    YT Decoy first ride review: A brilliant ebike with outstanding performance

    My thoughts are the pack is currently 40 cells. Something around 3750’s would give 540wh. The delay for the bigger pack might be in securing sufficient quantities of higher capacity cells of sufficient C rating. Why engineer two different packs when you can get away with one. 40cells would...

    Odd the larger pack isn’t available from launch if the plan is just to add an additional 10 cells of the same type.

    YT Decoy first ride review: A brilliant ebike with outstanding performance

    Really? The following as an example are all 21700 cells from Samsung. 30T 3000mah 68.2g 33J 3270mah 68.9g 40T 4000mah 66.8g 48G 4000mah 67.4g 50E 5000mah 68.7g Cell weights has more to do with charge/discharge rate than capacity.

    That makes the assumption the 700wh packs will have more cells rather than the same number with a higher capacity......

    YT Decoy first ride review: A brilliant ebike with outstanding performance

    I dunno, I think Nasty Nick's comparison is probably more valid in the real world than a lab test. It does kind of fly in the face of other reports particularly from the launch. A conspiracy theorist might wonder if the press launch bikes were fitted with the upcoming 700wh packs.......

    At least we’ll be able to have a look at the new Bosch motor equipped bikes announced after the curfew lift next week.......

    YT Decoy first ride review: A brilliant ebike with outstanding performance

    Wonder if it has something to with some of the battery issues mentioned on this thread.

    YT Decoy first ride review: A brilliant ebike with outstanding performance

    I think you are right with the larger cells making the difference. Less stress under discharge leading to fewer parasitic losses. A buddy has a 700wh equipped Levo and it seems to use way less comparative capacity than the rest of us on 400/500wh packs on the same rides.

    YT Decoy first ride review: A brilliant ebike with outstanding performance

    For those guys who have received and ridden their bikes, how is the battery performance working out? What sort of altitude and range are you getting? Do you feel you are getting the enhanced range & performance Rob found in his review over other Shimano equipped bikes?

    Learning about fork rebound?

    Normally the reverse, + or turtle to add more rebound damping, slowing down the return to normal position.

    Hello from Durham, North East

    Hamsterley is cool and even better on an eeb. Everything is rollable on the marked trails. The left side of most of the features are small and work up as you move to the right of the trail.

    Ebike Garmin apps ~ UPDATE: new multi battery support

    In the Shimano settings list there is an option for Bluetooth LE to connect to ETube and also a Bluetooth Ant+ setting so might be worth investigating.....

    Decoy CF base vs CF pro

    Nothing wrong with that suspension, it can certainly take a hammering, maybe just not quite as refined as the top shelf stuff. Having said that the Yari came 3rd in a recent extended Bike Radar fork test sticking it to a number of Gucci products. YT certainly know how to dangle a carrot...
