Thanks for your feedback Robin. Have been really impressed by the bike but my surroundings certainly suit the aggressive geo. I'd probably be less impressed if I lived somewhere flatter.

The benefits of the lightweight bike are easy to see, and whilst the range extender does add weight the position of it on the frame means the bike still feels extremely agile. Regarding the T-Type transmission, I've not experienced a drivetrain quite this slick on a MTB. Unfortunately I wasn't...

Basically we need all manufacturers to adopt the Lapierre GLP approach to emtb battery placement. Then the world would be a better place and we could all get on with our lives ?

All of which I'm well aware of but the battery is the only thing I'd be willing to change. It's all a bit of a backwards step isn't it

Each to their own I guess. I thought the weight increase was going to be a massive issue and initially yes it did feel more clumsy but once I adjusted to it I'm kinda fine with it now. Although a 500wh battery would be a better option for me.

I agree with your previous comment on the EP8. It's super smooth and feels so natural. My large definitely feels shorter than the previous generation. This I think helps to negate the additional weight and higher battery placement. For me it was something to adjust to over the space of a few...

In my personal experience the E7000 is the more reliable motor and has shown very few error codes.

Just haven't had any bearing issues yet. When I do I'll be quick to update this thread.

Thanks for your feedback. I probably should have made it clearer that I was only covering the problems I have personally experienced during the ownership of the fleet. Whilst I appreciate all ebikes have their problems (something I discussed in the accompanying article) I cannot have an informed...

If you're UK based and ever have a problem again with Shimano get in touch with Madison customer care on 01908 326032. You should be able to deal with them direct providing you can send them proof of purchase.

Cheers Dobby. It's a real asset to our area here in North Wales. Sadly there's rumours of the whole place being felled in the near future so we are making the most of it while its still there
