    EMTB prices are plummeting.

    Just saw this Merida E160 675 for AUD$4999. That's €3000. US$3500. £2600. And it's available in all sizes with plenty of stock. And it's a quality Enduro build, with 170/160 suspension travel. It's 43% off it's retail price. I'm guessing this is the Avinox effect. Take a look at the spec...

    Experimenting with Rear Hubs

    I have started building my own wheels and I want to experiment with differing rear hubs to see if there are alternatives to the mainstream hubs. I am currently running Kooser XM490. They are a 6 pawl, 4 fully sealed bearing hub and have worked really well over the last 5 years I have used them...

    Amflow PL Carbon Pro Dream Build. The Liberace Edition.

    EMTB Upgrade. Amflow or EP801 ? Your opinions desperately needed.

    So folks. I'm at a crossroads. I am just loving the Technical Climbing that comes with an EMTB. But the one thing I hate, is when the bike stalls when you are cresting an obstacle. This is because you usually can't reach to put your feet down, because of the bike angle. And you topple over...

    Converting Shimano Di2 12 Speed Hyperglide to Di2 11 Speed Linkglide on EP600 or EP801 for Autoshift

    So I'm changing my Merida EMTB from Shimano Di2 12 Speed Hyperglide to Di2 11 Speed Linkglide, so that I can get Autoshift and take advantage of the 300% longevity upgrade, that the linkglide cassette and chain will provide. Obviously 12 Speed Hyperglide sits on a Microspline Hub, and the 11...

    3 inch Phone as a EMTB Bike Computer

    I've been using my Pixel Phone, running the Shimano ETube Ride App, blue toothed to my Shimano motor, as a bike computer. It works really well, giving motor, heart rate, and ride statistics. It also directly links to Strava as well. But when I'm on really technical trails, it gives the phone...

    Range Extender or Spare Battery

    I have some friends who go out into the wilderness on long rides, and camp overnight in Alpine regions. I want to join them, but need to ensure I don't run out of battery, as the return ride can be brutal without assistance and a full load. Quite dangerous to get caught out and it gets dark...

    The EBike Riding Data Thread

    I'm mad about Data. So I had a look and I couldn't find a thread that focussed on people just posting data from their rides. So I took it upon myself to start one. So feel free to post Ebike ride data in here, and explain how you are using it to achieve your goals. I'm using the Shimano Etube...
