Showed these pics to my paint guy that also does power coating and anodizing for a comment. He is of the opinion that even in Hawaii you should not have those issues with a bike this new. He lives in Rotorua, which has a very high sulphur content in the air and works in Mt Maunganui, a...

eMTB mode works very well. Personally, I use Eco and Tour mode way more than eMTB and Turbo almost never. That is mostly to conserve battery life as my fat ass drains them fairly quickly, but also that I want to put more effort into my ride and use assist to balance the extra weight of the...

Have owned a 2019 Scott with the e8000, a 2019 Levo with the Brose and a 2020 Scott with the Bosch. To me, the most natural feeling was the e8000 - did everything in a nice manner and everyone that had a play on it felt comfortable fairly quickly. The only reason I moved on is that my svelt...

Well, surgery is done and dusted with recuperation mostly done as well - just fitness to regain now. Soooo - after a few sidewalk rides and a 30k rail-trail ride I decided to hit the dirt and start to really evaluate the beastie. Hit the trails at Rotorua and completed my favorite loop - with...

You can loosen the battery cover and slide it to fit better. Looking at those pics it looks like it is sitting a little high. My 900 tuned is 23.5kg with XTR pedals, a bottle cage and assorted frame wrap.

Haven't seen them in a store anywhere I have been.

yer - great idea. Or we can show others around our local tracks.

I think it can sometimes be counter productive to go too short in the travel. Basically, when you go shorter you are usually going to have steeper head angles, which gives sharper steering and twitchy(sh) handling. I would recommend something from your LBS rather than an online purchase and...

The wheel-beds don't look like they have been slid out to their maximum. I also found on mine that it fits best if the crank is in front of the upright. (I put some foam tube insulation over the uprights as well, too stop any hard rubbing.

True 3400 Lumens Gloworm XSV. Me, I run a pair of Gloworm X2. These days they are 1700lm but my older ones are I think 1400lm each. One on the bars and one on the helmet. Gloworm X2 Prior to those I ran AyUps and raced many a 24hr event with them, but they are like 700lm and as I got older I...

Before chiming in I talked to a Giant dealer and asked. Locally Giant has sent down a replacement unit and they have just swapped motors. Bike went in on a Wednesday and was picked up Friday for a weekend ride. My own opinion, unless there is indication of misuse bearings are covered by...

Had a 2019 Scott Genius eRide with the Shimano e8000 motor and a Levo Comp. Sold both and bought a 2020 Scott Genius e900 with the Bosch motor. Yes I would like a slightly bigger battery - the 625Wh coupled with the Bosch motor is close to the Brose and the 700Wh, but that extra 75Wh would be...

Mixed ride on SAT, 5 SEP AT 10:00 Karangahake to Waihi & Return All welcome.

A world-wide trend I am hearing.

I thought it was something else, but this is what Cowell has posted on Twitnit apparently.

Shit happens. Had a quiet ride Wednesday afternoon around my local track and my back caused no issues the following day so am starting to plan a few missions. Maybe a couple river/rail trail rides first up then Rotorua, Taupo, Tokoroa.

No shit. Cracked a tooth Wednesday and have had a couple sleepless nights since - woke up this morning with a sore throat due to a mix of snoring due to the meds, sore eyes and a headache due to lack of sleep. I do IT at a medical centre that is also my doctor. Rocked up to do a couple jobs and...

Yup. Started on a 2019 eGenius with the Shimano e8000 then a 2019 Levo so I could run a bigger battery. Liked the Shimano more than the Brose in most situations and had a failure after a few hundred Kms so flicked it and ordered this beastie. Have been with a spine injury before I got it...

I prefer something like the NZO Cruiseliner and then a pair of shorts (or tights in the winter) rather than built-in liners & padding - far mopre comfortable to me.
