    Buying locally vs online

    Looks to me like local dealer magic transformation... Me thinks your original brakes (whatever they were) are now fitted on someone else's bike. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Please help educate me.. Enduro vs "All Mountain"

    Sizing the battery somewhat depends on your typical “ride time”. Too big a battery and you will hate carrying the extra weight without using it, too small you will have “range anxiety”. Market sweet spot between 630Wh - 750Wh for full fat emtb (there are smaller and/or bigger options...

    Buying locally vs online

    I have always bought locally. LBS were a bit clueless when the first e-bikes came about, so was tech training from the Bike brands, this has evolved quite a bit in the last few years, make sure your local shop is able to service your bike properly, which they should. 👍

    Downhill Stance - What Foot Forward?

    Right handed, left foot forward... Until Hip pain, then started to use right foot forward and now can barely see the difference. I guess all pro riders would be good either way. Great topic! 👍

    Hot melt wax - the journey begins

    Really looking forward to the evolution of your test, thanks for sharing. That being said, I honestly don’t see the day I’ll actually to do this, let alone being allowed to use the slow cooker… 🤨

    Who bought an e bike for more fitness? More speed?

    Yep! Younger would be good... e-mtb is second best thing! Not redlining the HR is also a plus. 👍

    Race organizers against eMTBs

    The letter seems very legit to me. They take time to explain the obvious, probably to avoid ruffling feathers. Got my vote 👍

    How’s the second hand market in your area?

    Last year I sold my e-mtb in exactly 1hour 45 minutes. Now I have an e-bike on Marketplace for 7 days and no action, I have reduced the price below what else is offered without change… Anyone else experiencing this ?

    Paying for your EBike

    Took the money from savings (for retirement)… I figured riding more and getting in better shape now is what really counts!

    Giant Stance E+1 or Trek Powerfly FS4

    YES! Dropper & battery more than worth it in my opinion. 👍

    Giant Stance E+1 or Trek Powerfly FS4

    I would definitely take a hard look into the new 2023 Stance (E+2) which seems to be within your budget. It has a renewed geometry, longer travels both front and rear, new motor (75Nm or 85Nm for the PRO model), colour display controller and better tires… Good Luck! 👍...

    How did you pick your eMTB?

    Could not have said it better... Giant Reign 2022 E+2 for me as well. 😄 Choosing again today I would eliminate small or boutique bike brands, but that's just me.

    Hardtail for the missus

    Bought my wife a HT last year, changed to a comfy seat... Now have to move to FS... probably a Liv Embolden 2023. I would strongly suggest going straight to FS. Good Luck!
