Not really much of a choice is it? Bloody stupid Brexit. Would rather have the Voima. Looks cool.
Going to buy a Levo comp alloy - unless I...
Thanks again - until now - no I had no idea but had latched onto the Heckler as something that would fit me, and thats always thought number one when it comes to anything in my life (the car, trousers... a bed...).
Ultimately I know there is no such thing as a "bad" bike, they all have the same...
Biggest thing putting me off this one is the weight. The Flyon scarred me from weighing way too much so I sold it. I'd rather be lighter. Also not sure on servicing and or returns if it turns out to not be good?
I have not tried it, never. Hard as getting the size and a demo is tricky.
Put it this way, I drive a Tesla Model S, the 4wd, power version, will I enjoy the EP8? :D
Thanks again for this - turns out I could get one shipped to arrive tomorrow from 3-4 stores without too many issues!
But you're my height, lighter than me by 20% but still we know we're not small! SO the range working out all ok for you is great, means it should be more than good enough for...
Didn't realise this thank you - my 2018 did but I had some how figured you couldn't now, must have read the website wrong!
However - given you have to flip the bike or have it on a stand to remove the battery - it might as well be fixed in permanently to me, I don't have the space at home to do...
Well - they're daft then :D I want to be riding a bike to looking at emails waiting for a shipping note - and if it really was 10 weeks that may be fine but as others have seen - it's supposed to have shipped in April and didn't, September is not a guarantee!
Real good to hear of someone the same height with a Specialized and it works - I thought I could see none in stock but seemingly they have two websites, just to confuse. Getting good range out of it with your size and specs? No worries with battery not being removable etc etc?
Hadn’t looked at the megawatt, looks huge, and it comes in yellow which is worth everything to me. But the battery is 630, so 15% smaller than the Heckler, though it is still removable which is a big bonus.
Quite heavy though, Basically 25KG. Is that heavy nowadays? I’m scarred by the Flyon...
Thanks for this - yeah I am not keen on any carbon really, seems a risk. I might be looking to lose weight but I haven’t lost it yet!
The resistance to mullet is… not really based on real things - more that as a massive bloke, just like you, I have been out of place and daft looking stood next...
I think it’s worse in some ways, they have been in order since April I think and keep slipping. Santa Cruz haven’t answered my emails about it yet either
They do indeed - in fact the dealer I was trying to get a heckler from - has a Mondraker they tried to sell me

But, the reach is 500, so still quite a bit shorter than the heckler, and they don't have removable batteries which is...
Looks like the S6 has the reach - but they only do two bikes in that size, and the only one within my reach is mullet, doesn't have a removable battery and also only has 500wh battery so would pass on those parts sadly :/
Honestly a bit of me doesn’t like TREK in massive letters down the side 😅
but, the Trek Rail 9.8 XT isn’t that much more than the Heckler - it’s the size that really really worries me. I’m truly massive and far too long for everything from cars to beds. You feel cramped at all ever or..?
