Reminds of when people used to write letters of complaint to Points of View (UK TV show for where people whinge about stuff on BBC)... Dear Anne, I sat through 90 minutes (random TV show) and was shocked and offended throughout the whole thing... I used to always think well why didn't you...

Sounds awesome, wish I was local. Hope you get a good turnout and nice weather!

90ish nm in TQ HPR60 size Solid state batteries Longer motor warranties, or at least readily available spares

I'm around 95kg and bought a EP801 equipped Rise LT in January. Couldn't be happier, although I mostly ride solo. Might be a different story if I had a bunch on Amflow/Bosch Gen 5 mates.

25 miles today, avoiding rain clouds. I never chase times but scored top 10, a top 3 and a KoM 👑

I use my Rise LT at around 45nm mostly, increasing to around 65nm for proper steep stuff. Can't remember the last time I used the full 85nm. The only appeal of full fat bikes for me is the bigger batteries, but then the bikes are generally heavier as a result and I dont want to ride a tank.

Just got home from a 30 mile ride around all 3 city parks, the beach and two rivers, with my daughter in tow.

I'm currently using 100% Airmatics and they're amazing. Super light, nicely cut and surprisingly durable (held up well when I slide on my arse down a big granite rock slab when I was checking if it was safe to ride down!). I haven't worn them in a full on downpour but they're certainly splash...

Is this to replace or compliment your current bike?

If you're riding MTB trails then Trailforks (app/website) is pretty good as users can submit reports on trail condition and if there are any issues (overgrown, fallen trees etc). For example: Not sure it would be much use for general riding, although the paid version does have route planning.

I'll dig it out of the box I threw it in, along with the attachments, and take some photos later.

I also bought a cheap one from AliExpress but can't figure out how to get it to attach to Presta valves. It appears to want to screw on, but the spokes would be in the way.

I bet it feels like a monster truck compared to the Specialized! Chop the bars a little bit at time and test it out, you can't add it back ;)

The amount of handlebar furniture a person has on their bike is inversely proportional to their riding skill. ...runs away

Very nice! I had an even older non-electric Mega and it was amazing bike. Glad to see Nukeproof making a comeback.
