    Merida eOne-Sixty angleset

    No reason it won't. There's always a way but I'm not sure I understand why you think there might be a problem runnning an angle set?

    Battery range on 500wh not what I was hoping

    I finished the Epic at Mt Buller (Australia) on one Shimano 500wh battery. Zero bars by the time I got back to the carpark at the bottom. Trip was about 45km's with fair bit of climbing before the final decent. I was probably about 110kg's kitted up at the time and super unfit but used eco 90%...

    Less travel, same weight, double cost and same rear triangle meaning no Hope calipers. My wallet was sweating during the teaser video but is now relieved that I'll be keeping my 900E a little longer.

    Sorry didn't notice your post till now. I probably wouldn't use an angleset if you're going to use a 29" on the front. The 1.5 Degree on mine has made it harder to navigate tight steep rocky switch backs but I don't like riding that stuff anyway. For the downhill it has improved stability and...

    Warranties are subject to each manufacturer. Eg. The motor shits itself then Shimano will replace it. Frame cracks then Merida replaces it.. etc. If you want to keep those butter rims then I'd suggest a foam insert (DIY or off the shelf). I personally run carbon rims with 40mm backer rod and...

    Do you mean lever (grips)? Shimano levers are the all the same. I've tried nearly all combinations on Shimano and there's no difference. What I have discovered though is that I prefer to pair Shimano levers with Magura calipers... Shigura!

    Yes it was initially discounted. The Meta is not cheaper in Australia though. The Meta Power Race (2018) and 2019 Meta Power Essential ($7199) is still more than a 2019 Merida eOne Sixty 900E ($6849). The only reason I'd buy a Meta Power now is to be different to everyone else that has a...

    Are they similar priced now? I was in the same boat but the Merida was way better value at the time. Their Meta Power promo was the first ebike video that was good. If it was now, I'd still consider the e-One-Sixty and Meta Power but I'd also put the Norco Volt into that mix. 27.5 for fun...

    Another Aussie Hello!

    You must be good at what you do. I'm a teacher so not that hard to find work really unless I'm looking for permanent ongoing. Then that becomes an issue in places like Mt Beauty where teachers spend their whole life there. I basically have to wait until someone carks it.
