I test rode a Haibike "road" bike as well.

Very interesting animal.

But, weird that they spec two different hoods, because there is no front derailleur so they opted to cheap out and put on a non STI lever. Don't quite understand that. I didn't notice it until someone pointed it out, so maybe that's why?

Otherwise, classic Bosch speed and handling is nippy. But I was on super big frame so I don't think it represented what the ride would feel like if I was on a smaller, more appropriate size.

Also, I think they need to work on their component and cabling integration. The Bosch controller buttons are on the stem cap. Yeesh...awful placement.
