"The SX didn't win in any of our tests., but it’s not far behind on flat terrain." LOL! Sorry IF I wasn't more direct! Feel/Performance is Mountains apart, with the same rider, independently, what testers want to shove. As I wrote before, is a BIAS test, to which leads riders think it's only...

It's a bias test (tendency for SX motor shine). Full power ebikes, are heavier due to blurier tires, brakes and suspension (travel & rigidity). Testing these kind of bikes against a SL ebike on mellow, soft trails, will not show the reality on trails that are harder and requires more skill to...

It's not that hard. #1-Remove battery #2-Disassemble lower bracket #3-Duct tape/zip tie the cables (should be 2 groups) #4-remove the metal strips that protect the cables #5-Remove outer bolts that secure upper bracket #6-remove upper bracket Disassemble upper bracket/Clean/threadlock ALL bolts...

Boas! Sorry... not at the moment. I think you should find online.

There are tools from Bosch. Doing this job, I noticed my left arm ain't slim enough, and I'm right hander. If you're veternarian and used to have cows, this will be a peace of cake! Ehehehehhe Happy rides, too all!

Famous... eheheh! 😉 Cheers

Just side note: I do like to discuss, and present arguments in a postive way, and I'm not convincing anyone on this or that, because I really don't gain or lose anything. It's my opinion, that can be agreed/disagreed on. I don't hold the truth, nor want to hold! Arguments on the SL, are valid...

Just to understand, a SL-eBike rides like a Bike, but there is a difference between 4 and 5kg? And a Full Power ebikes are starting to show around 21/22. My question is: if 4 or 5 extra kgs doesn't make much difference, why 6 or 7 makes, with all the advantages regarding: Power/torque Range

Options are always better than no options People value things differently. Personally I embrace ebikes has being ebikes, and not bikes with assistance, or moto with pedal. Whine? Sure, but what's the problem? The only thing that doesn't appeal on this bikes, is like I wrote above: - limited...

Manufacturers try to build an ebike close/similar to a BIKE, but that is close to impossible. These bikes (light/mid weight mid power bikes), are for those that think ebikes are bikes, and their not! It's a different category. Having pedals, doesn't make them a bike Having motor, doesn't make...

My....oh my! People should breath more, and think twice before commit on such things. They don't know who they are knocking out, and it can get sideways....... We've got Trailrunners, but when they use DH tracks (made by MTBers btw...), there is some good sense and they move to the side...

Did he act on propose? Very nice to know that the Battery latch is doing it's job! Get well soon

Read the 1st post. Remove, inspect and perform the threadlock mod to all bolts on the upper bracket. While you're there, check wiring for chanfing/tear/other issues, and clean&polish everything as described. Once this is performed, and while using the new latch, you shouldn't have more problems.

Looks really nice!

For a backup plan to get you "home" is ok. But you really need to check the upper bracket. I would say you'll check that the bolts are lose.

Take a look here: https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/strive-on-power-cutouts.38593/ You need to disassemble the upper bracket from inside the frame.

Sorry for all this time, sincerelly! After the summer holidays I'll have news. For now... nothing to report, other than bike hasn't had any problems. I would insist on everyone doing the threadlock mod on the upper bracket. That alone, I would say it will stop any disconection 99%. Cheers...

Just a word of caution. Verify all pivot bolts once in a while! I'd would advice doing every 5 to 6 rides. Caught the main pivot, pivots at rear axle and shock mount bolts out of spec. Still thight, but not to proper torque. Coming from a Santacruz, this is a 1st for me...

Hi! Sorry, I've been working abroad, this couple of weeks, and with holidays, hope to have further rides in late July/August... I'll keep posting photos, as soon as I start riding again 😉
