Haibike SDURO Trekking 3.0 2019 Mens Electric Trekking Bike
With its Bosch Performance CX motor giving a real kick when you need it and a 500 watt hour battery for extra range, the 2019 Haibike SDURO Trekking 3.0 Men’s Electric Hybrid Bike is a machine that will get you up those hills over a good range. Equipped with mudguards and integrated front and rear lights the bike is a very good utility and fun machine.
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.
Trekking
Ranging from high quality hybrid road bikes to the more cross-country end of the electric hybrid and trekking end of the spectrum, the Haibike Trekking series is for those who want to carry a bit more with them on their journeys and may wish to travel in low light conditions.
Who are you?
As a good utility machine, you may want this electric hybrid bike to get around town or for car-free commuting. You may be new to the world of electric bikes and want a reliable, strong brand name in electric bikes for your rides. While good for utility it has panniers so you can perhaps fit a kiddy seat on the back for family outings. You could be older and want to get about, or younger and want to ditch the car for commuting. There are loads of other reasons you may want to buy this too!
Details, details…
The Shimano Alivio M4000 9-speed drivetrain runs over a 11-40 tooth cassette and should flatten out those hills on your route even without the Bosch motor! Slowing down and stopping is with Shimano MT200 disc brakes that are attached to a 180mm rotor on the front wheel and a 160mm rotor on the rear. Most of your braking force is on the front wheel – thus the size difference…
The 28 inch wheels on the Haibike SDURO Trekking 3.0 Mens electric hybrid bike have Schwalbe Road Cruiser tyres that will get you over less bumpy tracks but chew up the miles on the road. For the bumps, the 63mm travel SR Suntour NEX E25-LO front shocks have a lockout for different riding conditions.
Important for the utility aspect of this machine is the panniers, full mudguards and the integrated lights that are plumbed into the main battery so you can ride at night with one battery to worry about!
Intuvia display
Built for those who don’t want to worry about every single parameter of their ride this simple, clear LCD display tells you just the basics for your ride. Battery capacity and estimated battery distance, speed and power setting are all in one spot for you to see with a quick glance.
Bosch Performance CX motor
The 250W Bosch ePerformance CX is built with the trails in mind. It gives a little extra power at lower cadences for when you need that extra kick to get up to speed, while cutting out briefly during a gear change to protect the chain as you need to kick a little harder on those climbs. With a peak output of 75Nm of torque (up to 300% the wattage you put into the pedals) you can really shift when you need to, too!
500Wh battery
Your 500 watt-hour battery will give you a good 50 miles of mixed terrain riding – a lot more if you put more into the pedals and ask less of the motor! Batteries are easily swapped out using a special key so for a big day in the saddle you might want to carry another. They can be charged in just 2 hours using the supplied fast charger.
