Thanks for all the tips folks. To be honest, I never ride anything more technical than a forest or farm trail; no jumps, berms, rock parks etc, I just want to be outside on my bike, enjoying the scenery. The track I fell on was one I've done numerous times, I just took it a little faster than...

I normally do but this time, of course, I didn't.

Hi all, I had a bit of a minor spill last week; slid out on a gravelly turn and did some pretty impressive tissue damage to my elbow and knee. The former required surgery under GA to remove some foreign bodies from the wound and a short stay at hospital. Anyway, the whole incident beggared the...

Hi, I'm aware of that, but the bikes all come with a 2 year warranty on motor and battery. I haven't seen great offers just yet, but will look around. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi all, I'm looking to pick up a 2nd-hand factory refurbished from www.rebike.ch and have, for the moment, narrowed it down to the following: 2023 Ghost E-Riot AM AL: https://rebike.com/ch/ghost-e-riot-am-al-essential-fully-e-bike-2023-270831?number=270831&height=190 2023 Focus Sam2 6.8...

Update: so the correct battery just arrived, part No. BBP3761, ordered from CH Bobleisure

That's interesting because I looked up BBP3761 and this came up: Bosch PowerTube 625 Wh vertical BBP3761 smart, 736.00 CHF. This does appear to have the the correct pin configuration. Yet another search results in this: PowerTube 625 Akku (BBP3761) VERTIKAL - Das smarte System, which doesn't...

OK, so I've done a bit of further investigation, the battery I ordered was the PowerTube 625 BBP291, whereas the Smart equivalent would be BBP3761. Is that right and what I should be looking out for when I order?

OK, good to know, but why? It's certainly not obvious when you go to order a new battery.

My Moustache hardtail (bought in February) comes packaged with a 500 Wh Bosch Powertube. The dealer at the time said the battery is configured with spacers, so I could easily upgrade to a 625 Wh. So this week I decided to bite the bullet and order a 625 tube, obviously taking careful note of the...

Hi all, wasn't sure whether to post this in Discussion or here, but it is a question. I'm pretty happy with my Moustache 27.5" hardtail for commuting, gentle mixed rides with the missus etc, but I miss my 29" fully squishy experience. So I'm looking to add a fully to my stable, but wanted a few...

Yes, it does and that follows with what the shop told me. I have a Bosch Smart system, so I don't think the 750 is only for that.

Hi all, my Moustache Samedi 27 OFF comes equipped with a 500 W Bosch PowerTube. What is the largest battery I could upgrade to? The shop said I could fit in the 625 W PowerTube, but can I go even larger, say to the 750 W? Or is the battery housing not compatible?

Thanks for the feedback. Interesting what you say about the Suntour suspension, both video reviews I watched were very complimentary about it. And just to clarify, I'm just looking for a little more comfort and a smoother ride over roots, ruts and rocks; I'm not into jumps or big drop-offs and...

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a full EMTB to compliment my hardtail Moustache, which I use for commutes and longer tours, but feels a bit stiff on the trails. I've been looking at www.rebike.com (a German company that sells factory-refurbished Ebikes) and found this one...

Wow, thanks for all the replies and opinions. From my perspective, I've always ridden clipped as I said and as I don't really do any overtly technical stuff, I've never really had a serious "oh fuck" moment where I needed to unclip in extremis. I think the last unclipping mishap was when trying...

Just out of interest, do people here ride with clips or flats on your eMTB adventures? I've always ridden MTBs with SPDs due to better stability and control and never really tried flats. What is your preference and why?

Funny f*cker ;)

Thanks, that's some really good info. After I posted this, I went on a 72 km ride with around 550 m climbing and still had 20% battery left at the end. I'm 120 kg+ so thought this wasn't bad at all. I really need to test the limits as we plan some of the Swiss multi-stage MTB routes which are...
