About Haibike Lyke
The Haibike brand has been synonymous with exceptional e-bikes for years and the Haibike Lyke is no exception. This trail / all-mountain emtb takes the fun factor up a notch when you hit the off-road trails.
The frame design is elegantly crafted, representing technical progress with efficient kinematics. It's the lightest e-MTB in Haibike's lineup and impresses with its control even during sporty riding.
If you're looking for pure adventure to navigate through endless forests, the new suspension position and balanced frame geometry provide the perfect setup.
What Makes the Haibike Lyke Special?
The new concept of the Haibike Lyke not only saves weight but also looks fantastic. Its stylish appearance lives up to its promise and offers some new or revised features.
With the standard two-bolt holder Haibike no longer requires the modular rail system. The new design is better integrated in the carbon frame and gives it an even sleeker look.
The downtube is closed now in the new era and the motor's position saves weight. The battery can be easily removed by loosening two bolts.
The bike from the manufacturer in Schweinfurt leaves almost nothing to be desired when planning your next wilderness trip. It handles trails with aplomb and thanks to the Fazua Ride motor you'll conquer uphill sections with ease.
The Haibike Lyke comes in two variants: the Lyke CF and the Lyke CF SE, a special edition with even better equipment.

How Good Is the Haibike Lyke Light E-MTB?
We believe that the Haibike Lyke is the best Haibike bicycle... kidding aside, we love all Haibike bicycles. It's a versatile full-suspension e-mountainbike with optimized frame geometry. The improved look also brings a reduction in weight due to the new positioning of the mid-motor. Despite the Lyke's length, it offers exceptional agility in dense terrain.
Another trail bike option is the Haibike Alltrail with 140 / 150 mm of travel. This bike is ideal for relaxed weekend outings and you won't have to shy away from challenging sections. For even more control during your rides Haibike offers the AllMtn with 150 - 160 mm of travel, another excellent e-bike choice.
If you enjoy riding in remote areas with lots of vegetation, rocks and roots, you'll be better off with an e-enduro. Its increased travel of 180 mm provides excellent control on demanding trails, allowing you to navigate between trees with ease.
Haibike also offers a range of e-bikes in the trekking, cross, and kids categories as well as S-Pedelecs. Trekking bikes come with everyday features and feel comfortable off-road. They often include a luggage rack, light and a kickstand in the basic configuration. For younger riders Haibike has two models in their lineup, ensuring that juniors don't have to pedal manually.
For a more budget-friendly option consider the cross bikes, which perform well both on and off the road. However, you may need to make some compromises on accessories. For high speeds the s-pedelecs are a great choice, reaching top speeds of up to 45 km/h. Due to their high speed a driver's license is required.
