Haibike
Haibike ebikes contain many advantages for the eco-enthusiast.
Regular bicycles also offer many benefits, especially for
people who live in the city and only have short distances
to commute. A well designed pedal-powered bicycle is small,
lightweight and can even carry items in saddlebags or other
places that help save the bicyclist gas and strain on their
vehicle.

However, normal bicycles have their limitations as well, most
notably the fact that it does take human power for the bike
to operate properly. For years, there have been small gas
engines that people have used to take some of the strain from
riding for many miles on a bike, but they have their disadvantages.
Enter the Haibike, a premium electric powered bicycle out
of Germany, that operates with a battery instead of a gas
engine. Traditionally, batteries have been too heavy and clumsy
to place on bicycles, but the Haibike represents an advancement
on that notion.
What is a Haibike?
The Haibike is a well-designed ebike for the commuter who
needs a little extra power to get where they are going. Instead
of a small gas engine that sits above the rear wheel, the
Haibike uses a battery to assist in powering the bike where
the rider wants it to go.
The battery system of the Haibike sits in a more natural
position under the rider and attached to the rail of the bike
just above the pedals. This helps to center the weight and
keep the bike steady when in operation.
Some of the features of the Haibike includes dual chamber
downtubes, oversize composite pressfit, composite post mount,
tapered head tube, slim super seat stays, flex post system,
full carbon rocker and a 12mm floating axel.
The Advantages of Electric Bikes
There are numerous advantages to electronic bikes that offer
additional power for the bicycle. These advantages assume
that the bike is well crafted and designed, much like the
Haibike.
Greater Distance: Because of the added power from
the battery, the Haibike offers riders greater overall range
that they could not get from normal human-powered peddling.
This means that the power source can take over that function
and allow the legs of the bicyclist to rest while the bikes
keeps going forward.
Hill Assistance: There are certain hills or obstacles
that can greatly strain the legs of even the most fit bicyclist
which is why having an extra power source can be real helpful.
The Haibike in particular offers that additional power so
that tough hills can be negotiated without causing undo strain.
Noise: While gas engine assistance offers some advantages,
the noise they create can be quite distracting. This is because
like lawnmower or chainsaw engines, these motors have little
to no muffling of the sound that comes out of the exhaust.
Thus, the noise can be distracting to pedestrians and motorists
while being annoying to the bicycle rider without ear protection.
The Haibike runs on a quiet electric motor that generates
no appreciable noise. That means no sound protection is required
and no distraction to pedestrians or motorists is being caused
by the engine of the bike.
Overall, the Haibike is an excellent innovation that provides
many advantages for the rider while offering an excellent
design. Perfect for commuting or travelling distances that
may be a little much for ordinary bike riding, the Haibike
is the perfect solution.
