    When is an eMTB too heavy?

    Yeah 25kg bike weight for me is top end. Then drink bottle then bike likes then mud, that get end up 27-28kg and that is getting real hard to lift over stuff.

    Motor shut down in moist/muddy conditions.

    Hey team, I've had my motor shut down in wet and muddy conditions a couple of times. One time it just flashed and the whole thing turned off. Turned if back on like a computer and carried on riding. The other time it would just shut off entirely. No error code. I'd turn it back on while...

    Lets talk 'Mullets' - are they a benefit for short riders?

    Weight back on steep is a function of how slow you need to go. If it's real steep and real tech and you need to go slow and really control speed then weight needs to shift back to retain speed control. If there is a nice run out of catch burm or something and can run out with speed then...

    Lets talk 'Mullets' - are they a benefit for short riders?

    5'11 and mulley all the way. 29 wheel gets in the way on slow steep decents when you have to get your arse back. It can also get in the way manuevering in the air jumping. Short people should look at mullet for sure and average height people if they chase the steep slow tech and like...

    emtb raising rear wheel / bunny hop

    I'll agree with bob, but with the previso that he must be a bunny hopping legend. I am not bad at bunny hopping but find my 26kg bike a handful to bunny hop. Just keep plugging away on the technique. If you have an mtb, practice on that then bring it too the E. On a side note for small high...

    Lets discuss uphill crashing.

    So E team. How's ya uphill crashing going? Since getting an e-bike my uphill crashing has significantly increased. I love to push the limits see what is possible and end up attempting rediculous incline or feature followed by the resulting step off the bike. The other day i miss timed an up...

    Is the Kettler B-750 E-MTB a Good Buy? Seeking Advice!

    There's no price listed so it makes it hard to understand if its a good deal or not. It is average to low spec components. It would suit a beginner to low intermediate spec rider. More experienced, harder riding riders would not want that parts mix. PS bosch is good. PSS I've never heard...

    Watching mates die of lung cancer or becoming over weight growing a beer gut with health problems and seeing their riding slide back and diminish, hell one guy even took up golf, I think i made the right choice. I'm the lone dad that can ride with my boy and his crew of mates up and down...

    Lighter Riders / Heavier Bikes - Handling Struggles?

    Try a couple less. 17,18psi. Unless you are hyper pointy you should get away with it. I am 76kg and run 19psi on the front assgay exo+ Side note. If the wheels as you say a trash. How's the spoke tension in the front? Maybe she's getting a little flex and twang in the corners.

    Lighter Riders / Heavier Bikes - Handling Struggles?

    You wouldn't do that on the off camber sweeping dh corner the op describes. Tight switchbacks yes. Offcambsr sweepers... no.

    Lighter Riders / Heavier Bikes - Handling Struggles?

    Also, What front tire pressure is she running? An over inflated tire for her weight might not help either. Applying the brakes is a big no, no for off camber. Make sure she isn't stabbing on the brakes at weird times or at all in the corner. Set up for the corner, go in slower, no brakes and...
