9 years agoHey Court, Great review – as usual! Looking forward to your review of the new Haibikes with the new Bosch CX motor. I ordered one 5 weeks ago and no word yet if it has even left Germany. Can’t wait.

9 years agoHey I love your reviews. But I am a little confused on your comments about the power range of the Yamaha system. If you are in the lowest gears for going up hill, i’m assuming the motor will only assist you as fast as you can pedal, which the mph shouldn’t be very fast considering you are in climbing gears. So my questions is how are the Bosch motors able to assist beyond the pedaling speed at low gears. That would almost make it like a full throttle since your pedaling at low gears isn’t fast enough to keep up with the speed. So even though you are pedaling but not putting any power into it because it’s beyond the speed of pedaling power, how would the Bosch motor propel you to above the pedaling speed. To me that would seem like a full throttle bike. Without the throttle of course. Or am I misunderstanding your comment? Because if I’m pedaling at the lowest gears, let say I can only reach 5-6 mph, and that’s the fastest I can pedal cause of the gearing. Now on the bosche motor, would it propel me above that, like a full throttle? If so, that would mean it’s all motor that pushing me since the gears wouldn’t allow me to pedal that fast. Is that what you mean by the power range? Thanks

9 years agoHi Thao! I’m sorry I wasn’t more clear… I felt frustrated with my dialog when editing because I feared the comment would come off just like you described, that cadence is the limiter and not the motor. I’ll try to distill the feeling: as pedal RPM goes up the motor power drops significantly compared to Bosch so even though both systems might have a limited top RPM, I feel that Bosch is higher and that the power you get is more consistent across that range. For Yamaha it feels as though the best power is only at lower cadence and relies more on torque input so I end up pedaling slower and pushing harder than I’d like. This comes into play when climbing especially because as I shift down to spin and generate more power the motor RPM kicks up and its power drops out so in turn my cadence slows… and again I shift down… eventually I’m just going way slower than I’d like in order to get the motor support I need to get myself and the 50 lb bike up a trail :/

7 years agoCourt EBR Hi, Being retired, I always enjoyed riding bikes. However, things like WIND and HILLS were becoming more and more a good excuse for NOT GO Biking… Being completely “unfamiliar” with electric bikes, I went to a bike shop and started to watch your very informative reviews. I now have a Haibike SDuro Cross SL customized with rack, etc. and must say that it gave me back the pleasure of bike riding. I want to express my appreciation for all the very pertinent information which you provide.
