Just an update ended up getting eBarzo tyres seem like would shed mud well and roll well when not in it

I ended up ordering the Maxis Shorty v2 for front 2.4 and minion DD DH for rear 2.4, something didn’t take into account was the mudguards and rack on the eq - doh So both too big, will experiment with 2.3/2.35 Local Bike shop saying Vitoria might be good shout for single track. using hope...

Saw Magic Mary recommended before what version would you recommend? Super Gravity/trail/ground etc?

Thanks - Are they pretty fast rolling?, or really matters less with emtb, how they in mud?

Got a cannondale moterra eq on way have replaced wheels with hope wheels fortus 30, Also kept same brake disk and cassette so could swap out I’m like 130kg will be doing Forrest type tracks in Scotland ( land of constant rain) any recommendations for tyres front and rear, will be fair amount...

Was speaking to my friend and made me question my choice a little, wondering if should go for the carbon version as live in flat and need to cart up and down the stairs, can you use walk mode to help you up stairs or do some folk just take batteries or wheel off to make more manageable ? Can...

Thanks for the insights think going for cannondale eq, can take a rack and has good motor and range, gonna buy spare battery too, can get for £3,100 and will get 40% off with cycle to work, maybe replace wheels with dt Swiss or hope e-bike wheels

Gonna wait couple more weeks, been reading up every day on bikes that take a bit of weight. Cannondale lower down versions don’t have great spec, reviews seem be critical of deore for eq with rack, the hubs of wheels seems to fail pretty quickly, given weight carrying would fail quicker, can...

Hi, just looking at options just now for bikes, did you have any joy extending?

Thanks for all your help with this really appreciated New Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay Carbon 70 first ride review - this where getting from maybe different models have different max payloads, which model do you have?

Same battery Carbon Composite frame and live fork etc https://99spokes.com/en-GB/compare?bikes=giant-trance-x-advanced-eplus-1-2023%2Cgiant-trance-x-eplus-2-2023 Cant find weight guessing couple kg lighter?

Looks good actually, wondering if advanced is worth extra money Thanks for all info super useful

Interesting, what weight range are you in if you don't mind me asking. Mods sound like good shout, what are grip puppies? :) Is this the standard Trance or the Trance Advanced, have you considered the range extender as well, or takes up valuable water bottle space? Did you pop a rack on back...

Given some thought, I would feel more comfortable on a bike rated for a higher weight cracked a diverge and bianchi road bike 10kg ago, and at moment flipping between 3. The Santa Cruz heckler looks great, 720w battery and weaker Ep8 motor, although new version coming out next month assume...

Thanks some good insights will take everything you’ve said here to wittle down in my head as to what I’m looking for, is there a reason for Bosch over say Shimano EP8 at 85nm? Looks like can add coils to existing suspension to give more resistance is that correct. ?

So seems 131kg is too heavy for 90% of emtb, seen couple which are close to combined weight, Santa Cruz heckler 157kg, mondraker level xr 150kg, cube stereo hybrid 160kg,hai bike all mountain 4/7 150kg, giant trance 157kg, think could risk on these Orbea and Trek seems to be max total 130kg

Ah ok thought being in Scotland with wet muddy trails and not a small amount weight would need more torque if not will discount from the criteria

Ha Thanks will take a gander, Wild currently in running alongside rise, yeah would like assist rather than doing it all :)

Yeah suppose light bikes give you more battery options especially if have 2 range extenders could be up at 1000w will take a look at those with higher torque will google ones you’ve suggested thanks

Yeah be non technical downhill and nothing extreme like Nevis range or anything
