Basically we need all manufacturers to adopt the Lapierre GLP approach to emtb battery placement. Then the world would be a better place and we could all get on with our lives ?

All of which I'm well aware of but the battery is the only thing I'd be willing to change. It's all a bit of a backwards step isn't it

Each to their own I guess. I thought the weight increase was going to be a massive issue and initially yes it did feel more clumsy but once I adjusted to it I'm kinda fine with it now. Although a 500wh battery would be a better option for me.

I agree with your previous comment on the EP8. It's super smooth and feels so natural. My large definitely feels shorter than the previous generation. This I think helps to negate the additional weight and higher battery placement. For me it was something to adjust to over the space of a few...

Maybe you're right. I'm hoping to get my hands on a Bosch powered Focus in the near future. I'll have a back to back review in the coming weeks

Thanks very much for your kind words. I'll let Jonesy know ?

I'm sure it will happen soon!

The original plan was to sell the fleet in the Autumn regardless of mileage or condition, however due to the state of the bike industry we have only been able to purchase 7 new bikes from Vitus this year so the plan is to run a handful of last years bikes until we can get hold of further stock...

In my personal experience the E7000 is the more reliable motor and has shown very few error codes.

Just haven't had any bearing issues yet. When I do I'll be quick to update this thread.

Thanks for your feedback. I probably should have made it clearer that I was only covering the problems I have personally experienced during the ownership of the fleet. Whilst I appreciate all ebikes have their problems (something I discussed in the accompanying article) I cannot have an informed...

If you're UK based and ever have a problem again with Shimano get in touch with Madison customer care on 01908 326032. You should be able to deal with them direct providing you can send them proof of purchase.

Cheers Dobby. It's a real asset to our area here in North Wales. Sadly there's rumours of the whole place being felled in the near future so we are making the most of it while its still there

No, but I do love the way they convey steepness. Something you never get from the GoPro

Wow. Some nice height there!

I agree to be honest. The main problem is YouTube compresses the GoPro image quality. I'm using a GoPro 9 but they still aren't great in anything but bright sunshine. Maybe I'll shoot in 4k in future. Cheers

I think when it comes to regular trail centre style jumps the ebike is more stable all be it less playful. When it comes to dirt jumps I think you're still better off on an acoustic. Easier to generate height and move around in the air.

In all the years that I've been mountain biking (20+) I've never really had the chance to properly ride dirt jumps. Mainly because of where I live. North Wales doesn't offer much when it comes to sets of jumps with steep kickers and gaps in the middle. So when a set was dug at my local woods I...
