This isn't Pinkbike. We're people who bought an ebike with assist because we don't want to do training programs full time so we can ride trails fast. We spent our $ to avoid that crap. And we're riding eMtbs - many with lots of drag when over the assist limit, on top of the extra 10kg of weight...
Well, yeah, this is a clear example of why we have enforced limits - and I agree with enforcing some sort of limit as this behaviour is both ridiculous and ignorant/idiotic.
But 25km/h is too low. 32km/h please.
Disagree. On my local trails there's gap jumps that are comfortable at 30+. It shouldn't be harder for me to do those on an ebike. 32km/h is where I think it should be, it's perfectly achievable on a non-e ebike so should definitely be fine on a meaty-tired emtb with a lot of traction and...
Excellent vid. Sums it all up nicely once again. Not sure how I haven't come across that one before.
Or maybe I did ages ago and forgot about it :)
...and thanks for all the content. The Loam Wolf is a great channel 🍻
Thought this was pertinent:
I'd say that sums it up nicely.
Just happened to be surfin' the theloamwolf, this was an article from a guy new to eMtb.

I've been back and forth a few times. Because of cash restraints when I've changed either way from e to non-e I've generally sold and rebought. This has been my undoing, not having the patience to wait and just own both. I've done it three times now. I go back to regular bike, end up with...
I disagree. Relative to other air shocks, it felt coil-like, in my limited experience.
I ran one on a Giant Reign. At the time I had a coil equipped eMTB. When I put it on the Reigns' back end suddenly felt very coil-like. Stuck to the ground, oodles of traction. I set the settings as per the...
For shorter rides I put everything thing I need in this:

Longer I take a pack, but being in Brisbane...
I'm sorry - I was speaking generally rather than talking specifically about the Gen 3, in a Gen 3 thread :)
Given all the success people are having here with coils, and the general talk about how it's progressive and "the poppiest ebike" that you get in reviews, I'm reasonably sure it'd be a...
IME your problem is mainly just the DPS. I think it's a totally under-gunned shock for an ebike or anything more than light trail - it's a technical XC shock. I can't fathom why manufacturers insist on putting on them on ebikes even as a base spec. If you get an air shock with good bottom...
I actually decided to go with a Levo, I've put some cash down now. Levo for a variety of reasons, but one of them is the removable battery and prospect of battery hire in destinations like in NZ. Whether I end up using it, we'll see, but the option is there.
I'm sure actually drinking "responsibly" is fine :)
Fine as in the risks while increased, are not increased enough to be concerned about.
I'm just not capable of drinking "responsibly". I did give it about 3678 tries to make sure though. :)
I'm an absolute glutton when I drink. So I drink extremely rarely these days, only when I forget how painful the hangovers are :confused:
The old 'red wine a day is healthy' is being shown as false. Basically, science is now saying no amount of ethanol is good to be imbibing. Who'd have thought...
Here's the thing that wasn't obvious to an average person like me. Pros of all sports rarely hit sustained max efforts, especially so for endurance. Because it doesn't make you improve.
You can look into this and you'll find it to be true. So when someone like me goes out and kills himself for...
Yeah I'm in a similar place I guess. I'm 47 and have a 10 year old I'm co parenting, with little else exciting going on in life. I do have a ute, a Levo on the way, and now I have every second weekend to myself I can actually get out and see our country on a eeb.
