Hi,
Newbie here, got 4 analog bikes and now looking to get a digital...

Demoed a Kenevo, Shuttle, Levo. Got a RM powerplag demo booked for next week, considering the vitus e-sommet (and would upgrade heavily).

I ride normal mtb 3 days a week want one to ride on ‘rest days’ so that I can give my knees a rest but still keep the heart and lungs active!

Plus It will mean I get to do more local DH runs.

Peace!

You got that right , give the knees a rest but keep the heart /lungs active They certainly do that if you work at them

The Vitus (biased owner speaking here) is one of the best e-mtbs out there, regardless of price, especially if you are looking at something more gravity focused. If you are going to upgrade it then getting the base model, binning the parts are doing your own build would probably result in something pretty special.

Who i got mine i was looking at all the usual suspects, and test rode a lot of different bikes, but the spec and geo where what i wanted, it had the Shimano motor which of all the bikes i tested was my prefers option, mainly because of the control interface, and the price just made it a bit of a no brainier for me.

If your looking at up grading the vitus then look at the higher range commencal models much Cheaper than upgrading

And you can buy the Commencal as a frameset
