    Focus Jam2 or Trek Rail - First time ebiker, long term biker

    I suggest another consideration might be the after sales service / warranty. Downunder I'm having no luck with Focus dealer but have never had any issues with Trek (I've own 2 Trek acoustics) .

    Old Guys Rule

    I like to think i will be riding another 10 years. I'm 57 and am now 2 years on my first emtb. I'm of the opinion emtbs (and ebikes in general) will allow the older riders to ride at a much older age than when simple acoustic bikes were around. I live in Canberra which is bike friendly with lots...

    Now that sounds like a fun weekend. Tathra, beach and test ride some Sl and kinevos... I did do a quick lap of the bikie store carpark on the Sl and it felt a lot like my Trek Fuel geometry wise..oh the choices.

    At what point do you upgrade??

    yeah I'm liking the lighter weight. That is what swayed me back in 2019. I rode the levo and trek (both 2018 models) for a couple of days and they had a truck feel... the focus was the most authentic trail bike feel at the time. need to try the orbea rise abd do a full day or 2 on the levo SL

    At what point do you upgrade??

    Nice... Cube is going gangbusters here in Aust. They sell out as they hit the floor. They have some great value bikes. Im hitting 2500Km so are you saying a E8000 will bomb out pretty soon???

    At what point do you upgrade??

    cheers... the lighter weight option is swaying me more than battery... but need a brand with better back up service than i am currently getting from Focus here in Aust.

    At what point do you upgrade??

    Im of 2 minds: The Focus has been lots of fun and I'm chatting with Trailwatts re an 252wh extender. Unfortunately the Focus dealer i bought from here in Canberra leaves much to be desired. i have been chasing a new rocker / both for over 3 months. So Im starting to think time for a new bike...

    At what point do you upgrade??

    Ok I guess many of us are in the enviable position of being able to afford an upgrade / new emtb. My question is at what point have you upgraded?? My current ride is a 2019 Jam2 9.6..so light-ish at 21 kg but only 378 battery. What would you upgrade to??

    Hi Iv'e got a 2019 9.6 Jam2 with the 378 battery...and while I very rarely run it down I'm thinking of an extender..but dislike the look of the Focus TEC pack. (also a few reviews say ride performance goes out the window with the wide-ish TEC pack). What are peoples experience with the...
