Quick poll, please answer within one week.
I'm between two coil's / sag's. Current one (250 lbs/in) gives 25 % - 27 % sag, depending on how far back I sit. In the bike park (red, mostly Enduro lines) HBO makes it's sound a few times per 100 m descent. My other option would be 225 lbs/in, which...
Well there is no bike with stan dover under 650 mm - unless looking for 100 mm travel kid's bike. For me the lowest point to stand over the bike in above rear wheel (inseam 690 mm, with shoes on). Next lowest point is over the saddle. But lucky me, I lack the "external equipment between my legs" :D
Assegai and and 3C I suppose - I tend to finnish offroad tires on commuting wheels and this 3C really frustrates me, horrible in "coldish" conditions, impossible in freezing conditions and bad everywhere else than pure downhill.... but in roots, rocks, whatever, what a fantastic grip! I also...
I've similar bike, w/ 625 / 275. If the previous bike has same motor, cable may fit. But You need Bosch service to activate the light (program/code). In my cube light power was set up 18 W. Assistance ended up at 8 % battery left. I rode an extra hour without assistance and light was still on.
That's nice weight! Ok, You have like 300 g lighter shock assy, lighter wheels, heavier tires. And I've Garbaruk cassette on commuting wheel set (345 g - not a choice based on weight, I'm not politically active, but human rights... case Ukraine... really hearts me)
Yes, my first ebike too, with 200 mm Boxxer, Haibike 9.0 Dwnhll. I find very little similarities in these, steering geometry and long travel only.
I also still have my 20+ years old "historic", with -99 Boxxer - 6" travel and coils on both tubes ;)
Voima stock wheels and tires are quite...
This should fit in the battery compartment. Would need an empty 750 Wh shell...
Net weight maybe -2,6- 2,7 kg ;)

But non of them 500 -> 750, right? Neither 400 -> 750, which ( 2kg only) would be my (54 kg) choice... I suppose people in colder climates better to wait Bosch originals...
I know I'm contersteereing, it started with my first-ever eMtb, the Haibike 9.0 Dwnhll, in 2021. When I first time ever tried lift assisted enduro /bikepeark /berms. And I just did some math, high BB + a lot of room lean. The bike gives over 15 degrees extra freedom (I tend to ride inside leg...
Today some Sappee bike park rides. In berms this "machine" temps me to increase the speed well above my skills. But I also noticed how significantly Voima is tempting rider to lean in on curves - any kind of curves. I didn't figure this out yet, but there is definitely something in the geometry...
I found out today that R Linear, C L is quite nice base tune for 54 kg mediocre enduro rider, so I suppose most of the other riders would benefit harder base tunes. Just saying that RS base tunes are quite soft for most..
I've VV rear fender and chain guide. The cover looks same material as fenders and the adapter looks like CG material. I put a CG shim plate to freeze (-20 C) over night and in the next morning I was able to crack it with my hands - so I really doubt my CG will be in 1 piece after winter. I...
I went quite strait forward to RS. Mainly because
- very reliable coil shocks, I've had these on 6 different bikes during over 10 years, not a single failure in any temperature (from -25 C to +30+ C) - serviced on time or in advance
- I can custom tune it in less time than ship the shock to...
Thank You. I thus don't even need to ask. And there should be a Bosch adaptor available as well, so let's wait for half a year and maybe we finally get the proper feathers (Y)
My knee barely reaches 10 cm behind the +/- button :D I normally keep my phone sideways below that and this far (198 km) I never hit the phone :D
But I understand Your point. I'm just not yet ready to cut the steerer, still looking for the optimal setup. Now when I have set up the fork...
I think Pole Voima K0 is the smallest bike pole ever made. Probably the smallest long travel eMtb on the markets. This is loooong bike, but the geometry makes it plausable to someone like me, although some shrinking process was necessary...
I finally got everything together:
- 35 mm Stem
- 720...
Cube seem to offer their Stereo Hybrid 140 in XS size every other year only - I have '22 and it is true XS. 27,5" is great option for us short ones...
Pole offers now Voima as K0 and top tube is within a few mm same as in Cube, seat's lowest position (when seated and correct sag) is app. 15-20...
