Its the exact same bike as mine including the same main battery and tec pac. Only difference is motor, wiring and display/controller. My...

    Steps E8000 odd sound

    mine is 9 weeks away from running out of warranty and just started making a grinding noise last weekend. It only does it after a couple of km's of first flat riding on my way to a local hill climb that I do regularly. I then get about 2 km up the hil (its 5 km to the top) its pretty steep and I...

    Jam2 Fork Travel & Upgrade...

    Back to your first question: I just replaced my 140mm Recon's for 150mm Pike. Don't notice the geometry difference at all. Ride quality however is night and day difference. The Pike is a "Magic Carpet Ride" compared to the Recon. My 115kg frame probably didnt help with the 32mm stanchions on the...

    My new bike was improperly setup and dangerous... what would you do?

    I'd check it over myself (whats half an hour in your life in the big scheme of things), then go riding!

    Revonte, motor gearbox combined

    It does look interesting but a bit of a shame about the small front chain ring. That's gonna wear out fast and need replacing quite often.

    YT launch 2020 Decoy with 12 speed Shimano and new colours

    I wonder how many people as part of their purchasing decision for a Decoy, factored in the widely advertised (by YT) "soon" to be released 700wh battery with special price for existing owners. I reckon a lot of those owners must be getting pretty impatient waiting for the promised 700wh battery...

    Overbiked on an eBike - is this a thing ?

    I agree with pretty much everyone above. Keep the Orbea. on a side note: I came off on 08 October and broke my shoulder and also shattered the top of my arm. Had the shoulder re-built on the 15th of October. I expect to be riding again (nothing technical) by end of January. I'm 58 years old and...

    Wanted Giant EnergyPak Smart Charger

    Hi Pete, again, I mean no offense, but it is becoming more common for these bikes to be stolen and in most cases the stolen bikes are of course missing a charger. I'm definitely not accusing you but feel that for our own safety as a community, transparency is a good thing and may avoid some...

    Tec battery

    I personally would concentrate on how much extra enjoyment you could get out of that extra 90 quid. The amount of angst you have already caused yourself by worrying about it is more than 90 quids worth.

    Fat fouk

    Thats a hell of a generalisation. you may want to discuss it with people like "the rock". He probably thinks you are puny and unhealthy or..... he may just be more broad minded(polite) than that.
