    Lots of Rough miles and Hands "aching"

    Go to a bike shop with your bike and physically place different bars on top of yours. and pick a different sweep. If you current bars are wider than you last bike then test with the grips and controls more inboard. The heckler looks to have higher stack too. Test moving the stem up and down on...

    Analysis Paralysis

    I saw the new repeater the other day. It looked fantastic...... 750wh repeater would win this battle for sure.

    Analysis Paralysis

    hmmm. On that list it would be between the ari and the repeater. With that said. I would want a minimum of 750wh battery for full power emtb. No none of them would meet the grade.

    Hi there! Here to learn about eMTBs and figure out which one I want!

    Yeah, as Mr Bro points out, we can't really help out until you provide some details. Do you want to cruise the streets or hurl yourself off mountains or somewhere in between? The recommendations will be different dependent on what you want to do.

    20mph speed government petition is live!

    50kph derestricted would be less dangerous on the larger jump lines I listed above.

    20mph speed government petition is live!

    Also, locally electric scooters and skateboards have no such limits. I see those things ripping along at 40-50kph. I find that super ironic because they are harder to control with less braking and are more likely to crash and injure others.

    20mph speed government petition is live!

    I dont think i'd bother with an e bike with a 25kph limit. That would suck. I tap out the 32kph limit i have going uphill... (im in NZ). Even at 32kph there is limitations at the bike park when hitting big jump lines that require more speed and pop above motor cut out. There are some jumps i...

    The first big drop is pretty harsh landing. Its my datum drop to set up my suspension. I set it up to soft bottom or had a few mm of travel left off that drop depending on how deep i send it. I'm 80kg kitted up and am running 2 volume spacers and around 60psi. General riding I use about 80%...

    I went for Arma. It's cheaper has adjustable hbo and why the hell does anyone need a lock out on an e-bike? I wouldn't waste the extra money on a storia. It doesnt bring anything extra to the party. As far as triple v single crown. If you are all dh and big chunk then i would say triple clamp...

    First time emtb owner here. What tyre set up are you riders running for the UK winter (Mullet set up.)

    On the e can can get away with thicker wall and gripper tires. If you like dhr/ magic combo then that would be the first place to start. I'd run the dhr in dd casing max terra compound and the extra soft compound up front. I'm running big Betty 2.6 supergravity on the rear and assgai 2.5 max...

    Help us make E-MTB holidays better!

    I'm on an international trip right now. Took the mtb. E was too hard. Too heavy without the battery, too expensive to hire a battery. No I wouldn't hire an ebike. I would. Not meet the spec of my e bike, would not set up for my style and I'd too expensive to hire.
