    How are eMTBs 1/3 the price of a Tesla model 3?

    That's making assumptions though. For all you know he could power his car entirely from solar. And again, that's one person. We don't all live in his state. My energy provider only offers renewable energy and despite the environmental implications of producing the battery it will quickly...

    How are eMTBs 1/3 the price of a Tesla model 3?

    Give up mate, you can't educate pork. I too have a Tesla and it's easily the best car I've ever had. I know several others with them as well and they all say the same thing. Faster than many Ferraris but costs less to run than a 1 litre hatchback? Yes please! The problem is that people have...

    Ebikes are better made? Tesla motors are built to last a million miles. Lucky if you get to the end of the street on some ebikes...

    Downhill Stance - What Foot Forward?

    Right handed s d kick a football with my right foot, but always ride left foot forward. As per others, it feels really odd to ride right foot forward. I'm not sure if it's the same for others, but despite riding left foot forwards I start wheelies with my right foot as my right leg is my...

    Do's and Don'ts for e-bike battery care. What do you do to keep your battery performing at its best?

    IKR! I sh*t in a hole in the ground and never need to flush or have any plumbing done - and this is progress?? 🤣

    Do's and Don'ts for e-bike battery care. What do you do to keep your battery performing at its best?

    A bit like your mobile phone. Usually the battery still works, but once the capacity gets below a day, it starts becoming inconvenient because you have to charge multiple times a day. Those that don't have the luxury of buying a new phone can usually still use the phone though... Albeit by...

    Do's and Don'ts for e-bike battery care. What do you do to keep your battery performing at its best?

    I guess you just use it until it doesn't provide sufficient charge for your rides anymore. Why is your battery dying, and how long have you had it?

    Need help deciding on a reliable motor.

    Yeah, that sucks. Basically they want us to spend a fortune on a whole new motor and have it reprogrammed for an extortionate fee at one of their Bosch dealers. As if the bikes weren't already insanely expensive in the first place. Honestly, I hope the Chinese come in and wipe the floor with...

    Need help deciding on a reliable motor.

    In your opinion, are they actually looking to address reliability and improve serviceability?

    Need help deciding on a reliable motor.

    Typical. And that wouldn't be a difficult problem to solve - just exempt batteries from it. Make batteries an item that must be replaced entirely, rather than repaired, but the rest of the bike can be repaired. It's not like the battery isn't already a separate part of the system! Pretty poor...

    Need help deciding on a reliable motor.

    I also hear that Bafang is more serviceable? If the Germans, Japanese etc want to keep their market then they need to wise up fast. If Bafang are just as powerful and are actually serviceable then bikes will be all.over these like a rash. They just need to partner with more bike...

    Need help deciding on a reliable motor.

    Yeah Bosch make a ton of items with motors - washing machines, tumble driers, robot mowers, etc. Admittedly they come across a wide range of price points so the quality will vary. TBH, for me the reliability is important, but I think the bit that really bugs me and is possibly even more...

    Anyone moved away from Cushcore?

    Ah! I knew there was a special way. Gonna start riding with a canoe on my back now, just in case. 😁

    Anyone moved away from Cushcore?

    Hah! Sounds about right. I know several people who ride without any form of tools or spares... It's great!... Until you get a problem! And yes, I noticed the cuts in the video also. I could make a video showing me fitting an insert in 10 minutes if I removed 50 minutes of me swearing at my...

    Anyone moved away from Cushcore?

    I wouldn't say a tyre insert wouldn't meet my needs, I'm aware of the benefits, it's just that I wouldn't want to be stuck trailside with something I couldn't repair without a huge trash can and special tyre levers. Also, to reiterate, I've not tried Cushcore, only Tannus Armour, though the...

    Anyone moved away from Cushcore?

    So it's also hard to get the tyres back off after then? OK, good to know. Sure, people always make videos when things are easy and need no explanation. 🙄 I don't rip tyres up at all. I also don't tend to ding rims. I was just answering a question. I installed Tannus inserts for the supposed...

    Anyone moved away from Cushcore?

    Hardly. They're known to be an ar5e to fit. Plenty of threads on it online from many many people with similar frustrations. That's why your beloved Cushcore themselves sell a special tool for fitting them. Just so you know, confirmation bias is when you seek out confirmation of your own...

    Anyone moved away from Cushcore?

    Horses for courses I guess. The Tannus inserts saved my rims when my tyres lost air, but I doubt they'd have lost air if I hadn't installed the inserts, so... 🤷‍♂️
