Haibike E-Bikes: From historical beginnings to modern excellence

When the first patent for electric bicycles was registered in 1817, no one could have imagined the success story that was to follow. After all, their idea was temporarily replaced by petrol engines before a true renaissance in the 1980s paved the way for all e-bike developers.

Fortunately, smelly petrol engines and weak batteries have long since become a thing of the past... thanks in part to Haibike!

Even though the company philosophy of the manufacturer Haibike has little to do with a menacing-looking sea creature, the developers' bite and, above all, their success story still make the association with a shark very apt, because it's hard to survive next to Haibike if you're not one of the big players.

The creation of Haibike e-bikes: a success story

Susanne and Felix Puello founded the new member of the Winora family, whose foundation stone had once been laid by Susanne's great-grandfather Engelbert Wiener with E. Wiener GmbH.

In Schweinfurt, innovative ideas were constantly being devised, and when demand suddenly exceeded production after the presentation of the first e-bike at EUROBIKE, this turning point led to a rapid success story that continues to this day.

Haibike E-Bikes: The embodiment of the impossible

Are a down-to-earth attitude and a sense of tradition incompatible with a penchant for extremes? If so, Haibike achieves the impossible..

Haibike is an offshoot of Winora, in other words, part of the Winora Group – a bicycle manufacturer with an almost magical family history... In contrast, the Haibike brand developed like a fast-growing predator that suddenly appeared and devoured problems as well as smaller competitors. It remains intriguing and fascinating to see what the developers make of their possibilities:

They don't shy away from extremes. They aim for them.

With courage, passion and curiosity, they are reinventing freedom in the saddle without forgetting their roots and the experiences that have shaped them.

They also want to connect: no matter what your stature, age or constitution, cycling connects people anyway; thanks to the diverse Haibikes and their powerful motors, it connects even more.

Anyone can go Haibiking!

Innovation meets performance: the technological milestones of Haibike e-bikes

This results in a progressiveness that not only gives trekking bikers a lot of riding fun but also enables the best professional athletes to achieve extreme performances. To be specific, we present you here with some keywords that stand for unique Haibike innovations:

Haibike scores, for example, with achievements such as..

• the 180mm suspension travel
• the integrated display in the stem for aesthetics and functionality
• the world's first suspension control – an electronic assistance system that is setting standards internationally
• the e:i shock system, which independently recognizes current route profiles and adjusts the rear shock accordingly within a tenth of a second
• Design elements, such as the double kink in the top tube
• skidPlate, which ensures optimal protection of the motor with an angled damper channel
• the Gravity Casting process, which allows for the production of particularly stable components
• the innovative "rotated" motors (engines elegantly positioned under the Fox damper)

There are plenty of other advantages compared to other e-bikes or pedelecs

The center of gravity of Haibike e-bikes is in the middle of the bike and not, as is usually the case, on the rear wheel.

Industry experts know exactly why Haibike received the DesignAward, one of the most internationally renowned design awards, for its Xduro RX. When it comes to visual optimization, these sleek bikes are hard to beat!

With all the pioneering achievements mentioned, Haibike is further fueling the e-bike boom, which now reaches almost 100 percent capacity with its..

Haibike E-Bikes: A masterful symbiosis of tradition and innovation

With other manufacturers, you sometimes get the impression that the battery or the motor look best when well concealed. Sometimes the design leaves something to be desired. In contrast, Haibike has managed to perfect the visual integration of e-bike-typical features without giving the impression that they want to hide them. Quite the opposite! They are visibly proud of the "E", deliberately showcasing modernity and combining tradition with neoteric chic. Haibike is a self-confident brand for self-confident bikers.

At the same time, the manufacturers offer improved options for converting and upgrading the bike by means of various refinements in the frame design, thus allowing a certain degree of individuality where other manufacturers in the industry leave little or no leeway.

Haibike's extravagance appeals even to skeptics. After all, everything extraordinary arouses our curiosity, and curiosity is something we should definitely retain from our childhood. It keeps us alert, lets us experience things, keeps us young – there's no arguing with that.

If what we see, what attracts us, ultimately keeps the promise of what we want to be convinced of, we are and remain enthusiastic – enthusiastic about Haibike!

Haibike: A synonym for top performance and trust in the world of e-bikes

Don't worry, Haibike only devours challenges and limits – which ultimately benefit us cyclists, after all, Haibike has long since established itself at the top of the world.

Sometimes the developers are rewarded with the title "MTB of the Year", sometimes they receive praise from the USA, where Haibike's masterpiece, the Haibike SDuro Fullnine 8.0, was named "eBike of the Year", and sometimes they receive the report regarding the Germany seal: chosen with "the highest level of trust" - in a study of 168 million customer reviews, the largest study on the topic of customer trust from a consumer perspective, you can only do right by buying a Haibike.

In fact, it is something unique to be able to attract attention with a total of five iF Awards.

Of course, Haibike's success story also has an impact on test results and experience profiles on the internet: Only good reviews ultimately convince many potential buyers to make a purchase.

The 250 employees and the development team in Schweinfurt can be pleased about this. They can be confident that further successes will not be long in coming, because – to come back to the sea creature – shark teeth are constantly growing back. With their proven stamina and tireless inventiveness, the developers will continue to break down apparent barriers and fight their way through the market of many e-bikes – and remain at the top of the best.

Two big names behind Haibike – and many more to come..

Sabine Spitz, the exceptional talent among female mountain bikers, has been riding at the top of the world with Haibike for 4 years and has already won silver in the HaibikeProTeam at the Olympics.

Maximilian Semsch undertook the longest tour, circumnavigating Australia on his XDURO. With 16,047 kilometers, his Around OZ tour is the first and longest tour in the history of the modern e-bike. Under extreme conditions and despite 30 kilos of luggage, both the riders and the load capacity of his Haibike were amazing.

Because of the individual demands: significant differences

If you are sporty and/or performance-oriented, then the X or S is the right choice for you.

• The designation XDURO stands for e-bikes with a Bosch drive system. The X also stands for "Xtrem" – this is where everyone who wants to test their limits on tough trails gets their money's worth.
• SDURO refers to Haibikes with a Yamaha drive. The S stands for a sporty driving style. On dirt roads, off-road, in other words, for all touring and trekking bikers, this series is a real pleasure.

Roughly speaking, the portfolio offers a choice of four categories: fully, hardtail, cross and trekking.

Haibike also has a total of 37 models to offer in the newly developed E-Performance XDURO² range.

As the rapid development continues in terms of technology and content, we at Haibike are already looking forward to many more surprises!
