The Tazor Alloy isn’t horrific:

Old models need to be ~50%. I was looking at a shuttle am that was close to that and was very tempted. Agree about the noise, that’s my biggest issue with my KSL. I find it mildly amusing Bosch has finally managed to make a motor as quiet as the brose in my 2018 Kenevo

Discounts.

Anyone know what a vala weighs yet?

Definitely desirable characteristics for my next bike!

I kinda see the logic, vpp pedalling performance is less critical on an e-bike, but it seems like SC is pandering to the internet whingers who get really angry about seat post insertion despite having never touched the bike. Without the classic SC look, it looks like every other bike. Remind...

I think the Green looks pretty good:

Sounds like Bosch have managed to make a motor that is as good as a 2018 Levo?

You mean a dad bod is inevitable?

I’m guessing somewhere between, 20-21kg with full fat motor? Maybe we need a new category between SL and FF - Dad Bod

Shame, it’s a brilliant bike to ride. Absolutely sublime, just felt it was let down by the motor. Hopefully the next version uses Bosch

But how will people know it’s a SC without VPP? I’m pretty excited to see this, I do need a new full fat

I am fairly confident in the mainstream brands (Bosch, brose, shimano, etc). Are there any instances of these catching fire, without external damage to batteries? All the e-bike fires I have seen in the news are the unbranded Chinese Ali-express phone theft/delivery kind. If you’re worried...

Plasterboard is fairly effective at stopping fire, you may wish to upgrade to two layers of plasterboard, or fire rated plasterboard. Definitely add a fire alarm, ideally linked to the house. I’m assuming if your bike catches fire while on charge, it’s a gonner, but saving the garage might be...

You know heat rises? What’s above the e-bike while you’re charging it? Maybe consider a fireproof cabinet to charge it in?

February a few years ago:

Go to the beach, it’s a nice spot.

I’ve got the easyfold xt3. It’s great. Used it for 2 weeks straight in the alps, loading 3 bikes everyday for different bike parks, and then the 2 day drive back to the uk. It’s a touch short for XL 29ers, and the two rear bikes are a bit close together, so I have duct tape on my forks to...

Bigger glasses that reduce the wind to your eyes should help. These days I’m still wearing Flak 2.0 photochromic, but also wear goggles for dry days in the park (to keep the dust out of my eyes) and been trying a pair of Julbo Fury which are much bigger. They definitely reduce wind in eyes and...

Jonesy likes what he’s paid to like. It’s the e-bike equivalent of expecting impartial purchasing advice from QVC. Edit: too slow 😂
