Haha, yeah the Lotus doesn't get a lot of attention lately. My Mrs says I have too many toys (currently looking for an adventure bike) but I say there is no such thing. ;)

My Norco Sight VLT comes standard with Eagle 12sp. Note though that Sram only rate the NX cassette, which fits Shitmano hub and has 50-11 teeth, strong enough for E bike use, the GX, XO and XX1 using XD driver are not rated strong enough for E use, also the lighter chains are not recommended...

They do the job, but I'm not one of those types that put a lot of value in rims, hubs yes but I find spokes and tension can play as big a part in how a wheel rides. No complaints so far, they are still holding tension and true.

The spec sheets on standard 27.5 to 29 in 160mm travel list 18mm difference, I just fitted mine and measured more like 12mm, but I don't know if there is a difference with the E specific forks to the regular chasdis in dimensions. Hopefully get a chance to ride it tomorrow.

No the E specific fork only comes in 160 due to the internal air shaft using a 34 diameter with the thicker fork tubes.

Have a Fox 36E+ Factory comming. Why.....just because.....? The standard 36E grip fork is actually doing a really good job, but I got offered a fork cheap, my LBS got the erong one in for a customer and rather than sending it back offered it to me. The norco actually uses a 36 27.5 chassis and...

Yes, friend running 2.8 on front and 2.5WT on back, he really likes the combo (not a Trance E though)

Depends a bit on whether your riding style involves pedalling across rock gardens and very rough sections or rolling them. I tend to pedal everything. Rode a new trail last night, a few rock sections, a few medium gaps and a few small drops (4ft). Bike performed well. Was trying a new front...

No, I must say though the Eagle chainring holds on much better than the Shimano one, and it was a pretty serious trail I was on, never done it on any other trail so far.

Shimano one won't fit with the way they integrated the motor into the carbon frame, the carvon wraps right around behind the chainring.

Also trialing a prototype chain retention device. Dropped the chain a couple of times, but this was on a very rough, steep downhill trail. If it works I'll make a better looking version. ?

No it's not. Only drawback I've found is charging, has to be done plugging the bike in. Having it bolted it the frame the design has been able to kept it light and stiff and with a 620w battery (bigger than most Shimano bikes) the overall weight is light as far as E-bikes go. Mine was just under...

The VLT is really playful, I was quite surprised, not what I expected from an E-bike. I usually ride and dabble at Enduros on a Norco Range.

My young fella borrowed my Wifes E-bike for a bit of Adventure riding too.

Picked it up a month ago. Certainly makes self shuttling some descents a lot easier.
