I finally bit the bullet and fitted a set of (on sale)Easton e13 Helix 155mm cranks to my SX powered bike. 3 rides in and loving them as do my pedals. Great upgrade! I also bought a Saint front brake expecting a major improvement over the SLX’s but too many riders have said Saints are too grabby...

Hi, I saw a post on a FB page today from someone stating they’ve been unsuccessful trying to install the 120nm update. Then someone claiming to be from Bosch HQ in the UK chipped in stating due to the amount of UK registered emtbs being hacked to USA speed limits they will now be blocking the...

Hi I just read your post and empathise and relate entirely with you. Having recently been out riding my barely used pristine condition Orange FOUR all the negative things immediately came back-the extra effort everywhere and my arthritic knee pain resurfacing. I took a MASSIVE hit selling it...

What manufacturers or the sales people aren’t making clear to the “uneducated” is the fact that a weaker rider isn’t going to extract the quoted motor power figures.End of! Take some time to fully read my post and my apologies from the begining. I’m also not “uneducated” enough to realise that...

Currently I’d only consider fitting 155mm cranks to replace my std 165s mainly to eradicate a lot of the pedal strikes where I ride.I hit a protruding rock a f###ing belter a few days ago on a climb that stopped me dead.So far the motor seems unaffected.🙏 Good to hear shorter cranks helped your...

Thanks.This will be a very helpful reference if I ever buy an Avinox powered bike,but I’m confident by that time there will be the next even greater motor out from another manufacturer-such is progress my learned friend

Hi. Yes all updated and all good,but fwiw I’ve just got the 60nm setting on Turbo to help with the odd uphill section when I really need it. I’m now using eco a lot more since the update after playing about with the settings and have reached a reasonable balance between torque and range.Its...

Cheers for that. Just to put a spanner in the works I actually own an SX bike for my sins lol and it does me fine. I’m what’s best described as more of an “active” rider than fit nowadays-post stroke since 2018 and worn out knees too! You guys finally confirmed what I suspected,a rider won’t...

Thanks for sharing that.I appreciate just like a vehicle you’ve got to constantly use the gears to keep the engine in its sweet spot to accelerate etc.Tbh I was maybe confusing an e-bike motor with an electric car where full instant torque is available from a standstill and the power develops...

Hi fellow riders Huge apologies for my stupidity/ignorance on this query Irrespective of rider input,can ANY rider acess their e-bikes’max power and torque as long as they can spin fast enough? ie will you still achieve full power even if you have compromised leg strength but can still spin...

Hi I was absolutely stoked to get the chance of a brief demo today on the new Amflow px when I popped in to MTB Monster in Blackburn after driving 200 miles to visit an elderly relation. WOW WOW WOW What an amazing experience! The acceleration is off the charts and the motor is virtually silent...

I’ve spent thousands over the last 20 odd years buying the latest and greatest n+1 mtbs-hard earned money which could have bought so many other things and rendered worthless after e-bikes came along. Still got an Orange Four and a 26inch Trek Fuel ex which I use as “go-to” bikes that I don’t...

Many many years ago Pirelli had a big advert out for their tyres with their catchphrase being “power is nothing without control”.How true! Yesterday the only way I was able to negotiate up a steep muddy slope was to use eco on my SX bike:not completely a tyre related issue but more motor...

Bosch SX owner here and as much as I physically enjoy riding it,having a non removable 400wh battery is the worst of ALL worlds. Having to add a range extender on any SL bike imho defeats the “SL” genre handling wise. I’d just prefer a 600wh battery with NO added weight increase.

Hi sweet ride you’ve got yourself.👍 Although I still have serious regrets about not even trying a full power bike before splashing £6k on my mid power,I just think back to one hot sunny day when I demo’ed a mid power model on my local trails and was blown away how effortless things were compared...

Had I been aware I could actually have bought a base model Amflow in 2024 for exactly what I paid (after discount) for my mid powered bike I would certainly be a WHOLE lot happier now tbh. Faced with the prospect of losing £thousands if I actually managed to sell it I just have enjoy it for what...

Hi I don’t know if this issue is unique to my emtb but after I lifted my bike out the back of my car today I noticed the chain had managed to become tightly jammed behind the crank arm and chain ring. I had no way of fixing it trail side as I don’t usually carry a crank removal tool and had to...

Just been trying to locate the article unsuccessfully but from what I can make out it’s just yet more AI generated lies. My local mot guy gave me that WTF look when I queried him on things.

I’ll try to find whatever You tube channel it was on for you although tbh that’s why I wondered if it was AI tosh or the real deal. I’m also going to enquire at my local mot station to see if they’ve heard anything unusual.

I’ve always shunned EV’s but I reckon what I’m now paying here for diesel (£1.82 per litre locally in Glasgow)would go a long way to leasing an EV if I decide to trade my 64 plate non LEZ compliant diesel car in.I don’t do long distances now. Fwiw I read an article on the ‘net recently stating...
