Is Haibike the best e-bike brand you’ve never heard of? This manufacturer combines German engineering with high level components and we’ve had great feedback from so many Big Bear Bikes customers who love theirs. In this blog, we’ll tell you more about one of the pioneers of e-mountain bikes and why Haibike might be perfect for you.
Haibike is a German brand that specialises in e-bikes, from hardtail city and trekking models to highly capable full suspension mountain bikes. The company was founded in 1995 and has been innovating and pushing the boundaries of e-performance ever since.
One of the features that sets Haibike apart from other e-bike brands is the use of different motor systems from leading manufacturers such as Bosch, Yamaha and Fazua. Haibike carefully select the best motor for each bike model, depending on the intended use and performance level.
As a brand, Haibike is known for amazing value for money with excellent components at each price point in comparison to other brands. You’ll often find higher level suspension, brakes, gears, wheels and tyres on a Haibike than you will on a similarly priced equivalent model from one of the big global brands.
As we said at the top, Haibike offers a wide range of bike types for different kinds of riding. We’ve picked out three of our favourite ranges that are popular, among others, with Big Bear Bikes customers and are in stock right now.
Haibike Trekking 4 is a versatile machine that’s at home on everything from the city streets to riverside paths to gentle, well-maintained trails. The new version from Haibike sees further improvements over the previous Trekking 4, with a 75Nm motor (previously 65Nm) and 720Wh battery (was 500Wh) to give you more power for longer. It also has an adjustable handlebar stem to help you get the perfect riding position and extra comfort, and more rugged tyres that make it ideal for moorland trekking.
Haibike Trekking 4 is currently available with £600 off at £1,999. Read more here.
The AllTrack range replaced the HardSeven and HardNine, and introduced an improved frame design and geometry, making for a better quality ride. We particularly like the AllTrack 5, which has seen the introduction of the bigger 720Wh battery, which keeps you riding for longer and reduces range anxiety. The 75Nm motor provides all the power you need, with plenty in reserve should you need it.
Haibike AllTrack 5 is currently available with £300 off at £2,499. Read more here.
AllMtn is the Haibike equivalent of the highly capable and very powerful full suspension mountain bikes like Trek Rail. Haibike really know how to ‘spec’ a full suspension bike. The entire AllMtn model range runs a ‘mullet’ set up, with a 29” front wheel and a 27.5” rear wheel. Having a mullet set-up gives riders better control and more confidence when tackling difficult terrain, while the smaller rear wheel provides improved traction on tight turns and trails. The Haibike AllMtn 10 is high up in the range but with a lower-priced aluminium frame, meaning it features a fantastic level of componentry for the price, including 160mm FOX 38 Factory Kashima air fork and Shimano Deore XT groupset.
Haibike AllMtn 10 is currently available with £1,300 off at £4,999. Read more here.
