Hello, thanks for this awesome review. Have the same bike for six month now. Nice bike to ride, allow long ride at least four hours in Ebike mode and 1500m+ / + 50 kms. Two issues, strange noise in the engine when new, but quikly desapear. Rear shock leaked a little. Cost 4800€ new in France.
I actually desided for this Bike for how the motor is protected, Bomb Prof! Compared to other bikes, and its soo good in every way i hope they continue making this frame, cos my next Bike will be The same frame, just a bit upgraded and expensier🤪
More great content on a Saturday Lance. Thank you. Really appreciating the multiple angles and great editing. Appreciated the like/dislike/don’t mind categories. Shame lockdown is still not over- am missing your group rides. Keep up the good work and If I would happily be your camera person (if I didn’t live on the opposite side if the world!)
Thanks so much. I am really missing the group rides too. Covid doesn't help but Graham is currently in the South Island and Steve has had shoulder surgery so group reduced. Next week's video is a small group ride.
Spot on about the display , yes it's big but on the plus side if your eyes aren't 100%, you can read it on the fly so for me being 50 odd and my mince pies not like when I could see a fly at 100 yards, its functional and reliable like the Bosch motor, no complaints, good vid Vince.
Thanks for that. Must admit I had great eye sight when I was younger infact it doesn't seem that long ago. Now I get annoyed I can't read things even with glasses. Try reading the suggested shock pressure on the fork.😁
Great video Lance, drone footage looks fantastic ! I'm personally not a fan of Haibike but really appreciate the ability to connect a piggyback battery, perfect for epic rides like Old Ghost Road and saves having to carry a full size battery. I just think they could have made it a bit prettier 😉
The piggy back battery has some appeal to me. In reality I probably wouldn't use it much. I often imagine doing epic long rides but it seldom happens. Haibike has that distinctive shape that some like but others just see as ugly.
Thanks although I panicked a bit with the drone. I got near the bottom of the track and it was heading back to the start. It was almost out of site but managed to manually get control and rescue it.
We constantly talk about this. It is on my bucket list for sure. I want to do the old ghost road on an ebike buy not sure if that is possible in terms of battery.
Can get some information for you. Think you maybe can top up at the to hut now but most people take to battery’s. one thing I can do is pick your cars up from the start and drop off at the end.
@@miketodd2036 I guess one issue is getting the bike there. Drive or fly. Can't fly with battery. Secondly Can't see everyone wanting to buy second batteries and I am not sure about carrying extra battery that far. You say top up at the hut. I assume there is no power.
Thanks for the support. May make less videos for awhile. Trapped in Auckland with limited places to ride and supposed to be only grade 3 trails. Recipe for boring videos.
That was Great Lance! The Bike i Ride and i Love it, and so do many others as you sead People are screaming at me when i pass them "beautifyll bike man" never heard that before, there is a small screw for reach adjustment for The brakes, cant you do a size comparison on those wheels and the 29" being 27.5 and 2.80 wide i recon there is not many mm in differens if you measure them against eachother, and yes the Nobby nics are Awesome i dont use anything ells, but the once that came on the bike seems to be Taiwan nock offs🙄 no pungture protection at al! And the plastic rear mech is Crap brake of at first twig😡, but the bike is well balanced and very quiet, and i Ride it Derestrikted😁 with a riser bar at 800mm wide and it still climbes like a Goat, so thanks again Awesome Review, but one thing tough? Are the more expensier high end bikes that much better? I am courius for my next Bike, is it really worth it? Take care Man
Thanks for that. I looked for a reach adjustment screw but didn't see it. Will look harder next time. Personally I would prefer higher end brakes. They were OK but not great. What do you use to district it and have you had any error codes? I hear so many get error codes. I think you may be right about the wheels. Easy to rest as my bike is a mullet with a 2.8 rear.
I have Riden over 1400km this summer, with no problems at al, well exept the rear mech broken of! Plastic crap and the Rear Tire getting big holes in it until i bought a new one, i instaled the Speedbox after Riding it for 6km as new and NO issue at al.. Nothing! But ok i ALWAYS let it count down after a Ride, but i haft to say pritty impressed about the Qulity of the Bosh and the rest of the Bike, even the Dampners tought i have to upgrade them, but they just work so good, did not haft to do anything, well exept 5cm Riser Bar at 80cm Wide, pedals, and Gripps, not even the saddle that i have al ways changed on my Bikes, its my second EMTB been Riding siins early - 90,and the EMTB opened a hole new thing, its more like a Trials motorBike 🤪

Glad you like the bike. I would get the shock serviced if leaking.

