I was running a "recommended" 25psi rear and 23psi front.
I'm now running 27psi rear and 25 front and it's really good - not so squirrely and no more burping (that I am aware of).
I'm about 95kg, so added to the bike weight, all up it's a lot for the tyres to deal with on rooty and rocky trails - although I suspect this happened on a tight berm.

Haha that’s awesome. She loves the snow so much!
Pal sent me this, 11 years ago apparently. I still have that bike!
Edit to add, that's a 26" carbon hardtail with a 100mm Rockshox Reba, 3 by drivetrain & no dropper. I built it from the frame up & it was pretty much on the money at the time!

I know, not an EMTB but nice commuting addition to my bike collection.
Even without suspension, the combination of a carbon fork, wide tires, and the patented Orbea Diamond Glide frame design absorbs bumps surprisingly well, keeping the ride smooth and controlled. Still ordered the Redshift Shockstop suspension seatpost to alleviate pain in my lower back.
The Shimano EP6 motor delivers serious power for such bike, and with the top speed bumped up to 45 km/h, it’s an absolute blast on city streets!

That looks a good bit deeper than the last snow pic ?
Do you prefer wide or narrow tires on snow and which light do you have?
Yes we got some more but now it looks like it will go away again…
The tire questions is tricky. The conditions vary so much in winter that I would say tire pressures are more important. My 2.6” front Piikkisika measures 2.4” in real life and I`m ok with that. Wouldn`t go under. Rear is 2.6” for real. But I`m thinking puttting inserts to these again because it`s tricy to get pressures as low as possible, but not too low when there`s still exposed roots and rocks, and in other hand if pressures are too high the ride is rough after front suspension stiffence up because of low temps
. I had inserts on my old Levo and previous Piikkisika tires and traction was amazing, I rode really low presssures.Light is this Lupine Lighting Systems - E-Bike lights • SL F and I have helmet light of course with it.

Being from a city that never sees snow… ever , the thought of you guys riding in it is absolutely wild !!! Love the pics keep them coming !.
Yes tires is tricky som prefer thinner since they go through the snow if it is powder snow since wider can float on top of the snow. I'm mostly on hard snow and ice got Suomi 2.6 f/b with 10/15 psi.The tire questions is tricky. The conditions vary so much in winter that I would say tire pressures are more important.

My Moterra SL featuring the appropriate amount of mud. Might clean something other than the stanchions and drivetrain this year if it's lucky, who knows!
..joke right ?Appropriate amount of mud..you're having a laugh ..did you go through a puddle
Yeah, I ordered Panzer`s today
On the Mudd-O-Meter scale it might be a 2/10… but that’s still bad based on where I live. The UK seems to be anything above 7/10. That would be tragic in my region.

All right, sorry chaps. You both clearly have larger phallus, ahem, more mud, than me. I admit it . Sorry I don't get as muddy as you guys. I'm in the UK too, I just have very flexible riding days so avoid a lot of the slop in favour of sweet grippy mud! I just meant some mud rather than none. I don't get why people wash every ride.
Thanks for gatekeeping my mud levels, oh glorious forum elitists. I bow down to thine superior sloppage, and worship thy most muddy of bicycles, oh great and powerful mud warriors! Soldier on in my stead, for mine tires doth surely lack grip.

I don’t wash after every ride either. But our conditions are loamy, rocky, rooty, wetty, snowy, sometimes dry-y.
In my neighborhood, I can usually see a water-mark on the pavement from those who have just washed their bike.
Last time I rode up here was on a Gary Fisher Hookooekoo , probably folk on here not born then late 80s or early 90s. Before droppers, vbrakes and mobile phones. Met six folk on my way back , tour group with a guide pushing analogue bikes up a steep bit . Not sure they would have made it as very windy further on but I will never know. You can get up the one with the cliffs easily from the other side Sgur Gaoith . 21 mls 2000ft .
