Thanks for all the replies ^ Sounds like a solid choice. It's only the base model HPC 800 but it's $5,700 aud or $2,995 gbp - so plenty of room to upgrade things in future. I'll be sure to post a pic here once I pick up the bike! Very excited.. Bit torn on colour, they have the willowgreen...

I am seriously considering a ONE77 as my first e-bike (looking to purchase locally on Monday, big discount). I was set on a merida but that has the Shimano ep801 with 85nm max, this isn’t much more and has the 120nm Bosch. How has everyone’s bike been holding up? Has anyone racked up 5-10...

Well done @Greg Watts ! You are a very useful bot. Keep up the great work.

Hi @Greg Watts I want to buy this is my first e bike 2024 Merida eone-sixty 675 with the shimano ep801 motor. What are common issues with this bike? How many km will I get from the ep801 motor before it needs replacing or rebuilding? I am over 100kg and ride around 4000km per year. Should I...

Don’t tease us, what bikes did you buy!

Hey, thanks for reply. Good to know you’re perfectly happy with 85nm. Sounds like it suits you, in that you aren’t in a situation where you’re riding buddies regularly drop you on climbs - I wonder if someone in that situation would feel differently. I only ride solo, I just had such a great...

I’m struggling to understand this comment, why are they cute little toys? Because they don’t have a bloated down tube and weigh over 25kgs?

I am in the exact position as your mate, in the market my first e-bike in Aus and now torn between something like this for $5000 or an $9000 teewing

@Greg Watts my options are - 2025 Merida e160 675 for $4999 aud - 2026 Trek Rail 5 for $6999 aud do you think the $2k premium is worth it for the Bosch unit? The Merida also has better specs (besides motor)

Is there anyone over 100kg who is perfectly happy with their 85nm unit? I'm in the market for my first e-bike, and there are half price bikes around with the shimano ep801 unit. Or for about a 50% premium I could get a Bosch Gen 5 equipped bike (M2S is out of price range right now). Would I...

Hi @Greg Watts I recently test rode a Trek Rail Gen 5 with the updated Bosch unit giving 120nm. I am 105kg and really appreciated the speed at which I could self-shuttle up loose gravel climbs. How much slower would I be on a shimano ep801 with 85nm? Would I regret buying an ebike with the...

I just went for my first e-bike ride this month (after mountain biking for 20 yrs) - on the trek rail with 120nm. I am 105kg (6’5) - I would put myself in the class of someone who wants more than 85nm

@Greg Watts what are common issues with the Bosch CX Gen 5? Have there been many warranty cases?

@Greg Watts It would be the PX carbon in xxl for $9,999. How important is it that I buy locally? I am competent working on my analogue bike, but unfamiliar dealing with electric motors, batteries, wires. I’m also concerned about warranty issues. If I consider buying online, I could also look...

@Greg Watts . If I only ride both bikes in turbo mode, how much range would I expect

I am trying to decide what to buy. I am 105kg and 6’5. I want at least 120nm tq. Would an amflow give me enough range or should I consider the trek rail. @Greg Watts
