    Are 2nd hand ebikes pretty much worthless?!

    That very much depends if you have insured your bike separately rather than included it in your house contents insurance, I stopped paying £1400 per annum to insure a Yeti 160e and a Pivot Shuttle LT, I instead invested in Hiploks AX series of protection and alarmed my integral garage.

    Are 2nd hand ebikes pretty much worthless?!

    Why is it a £2500 loss, you've ridden it for 2 years or more, had smiles in your miles, it's pretty naive of you to think the value would stay static given the advances over the past few years, be realistic, it's probably out of warranty, high miles, if you're holding on to what is rather than...

    Check out Ribridesemtb on YouTube where he reviews the Yeti 160e in all it's glory. Feel free to ask anything about either bike, the Pivot has just been sold, it goes on Thursday, as I ride the Yeti a lot more but I can give you a true review. Cheers Gavin

    Good Evening I only get 400 characters, the Yeti simply outshines the Pivot on every level, sixfinity is I think superior to the DW Link, it's sharper both in looks and ride feel, simply bottomless and fast as F*ck. Ask anything you wish.

    Thinking of buying an EP801 bike? Read this

    2 years on a Yeti 160e EP800, 2360 miles, no issues, Pivot LT Shimano EP801, 11 months old 800 miles no issues, I would think that with the amount of units produced and sold world wide the odd lemon is bound to slip through, put it back in the hands of the retailer who sold it to you.

    Brake recommendations

    I've run Shimano XTR's for 15 years, analogue and E-bike, never an issue, find something that works and stick with it.

    OneUp Carbon vs E Carbon

    Ditto,have and ridden both, for me the one bar that trumps both is the PNW Loam Bar.

    Orange bikes,why the hate?

    W Well back in the day here in beautiful Yorkshire it was like it is now, now it's a choice of Samsung or Apple, similar back in the day with bikes, Orange or Pace,for me, Pace won every time, the quality of frames and forks, I had Pace Monsters on a Santa Cruz Super 8, their quality was simply...

    Santa Cruz Vala

    Your description of what you don't like and what you're looking to upgrade makes a great argument for a frame only option.

    Orbea Wild vs Yeti 160E

    2 years plus on the 160e, I can only report good things, 2 plus years trouble free, not even an error code, choose your weapon wisely but if you're not into following the crowd I'd put your money firmly in the Yeti camp, whatever you choose, enjoy the ride.

    Shimano EP8RS (EP801) and phone charging options

    It's called planning ahead,just charge your phone as you would your e-bike battery and enjoy stress free riding, you're creating your own problem.

    Yamaha is THE Leader by the millions!

    So, over a period of 31 years they have produced 5 million drive units, which is admirable, so why aren't we all riding them?

    Bike stand recommendation

    I second that, with adapters it slides into any crank.

    New Pivot E-bike Spotted

    There was a time that the bike / brand was the determining factor when purchasing a new bike,now it seems that all that matters is the motor, makes me wonder if we will ever see the time when we purchase the bike with a choice of preferred motor as motor choice is becoming as divisive than...

    Bosch gen5 bikes, which ones do you like?

    If pushed then the Crestline but with their limited number run it doesn't instill confidence. Santa Cruz after 20 plus years of VPP and their patent having expired have come up with a real contender but have shot themselves in the foot with having a non-removeable battery and only 600wh. I've...

    Does the bosch motor require a service to keep warranty

    Yes you do, I have an Audi e-tron GT, they plug the motor into diagnostic equipment as they do with any ICE car.

    New 2024 Heckler with loose battery issues.

    I wouldn't have taken them out of the shop looking like that, that's beyond poor.
