Yeah. Hence why I am leaning towards a wild. I want to like the canyon, and honestly might have gone with it if they had a Bosch motor but I think it's at the bottom of the short list right now
Giant/Yamaha was off my list due to various reports of motors overheating. Test rode the e trance earlier this year but for bike packing, I need to have a bit more trust in the motor
And I think this is where the Commencials probably make some sense. Personally, I do not need to blaze downhill but assitance going uphill will be nice. I am looking to have fun vs trying to be the quickest. But I suppose a good question to ask is about how long does it take to charge your...
Well worst case, the Orbea is compatible with an external battery pack. But the fun being, I need the exercise :). Going uphill I'll def take advantage of the power modes but I presume I'll be in eco mode going down hill and maybe eco - a mid mode for bike packing.
Bosch is my ideal candidate for a motor. I'm sure the Shimano is fine but I am not a fan of the eps lack of repairability. Seems wasteful.
I also really like their new led controller in the center of the bike. That was what was drawing me to Giant/Yamaha as well but heard too many things...
Greetings all, hoping to get some advice.
In the US and attempting to decide on an eMTB. I believe an all mountain style bike falls into my needs. I plan on doing trail riding, some bike park stuff, and some minor bike packing with my Astro photography gear.
I am trying to focus on Bosch...
