Thanks to JoeBlow, Mikerb and Mteam. I did 56km yesterday with 11m climbing. All of the technical riding in EMTB mode and it was a major improvement on my ride. Didn't lose time and concentration on swapping modes at challenging points of the trail. Always had the power I needed when necessary...

Ah thanks. I know that RS machined threads onto the Zebb arch to take a specific fender, but from what I saw that was a short fender only. I was wondering if the one shown was also RS specific and if not, would it fit the bolt pattern on the arch?

hi Markwright1983 can you tell me which front mudguard you fitted? presume it is Zebb specific?

Thanks Mikerb Going to try using the greater flexibility of the EMTB setting tomorrow. Will have to think about the dragging brake a bit. Sounds like patting your head whilst rubbing your tummy. Will require some practice.

Thanks JoeBlow I have sent you a chat message about possibility to meet up.

Thanks Mikerb, I will look into the EMTB mode more in the coming rides. I knew there was something particular about it, but hadn't investigated what it actually was. Could I ask how you approach the descents - ie are you still in EMTB? I have actually been dialling back assistance on technical...

Hi Mteam It was a typo in fact. I meant to say keeping up with my buddy easily in Tour mode not Turbo. Man if he could pedal uphill at Turbo speed he would be a world champion. My 1250 m climbing was in majority Tour mode. I did one blast in EMTB (couldn't resist) and as you say that really...

Final newbie post on the early experience of EMTB and the Whyte E160 S: Man the E160 is a leviathan. Weighing in at 25Kg you really feel it when manhandling and transporting. I don't notice the weight when riding, but loading, washing, gating, maintaining it is a lump. I use tow bar mounted...

thanks highpeakrider. I shall take a look at that and do some back to back runs - when the rain stops!

thanks Mikerb. Must admit that I spent so many years of my life trying to get the front end up, it has come as a shock to be landing rear first. I will try staying a little more forward in the taske-off. The version of the Zebb fork I have doesn't come with low speed compression adjustment other...

Few more thoughts on the E 160 S after a few rides: Firstly a quick note on the Large size (again) - despite only being 175cm tall. As mentioned in the earlier thread I liked the car park feel of the large. I realise that to many that is a bit of a nonsense as it is how it rides on the trails...

do you carry it on the roof rack? you must be very strong

Hi All Two weeks ago I purchased a Whyte E160 S. I thought it might be useful for the community and myself to state my reasoning for the purchase and discuss the sizing decision. I'll follow up late with early experiences of an E-MTB in general and the Whyte in particular. Here I'll state why I...

I did ride 20km single track yesterday and did have an enjoyable time. Feel I have to go and suffer on the road bike today to make up for it.

rode my E160 for the first time yesterday. Had an enjoyable ride, but did feel on a couple of occasions that someone had tapped one of my testicles with a toffee hammer. A pity because from a eating perspective the saddle was fine. I had a similar issue with my sons fabric saddle.

I hear you. I usually spend about 500 quid on second hand kit, so this has come as a huge shock already

it's the catholic upbringing

I also picked up my E160 last Friday. First E-bike. Slightly struggling philosophically, since cycling should include suffering. Therefore spent the weekend beating myself up on acoustic bikes. First assisted outing today (apart from the demo I did in Forest of Dean prior to purchase)
