Hard tails are good for riding on light off road terrain. Some prefer the handling characteristics of a hard tail bike as it's rigid and you can feel the trail more underneath you. Whilst some prefer to use a full suspension bike for a more comfortable ride.
Let's not forget that a hard tail can easily be used on the road too. Ideal for someone who wishes to commute in the week and also hit some trails at the weekend. Although not specified, we can also fit mudguards, racks and lights to a hard tail as an effective; more stylish looking commuter. Larger 700c or 29" wheeled bikes tend to be better suited for this.
24" Wheels
This wheel size is only featured on our kids hardtail eBikes. It's great for smaller riders as its close to the size of adults bikes giving a great ride, but it's stll easily manoeverable for fun in the woods!
27" Wheels
The mountain bikers tyre of choice for everyday trail riding, with all manoeuvrability of a 26" but with fast rolling characteristics of a 29". See it as the middle ground, you can't go wrong.
29" Wheels
Suited for XC and faster rolling riding, 29" tends to roll faster, cover more ground & go over obstacles easier. With slightly less tight handling in windy sections. Also well suited to taller riders.
Help & Advice
I ordered a Haibike Hardseven on Sunday evening and I received the bike on Tuesday morning. I had expected to have to wait at least a week! It was very well packaged and easy to do the final bits of assembly. The bike is great fun to ride and makes light work of even the steepest inclines. Highly recommend e-bikeshop and the Haibike.
