This topic resurfaces every six months, but hopefully there now are more options for us who like to do things the hard way! Soo...besides the ludicrously overpriced Keveno SL, what other respectful Frame only kits are you aware of? I have a Trance E+ that has done over 5000km of abusive riding...

If it has tits or wheels, it'll break your heart and take your money.

Anyone who is willing to hand over $10,000+ for a bike that they "maybe will get some time next year" is a sucker. I'm willing to bet that at least one or two EMTB manufacturers will go under in the coming months - at least you could use your receipt to wipe the tears.

Love um! Having loads of adjustability requires some trial and error to get 100% right but the result is worth it. I did get the CSU replaced under warrantee because was starting to creak was replaced no questions asked with an beefier updated version. The light and fluffy of the initial...

does this resistance start happening an hour or more into a ride? I've notice similar symptoms on longer/more intense rides - I attribute it to heat in the motor. Goes away when it cools down.

I just went 32t in the front, no issues so far. I'm running 11-42 11 speed in the rear as the cassettes are much cheaper. The 34T I had before was perfectly fine but felt having the ability to climb stepper at higher cadence would be nice.

Never put your bike fully upside down as it can easily damage your controller on the handlebars and possibly cause water to run down to the headset.. To get rid of that little puddle, simply swing the bike up vertically (front wheel up) and this will drain the water. Also, good practice to pick...

A dutchman flying through the air!

What stupid topic but I'm not cognitively gifted so I'll jump in 'Competitive' EMTB racing is the softball equivalent to REAL enduro MTB racing....whilst it's certainly a bit of fun at the social/local level, if you take it too seriously, it's a little pathetic.....:LOL::LOL: It's funny...

100% The EMTB is great to have in the quiver for the day after a hard HT ride when I feel blown out I went with a 12spd only because I assumed I'd need the big 51t which turns I don't but it's nice to know it's there for gut busters. I sit mid cassette on most climbs. It's such a great...

Thanks @Gary ! Means a lot coming from you ;) Yup the new Meta HT. Built her myself and very happy with the result. Was nervous I wouldn't enjoy the "harshness" of an HT but I think it's actually more fun because it brings mellow trails to life. It's a hoot having to carefully pick lines and...

Gidday! Let me know what you decide to do. I might be interested. Was think about doing the Old Ghost Road in a day which isn't possible on a single battery :) Even if you were willing to lend it, I'd flick you some $$ :) Hit me up if you need a Welly riding buddy too

Maybe I'm mentally ill but since building my HT my EMTB is collecting dust!

Get rid of that crap!! ...the Guides that is :)

Racing is Racing! You should have gone for it. Turbo on!

With Ebikes, buying new is always going to be the safer option but if 2nd hand is your only option then the Giant is probably one of the safer options and going to get awesome value for money. Whilst Giants have their niggles, the repair/remedy isn't going to break the bank and can often be...

I suppose a "light front" end is the trade-off for having a bike that's designed to shine on steep, fast, and rowdy DH trails A bike that's "too long and slack" is more of an annoyance on a normal bike anyway where climbing efficiency has a higher value to the rider

Not EMTB but I'm sure everyone here loves seeing big F#&KIN JUMPS! That jump at the end though:eek::eek:

Sorry my video editing isn't as good as @Rob Rides EMTB 's just yet :p :p
