Seems to be working fine. Replying from Tapatalk right now.

Now this is how you build a bike. I wish I had the skills.. Instagram: Dream bike build

Depends where you ride. On the roads, probably not. But on trails if you spin-out your rear wheel against something hard, you'll loose studs. And spin-outs are easier on emtbs.

Riding emtb 32km/h on a flat surface requires almost 250W of power, which is not "easy" for an average e-mountainbiker.

^ I'm using a bit lighter machinery. A bit of winter trail work.

I believe tires installed in s-pedelecs (assist up to 45km/h) must have some kind of certification. Maybe that's the reason for ebike warning?

Iso Moi! Good bike, enjoy!

Some airlines won't even allow ebikes without batteries. So always check before you fly.

RC3 Zebs seem to have the opposite problem, hard to use all the travel and getting it to bottom out. At least 180-190mm RC3 Zebs are very progressive towards the end of travel.

Renthal Fatbar 800mm wide with 40mm rise. I have it in all my bikes, past, present and future.

There is no motor resistance. You lose 100-500W of power from your legs and you are going to feel it. You need to be prepared for the cut off, drop a gear or two lower before the cut off and see it that helps. Also ride the jump line with the motor off and see how that goes. I've ridden my...

How is that extra 30mm ruining the ride? With emtb you don't have to care about pedalling efficiency. I like Pole's philosophy of having trail and gravity tuned platforms without being too hung up on suspension travel.

I ride my analogue bike assisted - lift assisted that is.

Renthal is available as black.
