Grand Canyon:ON AL 8.0 Was looking for a cheap road bike for my wife and the landing page had this on it. Has anyone seen this?

I have almost no mountain bike experience, so I was hoping someone could chime in and share their opinion of this bike given the position of the rear suspension and the design of the seat post. Any thoughts how this may compare to other common eMTBs discussed here? I'm looking for a gates drive...

That's exactly what I've been looking for, interested to learn more.

I test rode one. Felt like a boat, difficult to turn. But it went down the hill in a straight line very well.

What's the cost to send it to Germany?

Apparently its a nuvinci 360 connected to a Continental mid drive unit. Almost nothing on youtube about how it rides/compares except showroom videos.

I haven't yet. I've been off and on about the purchase for a few months, but ultimately what I really want is an internal hub rather than exposed mech, so I'm waiting for the next years releases to see if any manufacturers will have that on offer. If they put a Rohloff on it I'd have already...

I test rode a 2019 Giant Trance e+ this week and got 33km with about 1000m vertical climb over 3 hours. I was running about half the time on the 3rd or 4th highest power setting the rest on the 2nd and didn't have any record of my cadence.

But if you spend 1000 you could reduce your drive train weight by 100g? :D

This would be the first MTB, so no prior knowledge, e or non-e, for someone who has enjoyed riding fire roads and small trails on a city bike (as best as one can!) and wants more.

Is it better to drop the cash on a solid bike with final components, or a dirt cheap bike that you can abuse into the ground while you learn how to (e) mountain bike? For example, a cheap €2600 Ghost Kato Hybrid or a solid €4500 Commencal Meta Power 29 Ess. Fox as the first eMTB to learn on...

So I've gotten past the research stage to the about-to-purchase stage, and I'm planning to order a Meta Power 29 Essential Fox. It was between the Spectral:ON and the Meta Power 29. I'm focused on trail riding and exploring, plus other utility like pulling a kids wagon. It's my first ebike and...

I had written to Canyon asking whether or not I could install a coil. They didn't give much of an answer whether or not it was possible, but they did say this: "We only tested our bikes with air forks and rear shocks. A usage of coil forks and rear shocks will not be covered under warrenty."...

What are the dimensions of the coil you used?

How are you guys finding the Spectral so far, and the purchase experience?

I received a second message from Commencal, looks like this one had been through the legal team. Here it is translated by google translate (DE -> EN): [--] thank you for your message. As you already wrote correctly, such axle assembly solutions are rather foreseeable. In addition, there is a...

Cool bike. Still hoping we still more eMTB's with internal gears in the future :geek:

I also wrote the Commencal for a comparison, and this was their reply (much better customer service it seems like) [I edited the picture he sent to remove identifiable facial features, hopefully that doesn't break any EU regs or copyright protections!]: Thank you for your email, we appreciate...

I think if you used an external battery and a shimano motor + alfine 11 hub, you could get the weight down to 23kg or so, if any manufacturers are listening. :giggle:

I think it's 25kg, so pretty normal for an Ebike, as most are in the range of 23-28kg depending on size?
