I would like to map out the most common e-mtb failures you've personally experienced on your e-MTB (any brand, any year). Only first-hand experience counts. Multiple selections allowed. Feel free to share more details in the comments below. Please comment below with more details

I will wait to see 1) how much weight they add (probably not too much or nothing, considering the total weight of an e-bike), 2) how much added friction (again, probably not too much). I don't think cost and reliability will be an issue, but still... I will wait. It could be a disruptive...

The missing information are what you want to do with it, what's your fitness, your budget, etc.

Actually, with Mars' lower gravity (about one-third of Earth's) and much thinner atmosphere, cycling there could be amazing. You could launch jumps hundreds of meters long and tens if not hundreds of meters high. Even an old chap like me could pull off some impressive airtime! And with a 625 Wh...

Try the Thule pack'n-pedal. I use it on my FS Trek Powerfly since more than a year and it works very well. It is light and leave the suspension moving. Only issue: you have to tighten the screws time by time. It costs significantly less than the Aorere, unless you add the side frame for panniers.

The real "winners" :unsure: in this category are those no longer among us... 😳

What really matters to me on my e-MTB is having the right range, meaning a low enough gear for steep climbs and a high enough one for speed. Beyond that, the number of gears in between is relevant, but secondary. In fact, having too many gears can be a problem: it takes longer to shift through...

I suggest reading this article about the so-called Lime leg. This exemplifies exactly what I wrote below, about the confusion generated by this new category of "bicycle" and the vacuum of regulations it caused: A Londra hanno dato un nome agli infortuni sulle biciclette in sharing This...

Someone (or something?) may have edited the title of this thread, which has made it somewhat unclear. To clarify: €3,900 refers to the price of a new bike, not a used one. The original title mentioned an Olympia Explorer Edge CC16 It’s possible this change was triggered by some anti-spam...

IMHO, it depends on your physical condition. For me (67 years old, in good health and reasonably fit, but obviously nowhere near the level of a 20-year-old athlete), the biggest gear, or the number of gears, isn't the limiting factor. I can already climb until my eMTB loses traction and the...

let me also add that they offered me 2,200-2,300 € for my Trek (2100 km, 4 years old), if I buy another emtb from them.

Thanks, Sir... I am not yet fully convinced to make a change. My point is that my current Trek Powerfly Is getting old. However, I do not like to buy without an actual need. On the other side the trek was great when I was living in a rocky, steep island (La Palma, Canary Islands), but now, in...

@Greg Watts , what can you tell me about this e-mtb? They offered it to me at 3,900€. I am looking for a cheap travel / Gravel bike. Nothing stellar, something reliable to travel with it.

I wash my gravel bike and e-mtb only when they get REALLY dirty. First to limit damage, second because I do not think it improves their performance, and third... because seeing it dirty looks like I had a great adventure. :cool: Fourth because I'm lazy...

I successfully use Pack'n'pedal from Thule. It's expensive and screws must be regularly tightened, but it works on my Trek Powerfully FS, size L:

@philipcombs: try boxing. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUNMePaDQcy/?hl=en

Nice question... Trek powerfly 7 with Knox and Bosch Performance CX: Eco as much as possible. Off when on flat terrain. My aim is to do as much as possible exercise when I ride and last for the longest range. I consider the motor an assistant when my strength is not enough. I am in good health...

Popular opinion, I see, but it's contrary to reality of things. Regulations exist everywhere to protect the public interest. They're not always easy to write, enforce, or adapt to new situations, but that doesn't mean they don't work. Let me note that most of our daily behavior is shaped by...

I took it to a wonderful local bike shop: and had them give it a full service. I could have done most of the work myself, but I have far too much to do at the moment and with today's temperature hitting 36°C, I wasn't exactly eager to spend hours in the garage. They trued the wheels (which...

Reflecting on the issue, I believe that the current situation of e-bikes is rather unusual compared to the past. In fact, there are several aspects that do not align with the world of existing vehicles: high speeds on descents, low speeds on climbs both on-road and off-road use, on dedicated...
