Used to skate with a windsurf sail attached to the front of the skateboard in the 90s was a lot of fun would get speed wobble from the small wheels 😂 these days would feel safer on a scooter, something to hang onto
Frame only options are crazy money 7k originally for Specialized, Pole is also expensive as they get better deal selling as complete bike! I bought my M20 Rise then sold most of the parts as I had a parts bin already for the bike
I like the Conti tyres have moved from Schwalbe. Been running the trails Kryptotal on the Rise & the Mega, just ordered a Kryptotal Enduro for the front with trail on rear with an insert
Sram drivetrain & Magura brakes also remove all Fox suspension usually buy frames so don’t have that worry but otherwise bottom spec ebike & replaced to my chosen stuff I had already
So basically the only time your hands are in pain is when descending & your squeezing the bars too tightly aka death grip. Relaxing is hardest thing to do same with any sport we all tense up! But brakes at higher angle will help
Orbea Wild. Love my Rise or the new Whyte with Bosch sx would be very interesting. Not a fan of Giant & after reading people’s warranty woes with them a big No.
