next day it was a bit blustery and wet in places but still cracking non the less

@@Wildernessoutside A pleasure mate. Yeah all good whatever the weather. Have a cool week.

@@WyeExplorer and you fella

Yeah it’s a beautiful kettle

I’d say with the exchange rate you’ll be maybe looking at about 55/65 US dollars ,I don’t know what your import duty would be but you’d also have to consider any import tax as well if you purchased it from outside of the us

@@Wildernessoutside thank you!

@@Otis010707 no worries

Well said, people complain about handles sticking up when packing :)

aint he just

Cheers fella glad you enjoyed it

I will have more very soon mate

Yeah it’s spot on ,fired it up in the back garden this evening

Your welcome Dan ,really pleased with it

@@Wildernessoutside mate you should put your title as ewm wood burning stove more people will find your video

@@englishwoodsman will do

cheers fella hope you found them helpful
