    Anyone else get called a cheat??

    E-Bikes, they just do all the work for you - EMTB Forums :) When I buy one if anyone even dares to try the "cheating" conversation they will either get ignored or receiving some suitably scathing response. :D

    EMTB high budget... buy now or wait till end of 2019?

    CO2 saving scheme to promote eco-friendly purchases. :)$ Hmm didn't know they had CS problems, interesting will check out the posts, thanks for the heads up. I think (or rather, assuming) that I can handle carrying an extra battery as long as it fits in a good and supportive backpack. in the...

    Hmm interesting thanks I guess I will need to check with YT! I will ask them and report back here. :) My policy goes until the end of 2020, so not too much rush! I do agree though that the YT looks amazing and would give me so much fun this summer. :) Not too long to fit into my backpack I am...

    You're right guys tech won't change too much. The only thing is that I think lack of fast charging will be an issue on weekend trips and I don't think the YT has that capability? Or can they theoretically add it later?

    Value loss on an emtb? - real world

    If you have a life with potential hardship and a family that relies on you to put bread on the table despite an inconsistent cashflow then you probably shouldn't be buying an $11'500 bike?

    EMTB high budget... buy now or wait till end of 2019?

    Usually I would agree, but it is not always sensible to apply this logic if there are about to be significant technological changes. if I buy now then in 4 months a new generation of motor is released i would regret it considering how long I intend to keep the bike. SO I want to be sure that's...

    I will check it out, thanks. :) EDIT - Battery is non-removeable except at the dealer, this is a HUGE no-no. Being able to stick in a spare battery is in my view is simply essential. I want a good all-rounder that I can tour around on through the varied Swiss countryside and ride trails and...

    The YT Decoy has a removable "semi-internal" battery, just undo a couple of screws and you can then pop in an extra one. :)

    Yeah OlaGB you have a fair point and I was also thinking that YT are not going to choose a motor that will soon be replaced or that was inferior... the E8000 really seems to represent the cutting edge of the more 'natural feeling' EMTB performance. I wonder if they will be able to support fast...

    EMTB high budget... buy now or wait till end of 2019?

    Hi 120 thanks for the feedback... I agree that the option of a larger battery is essential as I live in Switzerland so there are many thousands of KM of ranges to explore. I read YT are bringing out a 700kw at a cut price to owners which would be awesome. I also read that on this site new...

    EMTB high budget... buy now or wait till end of 2019?

    New member here so hello and hope you are all doing well! I am in the lucky situation where my workplace will pay half of any EMTB purchase (they will contribute up to 5000EUR, so a 10000EUR bike max). This means that I have the luxury of making a significant EMTB purchase, though of course I do...
