Hi everyone After much faffing about (new to all things emtb) I finally got my eagerly awaited range extender fitted to my bike successfully without the Factory X2 shock clearance hitting it. There was only bank card thickness clearance with the battery fitted with terminals “facing the head...

Hi, just received an eagerly awaited range extender battery for my Orange Phase Evo le and wondered what cable to use? The battery is mega close to the shock if the terminals face the head tube but it seems a 300mm “facing towards the mount” cable would be long enough if fitted this way. If I...

Hi, I saw a post on a FB page today from someone stating they’ve been unsuccessful trying to install the 120nm update. Then someone claiming to be from Bosch HQ in the UK chipped in stating due to the amount of UK registered emtbs being hacked to USA speed limits they will now be blocking the...

Hi fellow riders Huge apologies for my stupidity/ignorance on this query Irrespective of rider input,can ANY rider acess their e-bikes’max power and torque as long as they can spin fast enough? ie will you still achieve full power even if you have compromised leg strength but can still spin...

Hi I was absolutely stoked to get the chance of a brief demo today on the new Amflow px when I popped in to MTB Monster in Blackburn after driving 200 miles to visit an elderly relation. WOW WOW WOW What an amazing experience! The acceleration is off the charts and the motor is virtually silent...

Hi I don’t know if this issue is unique to my emtb but after I lifted my bike out the back of my car today I noticed the chain had managed to become tightly jammed behind the crank arm and chain ring. I had no way of fixing it trail side as I don’t usually carry a crank removal tool and had to...

Hi everyone I’m 63 and I have osteoarthritis in both knees and bought my emtb last summer to put the fun back into riding just like so many “mature” riders on these forums. I was recommended partial knee replacement by a consultant many months ago but worry if I’ll ever be able to pedal a bike...

Hi everyone Despite receiving the generic Bosch email about the 60nm update being available now I’m having no luck trying to download/install it to my bike. I’ve done reboots to my iPhone and mtb from the Flow app but when I view the download menu it says there’s nothing to update. Bike is a...

Hi everyone Don’t know if this has been asked before or what the reaction will be As availability and technology has evolved,do you regret buying a very expensive 15mph UK restricted emtb when you could have paid similar money for a Surron /similar drug courier type of bike for properly...

Hi As a happy current owner of an SX powered emtb for a year now I wondered if other owners/riders are still enjoying their bikes irrespective of the modest torque compared to other motors. I’m in my early sixties now and have been riding solo for the last 15 years ,therefore there’s no group...

Hi everyone Has anyone noticed if the aforementioned “updates” have actually happened today? Uk resident if that helps…. I’ve connected my bike to the Flow app three times today and the max torque parameter still remains at 55nm not 60nm Does the update appear within the app-have I missed...

Hi everyone As someone late to the emtb scene, last year I took a short “car park demo” on a (box new) Trek rail gen4 and I genuinely had to grip tightly to the bars to stop me falling of the back such was the acceleration from standstill in turbo,it was that brutal! Fwiw I’m no featherweight...

Hi everyone My Orange Phase Evo LE came fitted with Continental Kryptotals from new as opposed to Maxxis tyres. I queried this with the supplying dealer and they explained that sometimes the manufactures will fit on whatever (available)stock they might have as an alternative. As a goodwill...

Hi everyone For any Orange bike owners/lovers out there….. I overheard (off the cuff) a few days ago ff Bosch powered Patriots are all sold out and no longer produced and word is DONT rule out a future replacement model having the DJI motor fitted. You may be aware just how quickly Orange can...

Hi folks Hope you like my modified Orange emtb I know they have a “marmite” reputation looks wise but you need to let the ride experience change your opinions. Newly purchased gloss orange FOX 36 grip2 160mm fork to match the frame,customised 27.5 carbon wheel set,35mm stem and carbon bars and...

Greetings everyone I was considering fitting my carbon rimmed wheel set and 2.4 high rollers from my non emtb onto my emtb for general XC trail use as well as going 11 speed too. Fwiw I’m currently on hope pro 5 hubs/Stans Flow mk4 and Kryptotals 2.4 front and rear.An excellent set up but...

I just wonder why everyone and their granny appears to or needs to ride as if they’re on a World Cup qualifying run when doing bike reviews? I also cant get my head around watching riders seemingly accelerating from a standstill to what appears like 50mph after 4 or 5 pedal strokes even on...

Hi to you good people I returned my unused Whyte e160s for a refund in July as my wife just couldn’t get to grips with the sheer weight of it.What a cracking bike otherwise that ticked MANY boxes. Due to security reasons it had to reside in our house and she couldn’t physically move it around...

Having just found out the Bosch Gen 5 motor has the same 2bolt mounting as the SX it got me wondering if it would be a straight physical swap in the frame on my SX powered bike and would the existing wiring plug straight in? It would be a fantastic upgrade without having to buy a FF bike if it...

Hi As an experiment I recently swapped my Phase Evo 29” front wheel and tyre with a 27.5 wheel and tyre and can’t believe how good it feels so far. Having come from years of (normal) mtbs with less aggressive geometry it was a bit of an eye opener to now be riding an emtb with a 64 degree h/a...
