My new bike has Shimano EP800 motor and firmware 4.1.5 I see 4.1.6 is out, do we know what capabilities are released or removed with 4.1.6? Recent releases removed access to some key features, e.g. market settings, so I am not sure if I should even bother [emoji2369]

Finally my new TK01-RR has landed. Now is the hard part, letting go of the trusted MIG-S. Anyway, I will post my observations as I get to know the gen II bike, however I wanted to share with you, my first impression as I assembled it this evening. The Ducati gen II (made by THOK) is a well...

I just got my quarterly Christophorus (398) Porsche magazine 1/2021 and there it is! Details are sketchy at this stage, but the frame looks rather intriguing. I guess I will have to call my local OPC and check availability, before local footballers find out [emoji41]

Thread on what we want, rather than what have we bought ;-)

What is your best riding underpant? I am looking for the support and correct positioning of the family jewels and less concerned about padding the bum-bones. If you have seen Rick Gervais talking about ageing and floating objects in the bath, you will know what I am talking about.

Is anybody from this forum planning to ride BHF in September? It’s ~60 miles, so we will have to plan properly. Either motor in on-off, or spare brick. What would be your strategy? Pit-stops, fuel, batteries, settings, tyres, ... hot chicks in bikinis? I have Martini Racing helmet, just need...

What brake pads do you use? What stopping power results and what mileage are you getting? I had my OEM brake pads replaced after 800km and new set last just over 200km. The LBS told me they fitted a better quality pads. I am not convinced. The last 200km were in worse conditions, but 4x the...

What physical exercise do you do to supplement your riding? I do TRX in the morning: squats, push-ups and pull-ups. TRX MILITARY FITNESS WORKOUT It helps me stay fit and regulate my weight, especially in winter.

I pulled-out unintentionally one of the connectors going into Shimano speedometer unit. I caught it, when I was lifting my eMTB over a fence in the woods. Now the connector is loosely fitted and the motor cuts-out on a rough terrain. I will fix it over the weekend, but before I do that, I...

What is your best jacket and long pant combination for wet and cold riding? It’s my first winter season and it’s time to get ready. I don’t mind getting wet, as long as the fabric dries quickly and keeps warm. I am thinking of the sharkskin / softshell type clothing to keep warm and allow for...

So my journey with the eMTB begins. I have done fair amount of Interwebs research, I test drove two bikes, Merida and Focus. I didn’t want what was in stock and I decided to buy online, while GB is still in the EU market. Since most of premium eMTB’s are made in Taiwan, I soon realised that...

What is the best mobile phone mounting bracket, you have on your eMTB? I have a mobile phone bracket with a four point clamp. It works well on an even road, but not as well in the woods or on rough terrain. I hear good things about Quad Lock from a road cyclists, but not sure how well it works...

Do we have a Buy/Sell forum pages? I am thinking of getting a second hand (low mileage) “garage queen”, tinker/modify it without compromising warranty, then only buy new! I looked on eBay... loads of (sponsored) new bikes advertised by shops and very few private buyers.

Three questions: 1. How many e-MTBs have you had, since you got electrified? 2. What did you start with and what is your current ride? 3. What are you planning to upgrade to? I am asking, as I am thinking that if I will make a tactical error with my first e-bike, maybe I should buy a second...

Finally, in my 50s I decided to go to the dark side and get myself an e-MTB [emoji41] I have read few posts on this forum, I see that the folk are friendly bunch and willing to share good intel, so I decided to register. I currently ride a 5-yr old Merida BigNine 500 hard-tail. It served me...
