    Anybody ridden levo, tq and sx or can I hire/demo/borrow an sx bike uk/oxfordshire

    When is an eMTB too heavy?

    Depends on your use I’d say. for the UK, where cheeky might involve high stiles, 5ft high, narrow kissing gates and various other issues (tall gate and low trees) etc etc I find the levo too heavy, esp when I’m tired and it’s wet (gripping is harder), also I’ve small hands so my manual orange...

    New Bosch SX Super Light motor launched

    When you review it could you do some lower cadence testing please, it got marked down for this in the above review, as an older bimbler who needs to lift for stiles/gates etc light weight is great (hopes raised, new Ktm 16.5kg, sx, 400w removable, bosch motors generally repairable) but...
