After buying my bike, I immediately put on my OneUp Aluminium pedals and a nice fresh pair of ODI Rogue grips.

Classic “leaning on a tree” photo from my first proper ebike trail ride last weekend.

When I read Mountain Trike, I expected a bike more like a Bowhead. I wasn't expecting a 3 wheel fat bike with triple clamp forks! That thing looks awesome.

I have found it's not just about the width, but it's about the upsweep and backsweep for total comfort and control. I was on 780mm bars up until I got my first pair of Renthal Fatbars and then I found myself using 800mm width bars permanently. Last two bikes had Fatbars fitted at 800mm and...

Jumped into the eWorld last week and so far I am absolutely stoked. Initially took the beast for a shakedown road ride to get things how Iike them, then took it out on it's maiden trail ride yesterday. Having come from a long-travel enduro bike with high-end components, I decided that I needed...

I'm curious as to how different it is running Di2 as opposed to plain old cable-actuated XT. Does freeshift and autoshift really make that much difference?

I did so much research! Been riding a 2011 (heavily modified/upgraded) analogue Giant Reign SX and wanted something that could give me a similar experience, but with a motor. I have a few knee and hip issues and really suffer for a few days after a big ride, so was always going to go electric...

Having just made the leap myself, I have to say I am impressed with the Merida eOne-Sixty that I am now riding. Not sure of availability or dealer support where you're from, but here in NZ, we have a good network of Merida dealers, so I am well catered for. Overall, pretty stoked with my...

Well…it ain’t clean no more. 😂 Great first ride on the trails. Dialled everything in. It’s like starting MTB all over again.

Just picked up my first eBike today. Super stoked to be starting on a new adventure in my mountain biking journey. Been riding MTB since the early 90’s and have had a fascination with e-bikes for a few years now.

Kia Ora.

New bike day!! E160 700 - last year’s model on sale EP6 motor. Shimano rep unlocked speed restriction to 45kmh. Looking forward to a trail ride this weekend.

Well after test riding it, I’ve now bought it. Can confirm that even in the etube app it will allow up to 45hm/h. I managed to get up to 48kmh on my first ride around the bike path.

When I test-rode a Merida with a new Shimano EP6 last week it had just been derestricted by the local Shimano rep to enable a top speed of 45kmh. No special software or hardware - just the new firmware and a removal of the top speed restriction. All approved by Shimano apparently.
