95kg kitted up and 450lb here on a medium E2. Feels perfect to me, hit the rough stuff on it and it is fine, never feel I'm bottoming out. the Marin is a very progressive geom, hence why it seems you use a lighter spring - on another bike I'd be a 500 - deffo.
Medium, double check with the lad at cycle solutions about what bottle will fit a small with the adaptor. He's great to deal with and will be straight with you.
A specialized side loading cage and a Camelback podium 650ml bottle 👍
I did file down the inner lip on the spesh bottle cage to make a better fit but as it is only plastic was a 2 minute job. I know it looks tight but there is loads of adjustment on the slots where the cage is bolted on, I have...
Not gonna lie, I wouldn't have accepted the bike like that, as the specs (including cassette and hubs) was a big part of why I went for an E2. It's scandalous that in order to get it back to 'as advertised' you'd have to change the rims as well. I'd be asking Marin to pay for that - I was pissed...
It is solved they say, but I contacted Marin anyway and they supplied me with XT cranks free, as Shimano only recommend their own cranks with the EP8 motor.

I've had a new wheelset for the bike DT Swiss hybrid rims on pro 5 hubs. The difference is night and day, to the extent I've even noticed the battery draining less quickly. Also running rimpacts and maxxis instead of the Vees. Nothing wrong with the stock wheelset but obviously it's fairly heavy...
I had 4 spacers in mine - taken them all out and it feels much better. Not as supple as the Lyriks were but then again these are much beefier, so probably a trade off. Am happy with them now.