Nice review, in german www there isn‘t a real test about this bike. Thank you!
I can see you put a lot of effort into this video Lance with all the camera angles. Great video. 👌
Thanks very much. I need a camera man.😁
Loving the drone shots amazing
Still getting used to using it. Maraetai is a good option to use it as many of the trails are in the open.
Well put together, Rorys first show on a BDE video 😀

@@bestdayevermtb2 looking forward to that already.
great vid, informative. Keep up the good work!
Awesome vid mate! wish you to have the best day ever every day riding with your bike :) ;)
Great review Lance. Thank you for filling 15 mins of my Saturday morning. You missed the bit out that it is ugly.
The shape of the bike is quite polarising. Or Marmite as I call it. I don't mind the shape but I know exactly what you are saying.
Top effort mate. Thanks 🙏

Another great vid, and thats the shirt you got the day you hurt your hand. Great Drone following footage
Thanks although I panicked a bit with the drone. I got near the bottom of the track and it was heading back to the start. It was almost out of site but managed to manually get control and rescue it.
Would be great to see you guys down here on the West Coast. Another great video.

Great review! I have those Shimano brakes on my eMTB and there is a small hex screw on the inside of the lever to adjust the throw on the brakes.
Thanks for that. Need my glasses.
Great bike, great review as always 👍👍
Thanks for the support. May make less videos for awhile. Trapped in Auckland with limited places to ride and supposed to be only grade 3 trails. Recipe for boring videos.
Nice vid! There are so many different types of E-bikes now, and they just keep improving. Maybe it’s time to put the old man on one!
They’re even great for young men like myself 😊
It is time. They are so much. Went for 40km ride today with big hills. Loved it.
You can hire these bikes in Putaruru and Rotorua. They are very good, fun to ride and capable.
Is it that model or the blue allmtn 3.0?
@@bestdayevermtb2 blue am3.0 mullet I think 🤔
Hay mate really interested to know what mode you ride in most of the time ? ie eco, trail or boost?
Cheers 🍻

Nice review Lance. Where has the sun gone?
Tell me about it. Fed up.
Not Quite all sold out! I have 1x Large frame size left in stock at Van Dyks Bike Barn in putaruru 👍
Good to know.
I think I also know one that would still be available and at a discounted price now that it's a demo and only thrashed by one old bloke named Lance 🤣
@@derekharper6031 I rode that brand new as well. Nobody had ever touched it.
Are e-bikes even allowed on the Old Ghost Road? (I know they're not allowed on the Heaphy Track 😞
I believe so. I have talked to people who have done it on e bikes. Certainly not heard anything to suggest otherwise.
has the frame been damaged along the top tube, or does it come like that?
It comes like that. The Haibikes have a very distinctive shape.
So where do I find out where this secret location is?
The problem is you can be trespassed if found riding there. The more riders that go there the bigger the problem.
Where were you riding for this video Lance? some of those tracks looked like good fun!
The first trails are a secret but the rest was Maraetai.
@@bestdayevermtb2 I'd ask about the secret but we cant even get up to Auckland so I guess we will let it slide this once :p
Where were you riding?
Second half is Maraetai. First half is a secret location.
Those secret location
Well the second half at Maraetai is no secret.
@@bestdayevermtb2 Cool I'm going to check those trails out. Thanks for the upload
Lance could u pls give me a shout out that would be insane by the way.ur vids are so cool
What do you mean by a shout out?
@@bestdayevermtb2 pls say that my names Hugh and I really like ur vids that would be insane
She’s not really a looker though…
The shapes of the frame is quite polarising.
Hai bike must make the ugliest mountain bikes on the planet. 😜
Can’t get past the way they look though - not a good looking bike…….in my personal opinion!
Fair call. You are not the only one who thinks that. It has a very distinctive shape.
