Thank you. Can you point to some threads or discussions around using a standard hub on an e-bike?

But Mavic also sell e-bike specific wheels like the e-deemax - these come with the Mavic hub rated for ebike use. The deemax dh ylw come with the standard hub not rated for ebike use (according to their website). Could this hub reliably handle the torque? What are the differences between the...

Specifically Mavic Deemax DH wheels - can I use these on my cube ONE77 hybrid? Is there much evidence of people using standard mtb hubs/wheels on their ebike without issue? I have the gen 5 bosch 120nm, concerned I will blow up or destroy the hub

I have swapped a few parts off my analogue bike (which I haven’t ridden since buying this… but will get around to doing!). I want to get a matching 27.5 rear wheel / but they don’t come in an e-bike version. Could I run the regular Mavic Deemax dh rear wheel? Or the hub is not strong enough?

As of today up to 110km and 2500m of vert - in 4 days ive ridden double what I’d do in a week on the analogue bike, and I barely feel fatigued!! Tomorrow I’m going to see how far I can get range wise. Yesterday got down to 20% battery in 1hr 40 minutes (turbo whole time). Started to understand...

First impressions - loved the bike immediately even though set up was off (too soft, also shop cut the dropper cable super short so couldn’t get the post quite high enough). Geo feels great, confidence inspiring. I like how low it is and feel like that added to the sense of stability at speed...

Picked it up last night, my first eeb. Maiden voyage this arvo. Forks feel a bit naff but we’ll see after break in. So pumped

Thanks for all the replies ^ Sounds like a solid choice. It's only the base model HPC 800 but it's $5,700 aud or $2,995 gbp - so plenty of room to upgrade things in future. I'll be sure to post a pic here once I pick up the bike! Very excited.. Bit torn on colour, they have the willowgreen...

I am seriously considering a ONE77 as my first e-bike (looking to purchase locally on Monday, big discount). I was set on a merida but that has the Shimano ep801 with 85nm max, this isn’t much more and has the 120nm Bosch. How has everyone’s bike been holding up? Has anyone racked up 5-10...

Well done @Greg Watts ! You are a very useful bot. Keep up the great work.

Hi @Greg Watts I want to buy this is my first e bike 2024 Merida eone-sixty 675 with the shimano ep801 motor. What are common issues with this bike? How many km will I get from the ep801 motor before it needs replacing or rebuilding? I am over 100kg and ride around 4000km per year. Should I...

Don’t tease us, what bikes did you buy!

Hey, thanks for reply. Good to know you’re perfectly happy with 85nm. Sounds like it suits you, in that you aren’t in a situation where you’re riding buddies regularly drop you on climbs - I wonder if someone in that situation would feel differently. I only ride solo, I just had such a great...

I’m struggling to understand this comment, why are they cute little toys? Because they don’t have a bloated down tube and weigh over 25kgs?

I am in the exact position as your mate, in the market my first e-bike in Aus and now torn between something like this for $5000 or an $9000 teewing

@Greg Watts my options are - 2025 Merida e160 675 for $4999 aud - 2026 Trek Rail 5 for $6999 aud do you think the $2k premium is worth it for the Bosch unit? The Merida also has better specs (besides motor)

Is there anyone over 100kg who is perfectly happy with their 85nm unit? I'm in the market for my first e-bike, and there are half price bikes around with the shimano ep801 unit. Or for about a 50% premium I could get a Bosch Gen 5 equipped bike (M2S is out of price range right now). Would I...

Hi @Greg Watts I recently test rode a Trek Rail Gen 5 with the updated Bosch unit giving 120nm. I am 105kg and really appreciated the speed at which I could self-shuttle up loose gravel climbs. How much slower would I be on a shimano ep801 with 85nm? Would I regret buying an ebike with the...

I just went for my first e-bike ride this month (after mountain biking for 20 yrs) - on the trek rail with 120nm. I am 105kg (6’5) - I would put myself in the class of someone who wants more than 85nm

@Greg Watts what are common issues with the Bosch CX Gen 5? Have there been many warranty cases?
