    Vitus Mythique CYC X1 Stealth Motor Build

    Hello Rob, Always interesting and well made videos so look forward to seeing this one. I hope you having to have the xxxl size frame means more room for that battery. whatever happened to the V2 self build. Awaiting parts maybe?

    Unanswered Why do we need 12 speed on an ebike??

    I think the OP has a point here. But I dont see it as losing the big cogs. You could have a robust drivetrain and lose the 4-5 highest gears. Less bend on a thicker chain and more robust cassette of 5-7 gears. You would easily reach your 15mph with that still. Im interested in an Ebike for...

    Bafang M500 V2 vs Bosch Gen 4

    Good job testing in real world situation Rob. How something does on the flat or going slow is neither here nor there. I sometimes think something gets lost in translation with some of these products. Lost count of the amount of chinese products you try and find real user experience about and...

    Are pedal MTBs better at really rocky terrain?

    was she lightweight and superfit? Were you less so. bigger people climb worse. The EMTB can only do so much compensation. Plus the skill thing.

    Only one as far as I can see. But maybe refitting even though it was the newest store.

    Decathalon uxbridge store

    Does anyone know what has happened with this store. It opened recently but is now closed. Shame as it was really good the few time I was in there.

    My new 2021 Trek Rail 5 Purple Flip

    Liked the running review on youtube . Not sure the battery and key is that big an issue to a normal owner. Yourself you may have to deal with multiple bikes so it all adds up I guess. What about all the bikes you have to flip over and dismantle to get at the battery?

    Future EMTB: More power & range or lightweight (15-20kg)?

    Oops thanks, I probably read something in the past about it then a few years later imagined it was not thought of yet.

    Future EMTB: More power & range or lightweight (15-20kg)?

    A future Emtb not the future. An Ebike motor with a gearbox built in. Then a belt drive to the rear single sprocket. Easy cleaning and almost zero maintenance. I would think shimano boffins have one on the go as we speak in a secret lab. Same for other big names like botch.

    Bike prices up and why

    They must all be furoughed off work with no pay in the far east at the moment. Obviously they want to work and earn money so thats not permenant. I can see the whole battery/motor area being like a groupset . Maybe it already is. If we get through this pandemic era they will ramp up production...

    Decathlon stilus is coming back

    Great news. At a guess 2 stilus models probably means one with non big name components. Last model seemed very odd for decathalon sporting rockshocks and sram. You would like to think 625 batt is the new standard if you are paying over 3k at decathalon. Maybe in the short term Emtb prices have...

    Dengfu E10 - The CHEEB V1.0 - Discussion

    Bloody hell what a massive hassle it all seems. The hold ups and shortages seen here seem the same reasons mainstream shops dont have new stock. Like anyone normal is going to go through this planes,trains and automobiles show to get one. As for the limp motor I would imagine it is done for...

    Dengfu E10 - The CHEEB V1.0 - Discussion

    Eager to see how this is doing. Imagine lockdown doesnt help. Personally would not drop 2k just because someone put some parts together. Seems odd people say they will without even knowing much. Saw an interesting look video on how LOOK make carbon frames. Quite a complex slow process but oddly...

    Decathlon STILUS Full Suspension Electric Mountain Bike - SRAM SX

    Im a bit puzzled by this botch motor upgrade. Its obvious more torque would lower the range. Meanwhile we now have new emtb's that are sold on being lighter with a smaller battery but good range due to custom lower torque motor settings. If I had a bosch emtb at the time I would have avoided the...

    Dengfu E10 - The CHEEB V1.0 - Discussion

    Well done Rob. Have been watching the Youtube channel for a while now. I like this latest project of yours and am happy to see it play out as you will give an honest appraisal of the bike in actual use. At the end of the day they are just copying not developing from scratch so of course its...
