Aw yea FINALLY Bosch has produced an internal battery system for their widely popular mid-drive ebike system. Only problem is.... IT'S NOT OUT YET here in the good old USA. That's right, as of this blog post, if you want to own a new Haibike, Corratec, Cube or other brand of ebike that is talking about and showing the Bosch POWERTUBE ebike battery system in their models you'll need to wait until around summer time of 2018 before you get that brand new ebike you're eyballing on our web site. Ebikes like the Haibike SDURO Fullseven 9.0 or the Haibike XDURO (ALLTN) All Mountain 10.0 won't be shipping to any dealer until this time due in part to the fact that the BOSCH batteries take more time to get approved by the US consumer safety people before they can be allowed for sale here. We'll have this system available for Haibike and Cube ebikes soon! Now, depending on when you are reading this, we still recommend you get on the ball and get your order in soo

When BOSCH announced the new powertube internal battery system we in the ebike community go really excited. EMTB riding can be a touchy situation here in the United States where entrenched camps in the MTB world often sneer at Ebikes on trail. Some trails here in the SF BAY area outright ban ebikes from trails, for no good reason. The new BOSCH intube system will make it a lot harder for a ranger or traditionalist to snoop about what you are, which means you can ride your ebike where you want in peace. The new  Haibike XDURO AMT 9.0  (all mountain) ebike features the new PowerTube system and it's going to be one of the hot tickets in 2018 when this things comes out. But, hold your hats, if you want one you're going to get to put in an order soon because these bikes will sell pre-sold before they are shipped. The other problem is they are not shipping until Summer of 2018 and there won't be enough of them.  The Haibike ALLMTN 9.0 has the BOSCH CX motor, of course and

Surfing the web late at night spending hours and hours of "online research" might land you a bike you want to buy that is not available through US dealers - beware that European-spec bike will not have a US-spec warranty with it.  It's important for your investment to make sure you buy a bike that is certified and backed by BOSCH USA, otherwise your bike's ebike system will have no warranty.  All BOSCH ebikes we sell come with a standard 2 year warranty that covers parts (not labor). This means that if your battery goes bad in the 2 years you own it, or you Nyon Display stops working you get a new one once we (your dealer) connect the bike to diagnostics.

I've been organizing and leading group e-bike rides for the past two years as a way to help people of all abilities put the ebikes they buy from us or elsewhere to good use. 2016 was a very busy year for our riders and our groups have been growing as e-bikes become more popular.

We road around the entire Lake Tahoe as well as the Flume Trail. We ran a 1 hour Pedelec Cycle Track race in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park and we explored the lost back country trails of Henry Coe State Park and explored Monterrey's 17 Mile Drive by e-bike, just to name a few of our adventures. Visit our Meet-up page to see all the past and future rides. For the last ride of 2016, we wanted to do something big and special to finish off the New Year and so Death Valley was thrown on the calendar and preparations were made to spend 6 day
