    NBD - Avanti Hammer E LT2

    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.

    Yo @zimmerframe - have I got a bike for you.

    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...

    So - anyone keen on the new Niner E9 ebikes, Rip 9 and 180mm WFO?

    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.

    Thats the Speshy gone

    Da-aum, lost $1500 on 30th May purchase price but glad to see it gone. When the new Scott arrives will be a happy camper.

    Found a wonderful trail for @zimmerframe to test his assorted pads and protection.

    1 Entry 2 First Jump 3-6 Second Jump 7-8 Third Jump They were BIG drops and to be fair I needed clean undies at the bottom.

    OK, I admit it .......

    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...

    New Zealand riders

    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...

    Killer Tokoroa Ride, BUT Where the heck is my 700Wh Battery?

    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...

    Kia Ora y'all

    Kiwi/American living in NZ. Recently new to ebikes and loving what I am experiencing but looking for bigger, better etc... Started with a Scott eGenius 920 late last year and so frustrated with minimal range that I went out and bought a Levo Comp last month. My reason for the Levo was that I...
