Haibike Xduro AllMtn RX first ride review

If the mere thought of e-bikes makes that one vein in the middle of your forehead start to bulge, then I highly recommend you watch this Brandon Semenuk edit instead of reading any further. Why? Because today we’re going to take a look at the Haibike Xduro AllMtn RX. It has 150mm of travel front and rear and rolls on 27.5″ wheels.

The complete bike retails for $5900 and is spec’d with Fox suspension, a KS Lev dropper post, and Shimano XT components. The build also includes a Bosch motor and Li-Ion 36 Volt, 400 wh battery.

While this may seem counterintuitive, it helps position the rider more centrally. This works because e-bikes are ridden differently than normal bikes. Due to the power assist, riders will spend the majority of their time in the saddle. Therefore the combination of a shorter top tube, slacker seatpost, longer head tube, etc. allow the rider to maintain the same upper body position on an e-bike as they would on a regular bike.

Where this philosophy breeds confusion is in regards to frame sizing. Rather than employing the conventional S/M/L format, Haibike uses frame heights. This is apparently common practice in Germany and indicates the length of the seat tube. In the future, they’ll be moving to more traditional sizing, but for now, it’s best to rely upon top tube length to gauge your size.

I ride medium frames that generally have a 23.5” (596mm) top tube. This placed me on Haibike’s size 46mm frame which has a 22.8” (580mm) top tube. Their largest model has a 24.4” (620mm) top tube, so riders over 6 feet should definitely try before they buy.

Awesome Small Business Ideas

HOME INSPECTIONIn order to be successful, you will want to establish contacts with real estate agents who can recommend your services to customers. The home inspection field is one where you will need to do constant updating of your education and knowledge. New products are constantly coming out on the market--if you only know about decks made of wood, you will not know how to inspect and assess the new materials on the market, such as composites that are made to look like real wood. Also keep apprised of all safety updates of materials and issues with things like off-gassing, carbon monoxide production, and other chemical precautions.
HOUSEHOLD ORGANIZERYou can choose either to do the organizing work or to come in to a home and consult on the things the homeowner could do to better organize. Have a portfolio of different organizational scenarios in different rooms in the home and talk with the homeowner about the style he or she likes. Create checklists and questionnaires to understand how the family uses the home. Are the kids wildly busy with after-school activities? Or are they usually home after school and want access to their toys? Do they share rooms? All of these things will help you tailor an organizing plan and become the family hero.
IMPORT/EXPORT SPECIALISTIf you don't already have work experience with importing and/or exporting, you will have a longer learning curve. You can start by learning the basics and hosting educational sessions to teach others what they need to know to get started in import/export. That alone would probably gain you your first couple of clients. If you keep going with educational seminars and expand your reach to outside your immediate region, you could probably develop a sufficient and ongoing customer base very quickly, but be careful not to outpace your learning curve!
INTERIOR DECORATORMarket your talents to building contractors. People purchasing new homes can often be overwhelmed with the choices and possibilities in home decorating. Design some questionnaires for each major element and each major room in the house. Find out how the homeowner will use the home--are there children? Pets? Does the woman of the house wear high heels? Do the home's residents neglect to remove shoes? How will each room be used? Where might task lighting and ambient lighting be most appropriate?
