It's heading into winter this side of the hemisphere..... ! But that doesnt stop me. I just get muddier and end up wearing out more drive trains and bearings.....
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.
Well if you see a dude riding a silver Pole. It's likely me. I blaze over quite often....
Here's a bit of rockyhorror. Tried to ride it again on Friday but its still closed due to the nesting falcons. Grrrrr.
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.
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...
Just do what ever makes you happy. Nothing wrong with good hearted banter, but if it gets more shitty than that with closed minded dudes getting angry,,,, find a new group of dudes. Real mates will understand.
Regarding fitness, The ebike can pull your fitness up. I am 7 months into the ebike...
Welcome aboard.
Disregard the haters they are just old men yelling at clouds.
I can't help with us locations. But if you ever find yourself in nz I can point you to some epic locations.
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...
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...
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.
Welcome aboard.
My daughter has an h30 rise. Awesome bit of kit.
I advice against a swing away for e bikes. That adds more leverage ratio and flex. All things you don't want when with heavy an emtbs.
Sounds like you already have a rack, but if you decide to go to vertical I can hook you up...
I kitesurf, mountain bike and ebike. I cannot be bothered with gymwork. I just ride. The best form of exercise to improve ebiking is ebiking!
Regarding technique. I use more body english to move the bike around. There's a tone of climbing techniques to learn to get better at technical climbs to...
Yeah man, Hire some if you need to. If not available locally go for a holiday somewhere where you can test and ride on actual mtb trails. Only you can tell what you like best for you.... all us internet experts and say what we like. But that might not translate to what give you the most joy. Its...
My advice. Go and test ride some bike. Ideally on your local trails and formulate an opinion.
I started of thinking mid power light weight to keep the bike closer to my meat bike weight. But then after testing I realized that there was more fun to be had uphill on a full power bike and more...
