If you end up not liking it and decide to change you'll lose less on that in a year than the depreciation on a high end bike IMHO, but it sounds good for your intended use - battery size, motor, suspension, brakes will be fine for XC and easy DH.
Hyundai i30; bike just fits in boot on its side with front wheel removed, rear seats flat and passenger seat fully forward. I use cardbord on the boot floor and rear bumper to stop scratches. Stand the bike behind car, bb on a small folding stool with piece of foam on it just the right size so...
When you shoot into the sun the auto-exposure reduces/stops down. Most phones/cameras let you compensate for that and get a better/brighter pic like this . .
True dat, but I've experienced the air-ground interface more in 1 yr on the MTB than in 40yrs flying . . managed to find a pothole at speed later yesterday, stopped my front wheel but not the rest of me. Feeling well battered today and new bits on order . .
Nice completey dry day for a change! Came across a few guys I know . . Geronimo! My view same place yesterday . . lot cooler up there than pedalling down here.
My favourite trail ATM - another month and back to normal, and hopefully less mud! Had to fight off the competition for lunch . . and avoid falling off on the wood ant nests.
All about the cost of locking them up. If we didn't have all the tax avoiding politicians and their non-dom mates constantly ripping us off and paying zero tax there would be more money to help with all social problems, roads, councils, NHS etc etc [rant over].
