Summary of the Haibike Radius Tour

Today, we’re exploring the Haibike Radius Tour, an intriguing e-bike that’s often labeled as a folding bike, but it’s more of a compact bike if you ask me. We had the chance to check it out at the Excel Group North America headquarters in sunny Simi Valley, California.

First off, the Haibike Radius Tour doesn’t fold traditionally, but it’s designed for easy storage with some neat features. The pedals, from VT, flip flat, and the handlebar has a nifty Speedlifter Twist Pro system that telescopes up to 150 millimeters and adjusts angles from -10 to 50 degrees. This allows you to flatten the bike for storage in tight spaces like under an RV or in a closet.

The bike sports a sleek matte black color and comes in one frame size, around 14 inches. It’s equipped with a high bike branded saddle and crank arms, with a 170mm length for a standard cadence feel. The 52-tooth aluminum alloy chainring and an 18-tooth rear sprocket paired with a Shimano Nexus Inter-8 internally geared hub ensure smooth shifting even at a standstill, ideal for unpredictable terrains.

One standout feature is the internally geared hub, which allows for shifting without moving, making it perfect for urban or hilly environments. The chain is kept tight and clean with a plastic cover, reducing the chance of it bouncing off or getting greasy on your clothes. The bike weighs about 49.2 pounds, which is on the heavier side for a compact bike, but this weight includes a 500-watt-hour battery.

Speaking of the battery, it’s a 36-volt, 13.6-amp-hour unit, providing ample power for city commuting. The Yamaha PW Series motor supports up to 100 RPM and delivers a solid performance for urban rides, although it’s not as sporty as other Yamaha models. The charging port is conveniently located but be mindful not to bump it while charging.

Safety and convenience are also well thought out with plastic fenders, an adjustable kickstand, and beautiful internally routed cables. The bike’s rigidity is ensured with an aluminum alloy frame and fork, minimizing rust and keeping it lightweight.

The Haibike Radius Tour is packed with practical features like a Busch and Müller LED rear light and a Kenda headlight powered by the main battery. The tires are Schwalbe Big Ben Balloon, offering stability and a comfortable ride with reflective sidewalls for added visibility.

Despite its compact nature, the bike feels sturdy and comfortable, even on bumpy roads. It’s priced at $3,000, which includes premium components, a high-capacity battery, and a fast charger. The display is user-friendly, showing essential metrics like speed, trip distance, and battery life in 10% increments.

Overall, the Haibike Radius Tour is a great urban companion for those needing a compact yet powerful e-bike. Its innovative design and high-quality components make it a worthy investment for city dwellers.
