Haibike Electric Bikes - E-bikes From Germany

Haibike e-bikes have taken over the the US, creating an all-new category for electric bikes - electric mountain biking. Given that over 99% of the earth is UNPAVED, we like the idea of great e-bikes to explore and ride that unpaved earth.

Haibike e-bikes have been dominant in Europe for years. Based on the BOSCH e-bike system, Haibike electric bikes are equipped with a mid-drive motor system that is ultra efficient and ultra light.

But it's not enough to slap a motor on a mediocre mountain bike and to make something that really stands out. Haibike has been doing what few other e-bike companies dared to do- make a purpose built range of high end race-spec e-bikes that a pro mountain biker would look at and say -yes, that's a real mountain bike.

Naturally, an electric mountain bike is heavier than a non electric. But the key to building the perfect electric mountain bike is to make the lightest most reliable e-mountain bike you can with the weight that is required for motor and battery that will also stand the test of durability under the harsh conditions that are natural in mountain biking. On top of that, the bike needs to handle well and ride comfortably.

Haibike did all that, splendidly and with a full array of bikes starting from basic to full blown.

Motostrano's back ground in moto led us straight to the Haibike brand as a natural. Born in Europe, Haibike fits perfectly into our niche of European focused parts and accessories.

Hardware: Supermoto Wheels Explained

Supermoto wheels are a big investment, when you factor that your 2-3 year old dirt bike may have a resale value in dirt form in the $4-5K range, if that. We get calls from guys all the time who say "well, I'm not really racing or nothing, so I'm just looking for the cheapest wheels you have to convert to Supermoto". Well, the real reply there is that there really isn't a cheap way to get into Supermoto unless you're going to go Sportsman about it and ride on knobbies or some type of dual-sport tire. Quality 17-inch supermoto wheels that will last are going to set you back between $800 and $2000 depending on how deep you're going to go at this and whether you want quality and performance or just a good price. Motostrano is a full scale supermoto specialist and we've been involved in Supermoto since it's re-birth in the United States in 2002. We offer complete supermoto wheels made from the finest materials and built by experience wheel builders

Riding the Moustache Samedi 27 2X Tandem Electric Bike

I love riding with my partner and riding by tandem is one of my favorite ways to get around on a Sunday. Touring by tandem is literally twice as fun as riding solo,when you are on a bike with the one you love and the one that loves you. But tandem bikes are rare and excellent electric tandem bikes are even rarer, so I wanted to give you a fresh impression of our ride yesterday on the 2018 MOUSTACHE Samedi 27 X2 tandem . Moustache is a French company, making some of the most innovative ebikes in the world. Their tandem is no exception. This bike comes in two build types, either a smooth tire touring type or a knobby tire off-road type, but the frames, motors and other specs are pretty much the same. I've ridden tandems for the past few years on road and off road. Yesterday we did a Meet-Up ride with other fellow ebikers in the Sonoma area. Naturally we were the only tandem riders, with others riding solo on their Haibikes, KTM, Giant, Felt and Blix bikes. Out and
