Erm, all the above plus self-cleaning? ;)

Welcome @Vandal and best of luck with your eventual choice! Out of interest, where's your nearest trails?

Could've sworn it was Jet set! Had a 5 min chat with his doppelganger on an electric Kenevo then. Deffo no-one in the picture.

So @R120 , now that we've ruled out @JetSetDemo and @Tunny , do you know who's the chap to your right in the first group ride pic?

I'm third from left...the clean-looking, fresh-faced novice. Funny there weren't as many Levos then either!

Here you go (I hope). Join us! EMTB Forums UK Monthly Rideout - Sunday 1st July, Surrey Hills. - EMTB Forums

He's on the first group ride pic, second from the right (wearing FOX shirt)...

Apart from my ELEMNT holder shearing off, the only thing that hurt was my pride. Thankfully no-one was around to witness 3 dumb falls on the same hill! I'm going to nail that SOB when the trail dries. Looking forward to the next one...and figuring out the identity of the familiar first group...

Apologies! Now I need to figure out who I was chatting to who I met on the very first ride. That's the problem with wearing full face helmets; everyone looks the same! ?

So who was the fella who lost his iPhone on the very first ride? Case of mistaken identity then. Sorry.

No confusion with you. Jet set was taking a separate ride later with other mates (as if!?) so it was just coincidence I saw him. It was my prob entirely that I got separated and think I ended up following an entirely different group! I think you need to hold up some special EMTB Forums umbrellas...

Good point @steve_sordy about the 'special fitting' for the short cable. Thankfully I was shown by my local bike shop. My question regarding this is why don't they provide a closing magnetic thingummy (not sure what it's called) to seal it off when not in use? Seems like it could be prone to...

Now this Focus looks like an excellent one for the wishlist with the option of a free demo: Focus Jam2 6.9 Drifter 2019 Full Suspension Electric Mountain Bik £4,499.99 Anyone tested it or any thoughts?

As @Shaun stated in fact! (If you also happen to get a Wahoo ELEMNT GPS device and pair this to your ebike, this also gives you an audible and visual indicator of the battery status which is nice.)

As a TEC pack owner, I can confirm that it acts as a completely separate battery to the internal one when connected. Once almost depleted, the Shimano STEPS indicator turns red and, if left until depleted, will turn to an 'off status. At that point, you'll need to switch off completely...
