    Dartmoor e‐thunderbird CF

    Yes, I"m satisfied. 1400km behind and no problem. Changed chain yesterday, as shimano has stretched. Changed restriction to US, as 25km/h was to slow for my needs. Had several falls on jumps, but nothing happened to bike. I like it very much. If the price will drop, I can surely recommend, but...

    Would you buy a bike that can't be derestricted ?

    It has some sense at the end. On derestricted e-bike, any one who has no experience can go max speed, loose control and kill someone. On Road bike, usually pro riders with big experience, who knows how to control the bike can have enough power to keep going 45km/h. They have thousands of hours...

    Helmets

    Problem of Revolt, is that the ears are covered all the time, so ventilation can be impacted.

    Do's and Don'ts for e-bike battery care. What do you do to keep your battery performing at its best?

    Yes, Let's don't get to crazy about perfect care. Technology is to serve us, not the other way.

    Do's and Don'ts for e-bike battery care. What do you do to keep your battery performing at its best?

    @RJUK thats for your car. There are cars with LFP battery, not being impacted with 100%. For LFP you do not care, it can be full all the time. But yes, ebikes are mostly li-ion. LFP batteries can (and should, according to Tesla) be charged to 100% regularly,

    Ugliest stem ever award goes too

    This Gold one is designed by rider and it allowed him to win races by few seconds. Some other person who used it, achieved Personal Best on Strava on the trail. So beauty is somehow on 2nd place for some of us. But it cost 400usd [emoji1787]

    Semi skimmed or Full Fat

    I would say, if you do not ride jump lines and bike is most time on the ground, you do not need to carry it up stairs, go full fat with largest battery.

    Full Face Helmet drill down thoughts

    There are also uvex jeckyl hide and their latest revolt. Revolt has ears protected even After face protector removal, but this must imact ventilation somehow. Never used These two. I ride in Leatt enduro 4.0, as I found it best for me and it was in nice colors [emoji1787]

    Dartmoor e‐thunderbird CF

    I know this manufacturer is not super popular, but I"m exited to have this bike and wanted to share some pictures of it. Hope to find more owners and share experience of riding and tunning it.

    STUnlocker (ex Shimano STEPS Unlocker) Android & Windows App for derestriction/market change and etc

    So you want to say, you have derestricted on older motor firmware and then upgrade the firmware to latest version and derestriction stayed as was before upgrade? What is your GPS speed with this setup? Are you on 29 inch wheel?
