    How many % discount you had when you bought your eMTB?

    Much to my surprise got 10% for paying cash rather than finance on my Cube in 2019. Got 0% interest credit card instead. Then in October got 10% on an Orbea Rise from another LBS. Both times, demand was out stripping supply. Ordered a motorhome last year and they also knocked the price down £3k...

    How many eBikes have you had/owned?

    2 so far. A full fat Cube which confirmed to me I needed one in my life and as a result went out more often, to different places and dramatically increased my mileage and skill level and then more recently an Orbea Rise which has increased all the preceding again plus my wife now uses the Cube...

    Rise extender question.

    Yes. Same on mine.Bike draws from the extender first.Connecting cable is a bugger to remove from the bike the 1st few times and impossible with cold wet fingers 😀

    Although I believe you may need to take the stated weights with some scepticism

    Same bike different spec

    Err yes .Some manufacturers not much more than a brand.They buy in components from manufacturers and assemble them into a composite product.I'm agreeing with you in respect of the challenges the bike "manufacturers" are facing

    Same bike different spec

    Yup, manufacturers (assemblers really) are still having major challenges complying with published soecifications. My Rise came with mismatched calipers.Btw the delivery date on my motorhome has been delayed 8 months on top of an earlier 5 month delay.They are also just essentially assembing...

    Just a poll to see how many people Kiox are falling off

    Mine came off during a hard decent even though the screw was in place. I think a brush with a passing brush helped Now use a lanyard

    Muc Off Jet wash

    First use or was it working last time? If you've not used it before, some have a safety switch to prevent usage if water pressure adequate

    Sigma have the M20 in stock Medium.

    Surely you'd need a L or XL if really a Longfellow 😉

    Transporting your Rise

    Only on straight roads 😉 ! I prefer a tow bar mounted option with false cross bar.I never got over being a little nervous with a manual bike 😀

    Rise Bash Guard?

    Really? Just scroll down the page and there is an image of one fitted. It's the standard E bike version I bought.Only issue you might not like is it partially covers some of the graphics.

    Rise Bash Guard?

    I started with a Rockguardz. It lasted only a couple of rides before it shattered after a pretty light knock. Rockguardzs did not want to know (not impressed) so now have a Rockstop which fits pretty neatly and is rubber so more give. Fitchecker | Will Frameguard Fit My Bike? | Rockstop...

    Good mudguards for Rise?

    I've tried many options on many bikes and found that in order for them to work efficiently in the UK slop, then they need to be big. Comes down to simple physics really. Mudhuggers rear and Proguard bolt on, on the front for me

    H15 or M20 - paralysed by indecision!

    I am very happy with my M20 and bought a range extender as well but if the H15 was available I would have just gone for that for the reasons you've highlighted.Wouldn't see myself needing the extender. However my biggest mistake was buying a FF then upgrading my manual as well.The Rise is so...

    Anyone has tried to upgrade the rear disc/rotor brake to 203 on the RISE? How about the speed sensor magnet?

    My M20 is a centrelock with a bonded on magnet however with the shortage of parts, it might be better off waiting until your bike turns up as things might get swapped out depending on what's available.
