    Fuel EXe Can the EXE be ridden with main battery out?

    As per title. Cos i have a levo currently and have gone trips without the main battery, and just use the levo as a normal bike. A fren recently bought a EXE and says with the battery out, there is nowhere to screw back the motor.

    personally as someone who owns both FF and SL ebikes, i feel new bikers should always start off with a SL. I fee starting off straight with FF gives you alot of bad habits and you rely too much on the motor, to get you over obstacles etc. Dont worry about the power of the EXE, its more than...

    how does your back not hurt with so much seatpost? you must have a really long leg to torso ratio. Are you sure you arnt a frame size too small?

    Not possible. If the majority are intent to smash every uphill. Possible if they slow it down, aka a smaller more social group. I do manual, SL and FF bike rides. A SL to a FF is like a Manual to a SL. Just not possible to keep up, even if you are extremely fit

    Fuel EXe TREK's new lightweight trail ebike

    SL is pure trail bike, nothing enduro about it. even though it has 150 travel at the back. I have a SL and a SB140, even though the SB140 only has 140mm at the back vs the SL 150mm, its waaaay more capable, on DH only trails, i can consistently beat the SL on my Yeti Honestly the geo on the...

    Fuel EXe TREK's new lightweight trail ebike

    i dunno in your country how the pricing is...but in my country XTR cassette is 1/2 the price of XX1, so we all run AXS RD with XTR chain/cassette, no issues.

    Fuel EXe TREK's new lightweight trail ebike

    in my country, a SRAM XX1 cassette is 2.5x the cost of a XTR, so no one bothers running one. We all use shimano chain/cassette paired to AXS, works fine, have 2 bikes with that set up and both pass 1500km

    Fuel EXe TREK's new lightweight trail ebike

    yea, on a FF, you can "cheat" if you hit hard technical climb sections, because u can climb in any gear, the power will carry you over. You cant do that in a SL, you will stall out just like a normal bike It sounds like gatekeeping, but i feel beginner riders should never start the hobby in a...

    Fuel EXe TREK's new lightweight trail ebike

    Lightweight ebikes arnt meant to be ridden the same way as FF ebikes. (owned 2 levos, currently on a SL). You will get used to the smaller battery and high power draw after a few rides. Try not to leave it in turbo and riding at max power at all the uphills. After 2 years with my SL, i...
