Cheers R120 - it's the new Bosch bikes I'm looking at. I considered the TEC pack bikes but figured I'd probably be taking it with me all the time anyway just in case so it didn't work for me
Cheers, I suppose it's only £11 a month extra over the 24 months so I'll just drink a couple of bottles less wine and not have to worry that I've done the wrong thing! ?
Controversial ?
I went to look at a 2018 S-Works Turbo Levo for £5k but it sold the day I went. The only other option there in my budget was the '19 Turbo Levo Comp but I was loathed to spend £5k for the spec level when the 2020 bikes are so close. I haven't completely discounted it but I...
Afternoon all,
I've been to look at a few bikes recently but I'm still edging towards one of these two. From comparing the specs they look almost identical apart from saddle/grips etc apart from the obvious suspension components.
The 6.7 has a RockShox Recon RL (presumably 32mm) and the 6.8...
Popped over to the shop and can you believe it, the S-works sold today ?. The ‘19 FSR Comp was in stock but at the very top of the budget with a 500wh battery I’m not sold on the value despite it looking like a great bike. They offered a loan of one for a day so I’ll probably take them up on...
Cheers! After watching a pile of videos I think it's probably more bike than I'll ever need. I've googled but can't find any decent comparison videos between the '18/'19 bikes. I know there won't be any '20 comparisons but if anyone has any links to the downsides of going for the 18 Levo over...
Thanks for the reply (y). I can only see the geometry changes, updated motor and battery between the 2018/19 s-works, also the suspensions changes to Fox from Ohlins. Other than range would those changes make sure a massive difference (assuming the geo is ok for my height - extra 25mm of reach...
Thanks, pretty much what I was thinking. It’s just so tempting with the discounts available on previous model years ?. I’ll wait and try the Whyte and Focus in August. I’m going to book a test of the current Bosch in a hard tail Cube in the next couple of weeks to get an idea of what the...
Evening all.
I’ve been looking at the 2020 Focus Jam2 6.8 or the yet to be released Whyte E-150 S but whilst checking I’ve come across the Scott eRide 710 which is a great spec, but the previous generation of Bosch motor. The Scott is available with a 20% discount as an outgoing model (£4560)...
The E-150 S is only £150 more than the Focus Jam2 6.8 Plus. I’m not sure exactly how well the spec compares (still researching) but these two are the ones I’m currently considering. It’d be nice for Whyte to get a bike out to reviewers at least but apparently not much is happening until the...
Cheers R120, yes, they've already agreed to it (y). I've just been up to Sutton Bank Bikes and they don't have any more info they can share about the Whyte although they're getting one in when they're released and I believe they're going to try and sort out a demo day. They do accept GCI now too...
Thanks, I can charge the bike at work and also at home without removing the battery although the ability to take it out would be good. Ideally I’m looking at sub-5k price range. It’s a crazy amount of money for a bike and I’m still getting my head around it but needs must.
Top of the list at...
Iaen at Venture Cycles? Yep, I’ve emailed him today but he doesn’t have any full suss e-bikes in stock. If I decide on a Focus though I’ll hopefully be getting it from there as it’s so handy and he’s got a good reputation.
Thanks R120, I’ve just found a spec list at onyerbike so presuming that’s correct it’s another one for the list. I’ve fortunately just found another dealer 10 minutes away so I’ll pop over at lunch tomorrow (y)
Is it possible to get any more information on the Whyte’s On t’interweb? I have a good stockist that I’ve used before but it’s a 50 mile round trip to visit.
Thanks,
