    Spectral:ON 630Wh external Battery (BT-E8016) upgrade possible?

    Did you change out the actual battery mount like Shimano requests? I want to get this battery for my Commencal. These pictures have answered several questions that I spent three days asking Commencal about.

    Unanswered Rear shock mounting position?

    Thanks guys, I was thinking that everything would be fine as long as there was no clearance issues. I just needed conformation from those of you that have way more knowledge than me.

    Unanswered Rear shock mounting position?

    I am hoping someone far more learned than I can answer this question. Does it really matter which way the rear shock is mounted? If a bike came from the factory with the Air Can mounted up near the top tube and the bottom near the seat tube, can you in theory switch it around? Will that mess the...

    The Commencal Experience!

    The Euro tune has the speed limited to 15mph. The USA tune is right at 20mph. I have 2019 Meta Power 27 Essential and a 2020 Meta Power 29 Ride. They are both the old style with the external battery but I don't mind that at all. I would like a larger battery but I have yet to come close to...

    Spank hub transformed my bike!

    I just went to Spank Industries website. You look on the left side of the page for their hubs and pick the type of bike the hub is for. Then the search sort of narrows down. The Hex Drive hub has steel "Bite Block" that helps prevent the cassette from eating the guides/grooves on the driver. I...

    Spank hub transformed my bike!

    Yeah, mine was definitely the low end version. I didn't have the funds for an Onyx or I9 like I really wanted. This Spank will do the trick for me and my riding style. Plus it matched up nicely to the Spank rim that came on my bike. I left the Formula hub on the front wheel alone.

    Spank hub transformed my bike!

    Yep, I did my research before I made my purchase. They are rated for Emtb's. Plus right this minute I am running the XD driver. I am not an overly aggressive rider so it may last for a while. Regardless, it is worlds better than the Formula hub that came on the bike. I have read and heard...

    Spank hub transformed my bike!

    I just wanted to brag on the new Spank Hex Drive Hubs. I replaced the junk Formula rear hub that came on my Commencal Meta Power 29. The transformation was immediately noticeable! The motor engagement was quicker and the MUCH higher quicker response at the pedals made my ride way more enjoyable...

    E Tube Project App question

    Does anyone know if the same E Tube Project App on one phone can operate two different bikes? I have two EMTB's and I want to know if the one app will program both bikes and not mess things up. Any advice would be very helpful.

    The Commencal Experience!

    So, I just wanted to give a huge shout out to Commencal USA and the office in Spain. My bike came with the Euro tune for some reason and I contacted Nicco at the US headquarters. He put me in touch with Benin Europe. Between the two of them my bike now has the correct tune. This has been the...

    STEPS Unlocker Android & Windows App for changing assistant/bike info and etc

    Hello from the US. I am going to pay for the app later on today on the advice of a fellow emtber. I just bought a 2020 Commencal Meta Power Ride and I think it is set to the Euro mode because it is limited to 15mph/25kmh. Can you tell me what else I have to do or buy just to set it to the USA...

    US model Meta with Euro tune

    So my Meta cuts off at 15 mph. I reached out to Commencal and they tell me that they use the US tune on their bikes, problem is mine stops at 15. Is there a solution to this that doesn't void the warranty or require a trip to a Shimano dealer? If anyone has advise I would appreciate it. Thanks.

    Battery upgrade?

    Hey everyone, I just recently bought my very first eMTB. A 2020 Commencal Meta Power 29 Ride with the external battery. Has anyone done or thought of doing the Shimano 630wh battery upgrade. I read on their website that you have to buy the upgraded battery mount to go with it. It supposedly will...

    Hello everyone, brand newbie from Virginia.

We are right on the border or the Virginia/North Caroline line. North of Greensboro. And the Ticks are horrible here. We...
