Black Friday Deals? Most Comfortable E-MTB for trail usage - Bosh gen 4

[rzr]

of course those discounts are cuz Bosch gen4
I doubt Bosch will just 'forget' about all 'old' bikes/models....there are millions, also EU forces manufactures to support old models for at least 7 years.
also there are also other repair shops (not owned/authorised by Bosch)

They are not Black Friday sales only is what I meant. Hope they won't, but where can you buy Shimano motors or batteries? It's not given, especially during this time when there can be serious stoppages in production in coming years.

I have Gen 4 … Crazy depreciation when you buy a 7-12k bike.

Thought about selling selling my Rail 9.7(2020). But the upgrades I put into it …I would never recover a fraction of that.

So I’m gonna rebuild it. Motor, suspension and a major overhaul service. Hopefully I’ll be good for a few more years.

well... deprecation happens also because of a geometry, and a lot of older ebikes (like your Rail), had not so aggressive geometry (they were at least 5 years behind current (at that time) progressive trail and enduro bikes).

What eMTB do you have?

What eMTB do you have?

I had Rail (2021) for a moment, but it was like an "old trail" bike
I've changed to Levo g3 - main reason was full integration (I didn't like Bosch feeling, massive displays and controls and lack of customisations) and aggressive geometry, pretty long reach, short chainstays, slack head angle and weight from a battery quite close to a motor (better than in most of Bosch bikes, cuz Bosch batteries are big/cumberstone and it's not possible to put them close to BB)

(now I run it with 170mm fork and Cascade long travel link)
