The Bike: Manufacturer: Scott Model: Genius eRide 900 Tuned Model Year: 2020 Price Paid: $11,800 (NZD) RRP New/Used: Brand New Score (out of 10): 8 Review: This is not a complete and impartial review as I am still damaged goods and due for surgery Wednesday so possibly have been...

Yup, if it can survive @Zimmerframe it can survive anything. Always wondered that about you :whistle:

Just buy the one that has the specs you like and have it wrapped in the color your wife wants. Keeps her happy and protects the frame - plus, if she likes a crap color that is not popular for resale you can take the wrap off. Be cheaper than a 2021 model.

To be fair, when I recently tested the Giant I was on a hugely used trail and was having to stop quite a lot as not so skilled riders were walking climbs that were a little tricky without motor power. Each time I was able to set off, clip in and nail the climbs effortlessly where I know on one...

Being the Black, Stealth Mode version hard to see how close it is to the bling-bling one in the pics. Glad to see another player in the marketplace however as I expect it will possibly make a change to the cost of the bikes in the long run.

I actually found both the Shimano e8000 and the new Bosch much more natural than the Brose. The older Bosch was similar feeling to the Brose however and the Yamaha a tad too abrupt.

Dammit @Zimmerframe - I have told you more than once, if your bike is talking to you and telling you it is happy that you are taking too many tokes .....

I am a bit shorter as I have gotten older - around 5'8" rather than the 5'10" I was when I was in my 20's - the Med fits me fine. I tried a Large Strike? and found it too large in the car-park run so I expect at 5'11" it should work well for you. Has the usual H/L adjustment on the Fox 36 and...

Yo @Zimmerframe - does the link for the vid work? PITA trying to figure out how to upload a vid from my phone.

Old Fart Test

Geez - I really hope not.

Me, I would send it back. If Orbea can't wrap their bikes to stop damage then I would buy something else. Hell, I would expect a brand new $999 bike to be unmarked (unless or course it was a more expensive one marked down due to cosmetic damage).

Bugger - that sucks. Would have thought with the bigger market you would have had a better choice.

Had a 710 as a loaner before I purchased my 920 and thought it was OK but never really liked the high volume 27.5 tires and thought my 920 felt more nimble. Both had similar range and I really liked the way the Shimano motor felt on most trails compared to the Levo. However, the new 900...

The new beast ............ fark I love this thing. I still have a borked back so have only played on the club track at the end of my street but even in my injured mode and way unfit after a month in bed and a couple more just hobbling about the house I am not too far off the speed/times I was...

My first eMTB Loved most things about it, but found it a little nose heavy when in the air and with my 112 kegs a little bit short in the battery department - only achieving around 40kms on my favorite loop.

The loaner - before I bought my first ebike

If I didn't decide to go way upmarket with the Scott 900 Tuned I would have definitely gone for the Trance E+ ) Pro or even the Reign E+ O Pro. When I was thinking of ditching the Levo I tried the Trance and was quite happy with it. Also tried A RM Instinct and a RM Altitude but did not...

Had a bit of a blast today around the club track. 16.4km, 194M climbing, 18.9kph average and had 30% battery remaining. Have not charged since I got it so probably had 12-15km nana cruising as well. Considering I haven't been on a bike since January I am kind of stoked as on race nights my...
