I agree to be honest. The main problem is YouTube compresses the GoPro image quality. I'm using a GoPro 9 but they still aren't great in anything but bright sunshine. Maybe I'll shoot in 4k in future. Cheers
I think when it comes to regular trail centre style jumps the ebike is more stable all be it less playful. When it comes to dirt jumps I think you're still better off on an acoustic. Easier to generate height and move around in the air.
In all the years that I've been mountain biking (20+) I've never really had the chance to properly ride dirt jumps. Mainly because of where I live. North Wales doesn't offer much when it comes to sets of jumps with steep kickers and gaps in the middle. So when a set was dug at my local woods I...
There's a thread refresh for ya! And I now have 9 Ebikes :ROFLMAO:
Pop in for a cuppa at the Ebike Adventures hub in Betws y Coed if you're passing by any time soon...
Sadly much of what I said (especially in reference to Sam Hill) was in reference to a section of the video I had to cut (I contract for a well known ebike youtube channel and used a few clips from a shoot last year with Fabien Barel. Sadly I couldn't get permission to use the footage so had to...

Ended up comparing the battery life of the two bikes.
Let me know your experiences with the two motors.
Cheers
Very true. I, like many really enjoy the assisted climbing from a full fat ebike and to me its another reason to own one. The SL doesn't really give me the want to look for those fun technical climbs. Worth thinking about if you're considering one...
Having only ridden the bike for half a day before the hill climb test I wasn't sure what the best way would be to tackle the incline. At that angle with seat up I found my weight is too far back due to the seat angle so I would basically need to stand up whilst pedalling. Maybe a middle setting...
Hi Ben Ben Ben. I'm also Ben!
Yeah I can see how its the perfect bike for some, especially coming over from riding acoustic bikes their whole life and just wanting to go further, faster. But I have pretty much been ruined by the power of my E8000 motor lol.
What I did find interesting was going...
Thank you for your detailed reply Rocket.
I've been meaning to have a look at the rear mech for a while now. You know when something just works you kinda skip over it. Thats me all the time.
More vids to come. Lets see where it goes...
