    Unanswered Bying first eMTB FOCUS JAM² 6.8 NINE or CUBE STEREO HYBRID 140 HPC?

    FOCUS but I'm biased as can only compare with Levo. Only advice I can offer is to buy from an accessible bike shop. Reading on here it seems on line purchases can lead to tears....Buying locally might be cheaper but local help is very confidence building. Whatever you buy you will LOVE it ...

    Riding with your non EMTB friends, what is the etiquette?

    Usually ride in OFF mode if its flat but as soon as the hilly/sticky bits arrive I accidentally switch the motor to eco! IF they discover my age they are usually appreciative ! Never had any grief though ......."Real Bikers" of any discipline are usually perfectly happy.

    Nice bike. Hopefully you will not need spares. One tip...unless you know what you are doing DO NOT dismantle your rear suspension......I did and it cost me a trip to the LBS to re assemble it! Have fun

    Not only bikes but also bike carriers are in short supply........I m in the market for a new one and the one that I fancy is OS at all the retailers I have checked. BUT I agree there are likely to be a lot of deals on used bikes once we return to nearly normal. A few of my pals have bought...
