Mostly, the frame seems to be an MTB-look alike, that is a big, heavy chunk of aluminum that should be used off road, but really can't cut it (for me). Possibly it's partially that the BBS02 seems more powerful. Bottom line, I can ascend some gnarly (for me) trails on the BBS that I can't on the Haibike. There's nothing wrong with the Haibike and if I hadn't already been riding the BBS for a year or so before I got it (knew the then owners of Haibike and got a smoking deal), I'd probably like it a lot more.
