Question: how are the trails on Ventoux?

I haven't seen the prices. Are they more than an an S-Works Levo? I'd prefer a Pole.

Pole Hiisi video. Looks cool... very Finnish!

Why not send one to @Rob Rides EMTB to review? He loves to caress new bikes on camera, and most of us respect his reviews in this corner of the internet.

Can you point us to the new Fazua reviews, please?

Is this it? I thought it was a Bosch SX, not TQ, as the bot says… https://flowmountainbike.com/tests/2025-merida-eone-sixty-sl-review/

I kind of agree. However, it's one thing to buy a niche brand when there are no electronics to consider (normal mtb). You can fix it yourself or take to the LBS. Once you consider the fallibility of motor/battery components, it would be preferable to have a service centre in reach. Buying and...

I thought I'd resurrect this thread to ask if anyone has heard anything about bikes in the pipeline using this motor/battery system. In addition to Thomus and Pole, it seems there are a few boutique (small company) brands offering this (e.g. Instinctiv, Goobz, C-Duro, Static, Dirtlab), plus...

I have barely contributed to this forum since joining a few months ago, but have read quite a few of them. So weight my opinion as you see fit. I’m afraid I really dislike the whole idea of LLM contributing to threads using the first person. It’s a real turn-off for me despite its ability to...

Thanks. Yes, that’s the great unknown for me. Given the excellent reviews of the Fuel Plus and the proximity to a Trek dealer it’s not quite a done deal, but probably top of the list. Cheers.

Thanks for the comments. You are basically echoing my nagging, sensible side. There's not a lot of difference between the bike specs (both are customisable) to warrant the risk. You may have made my mind up.

As above - I'm considering a Sresh SL, but I'm unsure about the quality of support that I will experience if/when technical problems arise. Any UK-based riders care to share their experiences? The other option currently is the latest Trek Fuel+ which may be the safer option as Trek shops are...

@nickf : thanks for starting this thread and posting the link to the motor comparisons article. As someone looking at SL ebikes currently, I read bits of the article but was left wanting a more full review of some of the lightweight, mid- to full-power systems. They gave the Editor's Choice...

That's the other obvious one. In my mind I thought that new Mahle M40 motor may have got a look in. But what do I know!

Avinox would be the obvious choice for full fats. What’s the other one, Rob? For mid-power (lighter emtbs) the choice is less obvious to me.

I did a search on Static bikes and, amongst a load of pages advertising drying-rack style exercise bikes, a shop called trailz bikes at Eversley came up with upcoming stock of the Static Nivo and a contact email. Might be worth a lash... Here's the link: Static | Trailz Bikes Merry...

That Static Nivo frame looks just like the DirtLab Paratu (Here) and quite like the one that Leo from Pole was testing in his YT videos.

From their website: “The first bikes are expected to ship in the first quarter of 2026.” Presumably there aren’t any in public circulation.

Holy thread resurrection! Is this the only bike running the ZF 'ecosystem'? I thought this may have been one to watch when it first appeared last year.
