I noticed in Avoriaz in summer they had a charging station, but it was only for Bosch. However it was also free.
I think as time passes we'll find more availability for charging..
Sadly though until manufacturers go single type of port, it won't be generic/easy.
You'll get lots of people who are all sanctamonious about "oh i only ride in Eco, sometimes i turn it off"... muppets :D i bought an ebike to give me MORE than a manual, not less. Why would i run it in eco... if i want virtually no assistance i may as well buy a lightweight XC manual bike
I don't ride it in Eco :)
I ride it in whatever middle mode is called, green light on mine... I'd exepct to get 40 miles with say 700m of elevation using that...
I'm heading to Surrey Hills on the 3rd Oct afternoon if that helps you ? Peaslake way.
Where you based mate ? You can meet up at FoD/somewhere and spend time on my Rise.
FWIW i ride a Specialized Status 160 too bit of riding, racing, chasing... i'm no slower downhill on the Rise than i am on the Status160. But i can go to places like Hopton and ride to the top of it, then down...

I swapped a trek Fuel EX9.8 with a guy for a brand new Specialized Status and cash my way. The deal was £2650 to me.... He had it up on Ebay etc for £2350 for 6 months, he's now dropped it to £1850. This was a 2022 full carbon bike and absolutely immaculate, it retailed at £6500....
The second...
A 19stone guy is never going to find some bikes appropriate, that doesn't mean the Rise can't enduro and can't jump well. It can do both brilliantly, but maybe not when you're a big old unit (i'm not slim by the way).
The way you comment basically makes out like the Rise is a noodly piece of...
Wasn't the best. This was in morning practice for the boy just before seeding run. We ran round the paddock and managed to buy a set of Shimano Saint cranks and BB and get it all fitted in time for seeding. It was the DH National at Rhyd-y-Felin. He stuck it in 14th in seeding and the next day...
