I am looking at this bike vs the Felt DualE and leaning towards the Haibike primarily because it looks like the suspension is better. Did you look at or ride the Felt?
So how good is it? I've owned hard tails for the past 15 years (29ers) recently and have mostly rode local groomed trails (Boise). I'm also a dirt biker and I'm looking for a new experience on my favorite dirt bike trails where pedaling is just not realistic for any kind of fun. Could this thing go 40 miles if you're working moderately hard and doing 5K plus feet of vertical climbing?
Great videos.

Nice. I'm very keen to compare one of these to a Bafang+dual susp build...

Nice going with the purchase of that bike. Its nice to see the beautiful trails out your way and to see the bike being enjoyed. Sometimes I think the average home bike builder spends more time fixing and sourcing out compatable parts for our bikes than actually riding them. I realize not everyone can afford to plunk down the big bucks for a ride like yours but there is something to be said for getting something that works and is FUN to ride. Good on you!

Congrats on the purchase Marky, It looks so light, and that's some excellent riding AND camera/production work too!
I'd watch some first person pov rides for sure.
Enjoy brother!

I recently purchased an nduro Rx, took my first ride the yesterday, and haven't stopped smiling. It made me feel like superman, even in touring mode.
The Bosch performance drive is more motor than I need. Eco and touring modes most of the time. Sport mode for steep climbs and turbo if I get tired. Turbo mode is actually too much for me in almost all offroad circumstances. What sucks is when the motor cuts off at 20mph. I just ordered an ASA speed module. I don't anticipate ever going above 30mph and I think the cadence would be too high, but for me, having motor between 20-25mph is important.
People think these bikes are too expensive. Compared to a Befang on a 10-year-old DH bike, they are. However, the Bosch system is certainly worth 2k, the bike is designed around it, and you are getting it on a 3.5k-4k bike. It all works out to a reasonable value.
I'm building another custom mid-drive. All new top grade parts with a backpack battery. It's almost done. It cost about 20% more than my Haibike. It's meant to be a different experience, all throttle. I'll see how it compares for the fun factor. However, I fully expect technical singletrack riding will be better with the Haibike.
My only complaint is the welds. They could have double passed and made them more attractive and finished looking. The NS Soda Evo I built has such nice welds that vanish. I would have expected the better welds would have came on the German bike rather than the Polish bike, but the Polish win the weld war. Well, both frames are almost certainly made in Tiawan.
