    Had a bit of a spill and have some questions

    Hi all, I had a bit of a minor spill last week; slid out on a gravelly turn and did some pretty impressive tissue damage to my elbow and knee. The former required surgery under GA to remove some foreign bodies from the wound and a short stay at hospital. Anyway, the whole incident beggared the...

    2nd-hand full suspension options

    Hi all, I'm looking to pick up a 2nd-hand factory refurbished from www.rebike.ch and have, for the moment, narrowed it down to the following: 2023 Ghost E-Riot AM AL: https://rebike.com/ch/ghost-e-riot-am-al-essential-fully-e-bike-2023-270831?number=270831&height=190 2023 Focus Sam2 6.8...

    Bosch Powertube connector configurations, what the hell?

    My Moustache hardtail (bought in February) comes packaged with a 500 Wh Bosch Powertube. The dealer at the time said the battery is configured with spacers, so I could easily upgrade to a 625 Wh. So this week I decided to bite the bullet and order a 625 tube, obviously taking careful note of the...

    Full-suspension recommendations

    Hi all, wasn't sure whether to post this in Discussion or here, but it is a question. I'm pretty happy with my Moustache 27.5" hardtail for commuting, gentle mixed rides with the missus etc, but I miss my 29" fully squishy experience. So I'm looking to add a fully to my stable, but wanted a few...

    Bosch PowerTube

    Hi all, my Moustache Samedi 27 OFF comes equipped with a 500 W Bosch PowerTube. What is the largest battery I could upgrade to? The shop said I could fit in the 625 W PowerTube, but can I go even larger, say to the 750 W? Or is the battery housing not compatible?

    Is this a good deal: Bulls Copperhead Evo AM 1?

    Hi all, I'm looking to buy a full EMTB to compliment my hardtail Moustache, which I use for commutes and longer tours, but feels a bit stiff on the trails. I've been looking at www.rebike.com (a German company that sells factory-refurbished Ebikes) and found this one...

    Clips or flats?

    Just out of interest, do people here ride with clips or flats on your eMTB adventures? I've always ridden MTBs with SPDs due to better stability and control and never really tried flats. What is your preference and why?

    West Kernow Way tours

    Hi all, having grown up in Cornwall, I was pretty excited to learn about the opening of the West Kernow Way cycling route in Cornwall. Does anyone know any reputable companies that provide guided (or non-guided for that matter) tours along that route, including accommodation, bikes, meals etc...

    Ortlieb quick-rack compatible paniers

    I hope I'm in the right place and pretty much as the title says. I'm going to order the Ortlieb quick-rack for my Moustache for commuting, overnight stays etc, but which panniers are compatible? I'm completely new to bike luggage etc, so are there different mounting systems, do I have to use...

    Assist, battery life etc

    Hi all, I have a couple of probably pretty basic questions on assist levels, battery life etc. Firstly, when an e-bike is rated "25 km/h", my understanding is that the motor will assist up to 25 km/h and anything above that is the rider, correct? In that case, cycling above 25 preserves battery...

    Turn off assistance?

    Hi all, new here and to eMTB in general, so please be nice ;). My Moustache Samedi is equipped with a Bosch Performance Line Smart system and a 500 Wh battery. Does turning off assistance on flats and downhills increase range significantly? I've done a couple of hilly-ish 45 - 50 km rides, (450...

    Joined the dark side ;)

    Hi all, a long-time "organic" MTBer who finally bit the bullet and picked up my first eMTB a couple of weeks ago. Originally from Devon/Cornwall, but will have been living in Fribourg, Switzerland for 30 years this coming May. My new ride is a Moustache Samedi OFF2 and I have to say, I'm very...
