Hi,
just got my first e-bike ever, Ghost E-Riot CF Full Party, and since I didn't see anything regarding it on the forum, I decided to start a thread about to share knowledge. Had my first ride yesterday and Im absolutety amazed by the climbing, but I guess that's no surprise. Let me first share a couple of things I don't like about the bike:
1. Battery rattles on big impacts, although I saw a pdf somewhere how to fix it by tightening the lock.
2. Handlebars are way too low but that's personal preference. Gonna try 60mm rise next ride (Tuesday, hopefully!)
3. Mavens came with organic pads and rear brake has air inside (I hope it already made it's way to the lever so I can just burp it). I need metallic pads.
4. Because of the poor-ish brake performance (rear especially) I had arm pump quickly and I guess it's partially reason I didn't like the suspension. Never had ZEB before, too. Rode a few Vivids and I know they're super sensitive to the pressure, so I need to tinker a bit.
5. The weight. I know it weights around 24kgs, but that feels only a bit more than my downhill bike when loading up to the car. Handling on the trail is very similar to the analog bike which I am very happy about.
Things I like!
1. Tires are amazing, almost broke a rim trying to get the rear off to install inserts, but once done they're great!
2. Sizing, L fits me very similarly to my analog Nukeproof in XL. Stack could be just a tiny but higher, but that I can address with handlebars.
3. 800Wh battery - I did over 1600m elevation using mostly eMTB+ and Race and still had 30% left. That means I could do 2000m of elevation with huge assist, which is nuts. Where I live, doing over a 1000m on an analog is already a lot. The hills are steep and not climbing-pleasant, so Im happy to finally have some assist here
Not sure what else to say. Just happy for now, need to figure out a couple of things and then I'm planning to neglect it for a bit because I always take too good care of my bikes compare to the time they are in use. So I guess 0h maintenance for the fork, battery adjustment and just keep riding.
