Love the app Rob, comes up with suggestions I might not have thought of. Can you get it to train on your brain because what we really want is your opinion: Zendit, Karve Evo or Dreadnaught E 😁

Only with a) fast swappable batteries b) gearbox Otherwise you drain your battery too fast and do more drivetrain maintenance, worsening your overall MTB experience

+1 for the Trek Rail. Sure it's not the most fashionable brand in the world, but they get so much right. Quick swap battery, amazing handling and balance. I have Ohlins coil, 180mm front and slacker head angle fitted and it's an absolute blast, fun and predictable. Most under rated bike out...

Has anyone done this yet, updated a US motor with latest 100Nm or 120Nm firmware in the EU? Does it retain US speed limit?

Don't forget rolling resistance... if you can sacrifice grip or casing thickness it will get you noticeably further

I like the irony that this will sell a load of DJI power stations... 😁

Question is, did you enjoy Risca? I think it (and surrounding valleys) is the best place ever

Yep, any venue in Wales e.g. Masts is 300m per climb. Turbo + quick battery swaps will roast any UK uplift if you're feeling up for it 💪 This is why I can't get onboard with a bike advertised as a "self shuttle rig" if it doesn't have quick swap battery. Caersws is the only UK place where I...

Quite, also the Gen 2 Kenevo nailed this problem back in 2019, we have taken a step back... 1hr30 for a 75% charge is not "fast", can we please call it "slightly less slow charging". Not to mention that anyone who has to lift their bike in/on a car or doesn't have charging near their bike will...

Interesting, so I'd love this bike, the Zendit or the Dreadnaught E (all of which have amazing names), but my reference is my girlfriend's Rail+. It is equipped with Ohlins/180mm front/-1deg cup so Enduro spec and the battery swap is 30sec. So where I'm struggling is in terms of number of...

Yeah fair everyone has different riding days. I guess my question is does anyone actually do this, charge every lap or take a big lunch out for charging or is it an excuse to not make the battery removable? I think the maths doesn't work out, you run out of time, but keen to know if people make...

Love the video as always Rob and the bike, but I'm not buying this charge at lunchtime nonsense. It takes 2hrs continuous flat out riding to deplete a Bosch 800. 2 batteries, which I regularly do, 4hrs but that's a big day so more like 6+hrs with breaks. In theory that's enough time to charge...

Yep, completely agree. Misses the mark as a DH shuttle bike if you can't swap the battery!

I'm with others: 100% gearbox. Standard derailleur arrangement is wholly unsuitable in this arms race. I destroy the whole drivetrain in 1000miles with Bosch, goodness knows how soon with Avinox, I'm sure other will have stories to share...

Just ride with no dropper and seat slammed. Who needs ergonomics with all that power anyway 😂

I had a similar problem on my Merida E160 last night. Powering it up for the first time in 8 months. It was stored in a dry environment, has a relatively new motor and battery, put away working. I pressed the on button, blinked green and nothing happening, nothing on the display... After trying...

Yep, I have 2. Trek sold me another cover as well so it had the bike specific hardware attached. Personally I like large because I've tested lighter batteries before and the difference in bike handling is minimal (and maybe worse if you have your suspension dialled into the big battery). But...

I think that makes a lot of sense. More grip has a double effect on making you feel comfortable through corner. Firstly there is the obvious effect of more grip, but secondly the extra rolling resistance means you enter the corner 1 or 2kph slower, which just makes everything feel easier. You're...

Fair comments, and I'm not going to pretend there aren't a bazillion unmentioned caveats. The raw run data looks pretty convincing though (happy to share). If I had to speculate I'd say that DD probably has less rolling resistance which makes it quicker at the start... this could also be...

Hey all 👋 I've kept you waiting a bit too long for this next instalment while I worked on some frame matching tech. Let me know what you think 🙏
