    Which SL Ebike for enduro riding ?

    I am going to put a plug in for the EXe. I have been riding it for about one year. It was my first e-bike, and I didn't want a 55-pound bike that felt like it weighed 55 pounds. I find the EXe a complete blast to descend on, and I don't feel the weight of the bike and motor any more than I did...

    Is a nice Emtb a bad idea to take camping?

    As others have suggested get an ebike if that will allow you to get out and have fun. As for suspension, it will smooth your ride; you don't need 150 mm to ride on Fireroads. 100 to 120mm will work fine for that, as well as the smoother single track you may try. A hardtail may work fine; take...

    Chainsaw and bag for clearing trails?

    I don't agree with you for even a second, Chainsaws are dangerous. I was a faller on a firefighting crew, organizations don't have rigorous months-long training programs because using a saw only requires common sense. For the OP - either stick with your handsaw or try a small battery-powered...

    Let us know what happens. Mine just started a very similar noise and circumstance. The shop has the video and are looking into it. And yep, everything is tight and the software is up to date.

    Wrist pain. Does bar rotation make a difference? (Update + back sweep)

    I'm going to suggest that the 800 mm bar width is excessive and a good place to start. You can find some online calculators. Do a pushup and measure that distance, a starting point. Steve

    I usually turn it on before I get on it, so that is probably not the problem. Which is too bad as it would be an easy fix.

    I'm having a problem where my power input indicated is lower than the actual input. I am basing this on my HR, perceived effort and previous rides on the same hill. It seems to get " stuck" in the 40 to 60 watt range. In one case it seemed to self correct and went back to a believable 120- 140...

    Unsure what this is

    It is your implant! Put it in your left ear and it will slowly integrate itself into your body. Ultimately providing the best of control for your bike while sharing your thoughts with Trek; this helps them improve future bikes.

    Fuel EXe Trek Fuel EXe Power Application

    The motor doesn't like a slow cadence, below 70 and it doesn't provide much reward. I look at it as a "bike riders" bike, if you like to ride at 50 rpm it probably isn't for you. I find it hard to believe that most or any of us ride consistently over 100 rpm, pro cyclist - probably, amateur -...

    Cool thanks! My 200w solar panel and 2 6V 100Ah batteries might be a stretch for that job. I too am loving the light weight and quiet motor on my Fuel EXe, it only got 150 km's last fall before winter set in, spring should arrive soon. Steve

    I can't help but wonder if you are adding a battery and that weight to the frame that maybe something like the Trek Rail would be more suitable? Then you wouldn't have these range issues, messy battery holders and changing the battery trailside, etc.? Please enlighten me. Steve

    Looks cool, mind sharing the solar panel wattage, battery setup and inverter capacity? I am hoping to achieve the same bike charging on my trailer, so far I don't have an inverter.

    How are you hooking it up to charge the battery? Does it have an inverter and you just plug it in or???

    Has anyone done the software upgrades for the EXe? Did you notice a difference? How many upgrades are available now? Mine is hanging in the basement waiting for spring. Thanks, Steve
