Haibike designers are really drunk monkeys with crayons…..
Is that for ladies (or anyone for that matter) with dresses that want to shred the trails or something?
Holy crap Batman!!Thats the low step model, which is a good idea for someone who requires low standover. The regular AllTrails look normal(ish)![]()
Rapha is releasing the trail dress soon. Haibike is ready.Is that for ladies (or anyone for that matter) with dresses that want to shred the trails or something?
You can see a lot of thought has gone into the engineering, so it's a shame it ended up looking like a cheap catalogue frame.Well that’s unexpected the Deviate Kurgan, hmmmm
It is those fat approaching vertical looking downtubes. There isn't much that can be done to make that design choice look pretty.Not good.

Cabling routing is also awful. After the awesome gutter on their other bikes the cable loops all over the place. I do like the modular dropouts. Maybe an email to Ben at Deviate to re-think the looksIts nearly like they had 'must have' boxes to tick, 2 of them being -
Then shaped the bike around them. Not an aesthetically pleasing bike at all.
- Battery must be removable
- Must fit 2 water bottles
One bottle would have been fine and like a lot of others, motor removal to slide out the battery or side removal instead of the pregnant-hunchback look.

IMO 100% of full power eeeebs are ugly AF. This is not the worst looking one I've seen.
