That is Alex. I've actually come to trust his views on motors more and more over time. The video editing is amateurish and could do with some work but the discussion is relevant. In a way, the amateurish editing shows that he is more interested in the content rather than being a YouTuber. I...

My EX9.7 has the black and white display. Comparing to the color one, I am actually liking the B&W display more; it's more subtle, less in your face! I mirror battery percentage and ride range to Garmin, so I usually leave the TQ display on the Watt output. Having watched that video, I'm...

POTUS does not give a sh*t about your recreational burden. "The vague and subjective standards imposed by these prior Executive Orders have created unnecessary barriers to recreation, energy and timber production, access to remote areas, and infrastructure maintenance." This is the only thing...

Of my 5 e-bikes I've had max of: 1) Specialized Creo (e-gravel) SL 1.1 - 240w, 35nm, 180% assist 2) Orbea Rise (eMTB) EP8rs - rs mode 350w, 60nm, 240% assist I also tried this unlocked at 500w, 85nm, 240% assist - I did not like it so I put it back to rs mode. 3) Ari Explorer Peak (eFat)...

No. I'm not a jumper and I'm allergic to getting off the ground LOL.

I got one, though I posted about it in a new post as this thread’s title stating (EXE) made me think of the last gen Fuel+. Anyway my first ride impressions. 2026 Trek Fuel+ EX 9 7 - First Ride Impressions

I just got a Trek Fuel+ EX 9.7. It’s the only model in our area (USA) that you can get at the moment without waiting until September. I always intended to get the LX 9.9 but was hesitant on cost, availability and it having the old Fox suspension on it. Also after getting a laugh, I’m not 100%...

I just got the Fuel+ EX 9.7 and that is the only model you can get at the moment in our area. I intend to change it into a more all mountain rig with the latest Lyrik and Vivid. I talk a lot about that in this video. 2026 Trek Fuel+ EX 9 7 - First Ride Impressions

(USA on 1 gb/s fiber) I was getting "reload" errors with Safari in iOS yesterday. I haven't noticed it with MacOS today.

I'm out of this thread now. I just did a 180 and I'm not waiting to see what the next batch of bikes are like. I just ordered a Trek Fuel+EX 9.7 which'll match my Lauf eElja for TQ system. Trek is local to me so local support will be nice. I'll strip the EX down to bare bones and transfer a...

180/170? I'm thinking this might be too much bike for my needs. I was looking for 170/160 bike at the top end for more of an back country adventure rig but one that can still handle big vert days. I might still end up on a TQ based bike though, but Orbea's integration is calling....

I asked Google Gemini to search for leaked images and got this ;) There are currently no genuine leaked images of a 2027 Orbea Wild featuring an Avinox motor. The internet is full of intense speculation regarding this bike, but here is what is actually going on behind the scenes: The Source...

That green looks more silvery than I would have thought. It looks nice, though that color is out of stock in size large currently. I'm currently debating on getting an LX (3-4 month delivery window so mid Sept) or seeing what Orbea comes out with for their new Avinox based Wild in mid June...

I've had e13 stuff on various bikes over the years. I've had cassette issues with the Helix and hub issues with the XCX rear but e13 was good in their support each time. I am wary of e13 products but I will not reject a bike with their components on it because of prior support. I might not...

On my Garmin I only get one power number which I assume is my leg input power. I do not get the motor output power.
