You’ll NEVER GO BACK ,BWAHAHAHA!I’ve not got an ebike yet. I’m expecting a bouncing baby levo 4 later this month. It’ll be my first. I’m guessing it’s gonna be really good fun, but I’ll update after I get the hang of it
Well, you might, but for me, my Stumpjumper is a garage queen these days.

I went out on mine for a shortish ride of around 20 miles on Saturday and it felt very odd for the first few miles, having my legs doing all the work!
I was glad I took it because I met up with some friends and we rode to a pub along a canal. The lady friend doesn't ride and was on a 20 year old supermarket bike that had originally cost about 89 quid and rode it at 5 mph. The low speed handling of my ebike is very twitchy and the long (er) stem on my XC machine meant that riding so slowly was much easier.

What year is your enduro? Honestly you should take it for a spin down some trails if you've not rode it for a while, the muscle memory doesn't go but its hilarious, my 2016 650b one feels like a BMX in comparison to my eeb
2015
It is very light. It’s like jumping a kite.

I agree. I really like my eMTB but nothing descends and jumps like a good MTB.
