Hi All.
First post for a while.
I've mainly been commuting on my Merida e160e. It's fun and my average speed on the 34km round trip is around 22km/h. That means a reasonable commute time.
But recently, I've started using the bike on some local, well used trails. I've had a blast doing it...
Hi all.
I purchased a bearing set for the E8000 from the Australian agent for Performance Line Bearings a while ago. And decided today was the day to do the bearing replacement.
But I struck a snag when trying to separate the cases. My through axle has a collar on the left hand side that...
I ride a Merida with an E8000 motor that has done around 5000kms. I can't complain about the power level or overall performance. It suits me well but the motor is getting noisy and I suspect it's bearings.
I see the E8000 can be replaced with the EP8. Not trivial, but possible.
How many...
I was hopeful that a small Australian company was going to bring a good product to market for a reasonable price. I probably would have bought one. But after a great start to to this thread, the subject just seemed to fall off a cliff.
A sales lady at the Trek shop (in Woolloongabba, Brisbane) told me they would find out in July/August this year if they would be receiving the bike next year.
It doesn't sound very likely to me. And my guess is prices would start at $12000.
Hi All.
I really like the idea of the Fazua driveline. In Australia, it seems the only eMTB option is the eZesty. It's dear as poison and almost as rare as rocking horse poo. I won't be able to try it before buying.
But my local-ish Trek store is very likely to have a Fazua powered Domane...
I currently ride a 2018 Merida e160 900e and really enjoy it. It's got around 4800km on it now. I bought it to get back into riding (57 years old) and to get over the dread of the two killer hills near home on the 3 times per week commute to work (34km round trip). I used to dread these two...
