We have them and love them. Great geo,for the alpine enduro-type riding that we do. We're really impressed with the fazua ride 60 motors in terms of power and range. They are an obvious difference to our previous orbea 'full fat' FS Wild in terms of speed up steeper hills, but mostly this is...

You should pick up a local trail map (€5 or so from the local bike shops) which has uphill/ebike trails marked on it as well as all of the enduro/downhill trails. You can use it alongside trailforks or download the gps links with the map.

We love the Garmin (actually we find some of its functions slightly annoying as they are not always intuitive and just occasionally, for unknown reasons, it won't connect to the phone app) but once the trails are downloaded and set up they are so easy to follow. We use trailforks on the Garmin a...
Yeah. Something like that could work.
In last year's Pietra Ligure EWS E, they had one super steep dusty power stage and one that was not so steep but with a rocky gully and a few must-make rocky lines. I think the latter was much better for a competition as it required a higher level of...
Why would you drop the climbing stages? If you do, then you just have EWS with a motor (although the liaisons are very different). As long as they have a good element of technicality and are not just steep (which just favours the lightest rider) then the power stages reflect a big part of what...
Just saw some of the raw footage. It definitely looked like the Scottish weather added another layer of difficulty!
Good work getting up/down that in one piece!
That was the same with the Finale ews-e: the transitions were really hard and you really had to push the whole time(actual pushing for some of the time!!) I think they do need to be hard so that you need a good level of fitness and so that its not just ews with a motor...but maybe not quite SO...
Wheel lift Vs manual (I think that is what the above argument was about) is explained really well in this Trail Boss video.
Ryan Leech does a baseline basics online course which, if you've never mountain biked before, I'd suggest would be a great starting place before learning more advanced...
