Haibike SDURO HardSeven Life 2.5 Street 2019 Ladies Electric Bike
A hybrid electric bike that will serve you well on road and moderate trails alike, the Haibike SDURO HardSeven Life 2.5 Street is equipped for the Great British weather and evening riding as well – which makes this a very good commuter that is capable of the byways and back lanes as well.
SDURO vs XDURO
In recent years Haibike have decided to make it easy for the rider to choose between its lines of electric bikes. The XDURO series is for people who take riding seriously and won’t want to be left out in the rankings. Meanwhile the SDURO series is for those who may still be fit as a fiddle but are more weekend mud warriors than people who eat, sleep and breathe riding.
Life!
Men and women are built differently, and Haibike have recognised this in building a line of electric mountain bikes that suit the woman without adding extra weight or making for any lower quality in the saddle as so many of the German company’s rivals seem to manage. The Life range is a real step up from those bikes that merely have a lower crossbar for you.
Who’s this for?
Let’s face it – chunky bikes have a greater presence on the road than road bikes. This is more like driving an SUV than a road machine and can give you a bit more confidence as you traverse the urban jungle. If you do want to do some lighter cross country rides too, this won’t let you down.
OK, so tell me more!
Built as a great all rounder, the Haibike SDURO HardSeven Life 2.5 is able to tackle road and trail alike in some comfort. Whether commuting or having some fun in the countryside this is a bike that can be ridden year round.
The 10 speed Shimano Deore M6000 gearing systems runs over an 11-42 tooth cassette, allowing you to tackle even those more daunting climbs without breaking a sweat (unless you’re conserving battery!).
For those lumps and bumps the 100mm, SR Suntour XCM ATB, steel spring front shocks allow for a comfortable ride. Braking and speed control is with Tektro M276 hydraulic brakes that use 180mm rotors – ample in most riding scenarios.
On 27.5” wheels, Continental Double Fighter III tyres are great for road riding and for less challenging off-road riding.
Very important for a hybrid bike is the full rear and front mudguards that will keep you and the components on your machine free from those muddy patches (and road dirt) you encounter on your travels.
400Wh battery, Yamaha PW-SE motor and Side Switch display
This bike comes with a Yamaha 400 watt hour battery that is ample for medium length rides where you’re not embarrassed to ask for the odd push of full power as you get about. Rechargeable in just a few hours, you can plug it in in the evening and have a full battery for your next day in the saddle.
The Yamaha PW-SE is a development on the tried and tested Yamaha PW motor and delivers just the power you need where and when you need it. Economical yet delivering just the right amount of power when you need it, this power system is perfect for road and trail alike.
The Yamaha Side Switch display is an LCD screen that shows all your parameters in one place so with just a quick glance you can see just what you want, be it battery life, power setting, speed or distance travelled. You control the power output of the motor with a flick of a switch from your right thumb
