Power freak! :p :ROFLMAO: I understand what you are saying, that's why I tried offsetting the motor weight by going for a full carbon frame, carbon handle bars, carbon seat post and some high end brakes for stopping power. I was limited in budget so had to sacrifice on the front fork. However...

Thank god for that! :giggle: 60 volt! Have you tuned it? Apparently the motors good for 2000w over tune. Especially with the metal gear update over the plastic one they had before. What kind of max speed you getting?

I'm guessing the overall build is fine as no one has come out and totally destroyed any of the components. I selected the Rockshox Domain Gold RC as it is 38mm and more solid making it perfect for emtb and DH riding. Will the 160mm front and rear travel be enough for the moment?

I will be starting off with trails, XC with some very simple climbs and DH. Once I've got used to the setup and some experience and miles, I will begin getting adventurous. ;)

Phew! For a second I thought I didn't have enough stopping power. :p

I'm looking at the prices but they are all over the place. Which of these recommended brakes are closely priced to the full brake set of the XT M8100. I still got time to change them if need be.

I get what your saying and if I bide my time, I could probably grab a bargain. However it is difficult as most people that have bought new for £7-10k, don't usually drop it all the way down to £2.5k and if they do then most likely it's heavily used and the parts will need changing soon. Also...

Most parts are made there in variable qualities. However if you have a local person that can source only the high quality parts, then I don't see it being an issue.

That was my thinking in choosing the Bafang. Better to have more power that can be dialled back, than want for power that isn't there.

Sorry, was referring to a carbon fiber seat post. Those pictures are stock basic. I've upgraded the important parts. I regards to the brakes they are Shimano Deore XT M8100 brakes with same XT 203mm rotors front and back. Surely thats good enough. The system is 2nd from the top in their model...

No comments on the build, frame, price? (y)(n)

I realise that and have asked the factory to set lockout modes at 150W, 250W, 500W & 1000W. So that when riding on the streets, I can lock it in at 250W, but when on private land, can unlock it to 1000W. ;)

Good shout, end up getting sticky and maybe scratched off. (y)

Hi All, Newbie here.:) Just getting back into biking after decades and learning about all the new stuff thats come out since. Am 40+ and looking to get a bit adventurous with some trails, XC and eventually downhill. First thing I noticed was "GEEZ! Bikes have gone expensive!" and "OMG! These...
