I've gone from a Merida e160 to an SL and have no regrets. I originally wanted an Obera Rise but the model I was after wasn't available until next year, and an SL came up secondhand. I was originally a little skeptical that the SL would be under powered but after riding it for 3 months I find...

I bought the Shimano EC-E6002 Battery charger to use in my campervan with solar panels, house batteries and sine-wave inverter. Works well with less current draw than charger that came with E8000 system. It does take almost twice the time to charge. Also very small so great to carry if doing an...

A friend had an issue with an external Shimano battery turning off when riding rough sections of track usually. He took it back to the shop and they replaced the battery. The issue continued. I had a look at it and found the top battery mount had moved and the battery was a bit loose. I was able...

I've been running a Minion DHR 2.6 in the rear for a while now and to be honest I have not noticed any downside. The 2.6 tyres are only around 5mm narrower and in NZ cost just over half the cost of its 2.8 brethren. I'm also using a DHF 2.5 29 in the front which I do like. The biggest difference...

It's Kirwans track near Reefton. This photo was taken if you carry on from the last hut turn-off and carry on up Kirwans Hill (note there was a bit of pushing to get up the last section). Enjoy!

Here is my e160 up an awesome track on the West Coast of the South Island of NZ. It turned out to be a perfect eMTB ride both ways.

My understanding of the "rules" here in New Zealand is that there is no speed limit but a motor power limit of under 300W. The Shimano 800 equipped bike by default had a 25km/h speed limit set. I used the bike with this limit for a few of weeks before the Shimano rep was available to change the...

I have also installed a new 180mm debonair air shaft (Rock shox). I do find as these have a larger negative air chamber the actual measure travel when the bike is just sitting there is about 175mm. I also fitted a lower headset cap to enable me to drop the bars to account for the forks extra...

A mate has a Kenevo and I have an e-Onesixty. I have been able to ride both on varying terrain. Both are great bikes. A very quick sum up would be do you want an enduro feeling bike?(e-Onesixty) or more of a downhill bike (Kenevo). The Kenevo doesn't feel as lively, this could be due to coil...
