Staying in box until the Kiox controller arrives - hopefully tomorrow. Don't want to ride it with the Purion as I know I will damage it.
Have decided for my backup bike I could live with an alloy frame. Can't really justify a couple more - or $3k to $4K realistically for another CF bike.
So, I was browsing a certain asian site looking for bits that might be interesting on my Cheeb build and what do I find.
A WHOLE eMTB - 48V 750W .... wow, and not only that it is magical.
It has 4 working modes ...
Now me, I never really considered pushing my bike home after I had broke it...

The 'pedal damn it' company says 'ride damn it' :D
Back 10 years ago I dropped the ball and missed out on a wonderful opportunity after meeting the Niner owners before the WSSC at Rotorua. Never thought an eMTB would be in their future.
First Impression
Can't wait for Robs thoughts.

I broke and let Duke916 down yesterday.
We decided to ride as much of the Waikato River Trail (about 103km) that we could yesterday. To ensure we got to the end where we stashed a vehicle we started at the second car-park, taking about 10km off the ride.
Since I am a fat-arse I set the Levo to...
Have been asked by several people in New Zealand if I knew of any ebike specific rides - especially group or adventure rides.
The answer is no. However .....
I have been thinking about organising a few of them - especially now Summer is coming to us down here.
Some of the ideas I have...
Duke916 and I are going to have an epic Taupo mission this coming summer.
Saturday will be Tree trunk Gorge and Pillars of Hercules with a quiet sift back to Turangi along the Tongariro river trail. Sunday being W2K then on to the K2K. Back over K2K and a stop for a bite to eat then back to...
Picked one up and have it on the charger now. Hopefully I can get a decent ride this weekend and test distance achievable.
Old 500Wh - 3155g
New 700Wh - 3835g
Extra 680g for the 200Wh.
Walked out today after a serious 34km ride. Got to the little embankment up to the car and the Levo battery cried enough - even though I had did a bit of unassisted to try to get me back to the car. Only a 4.5M bank so wasn't too bad I guess. 34.14km - 2:54 with 489M of ascent and average...
