Hello

Just about to dip my toe into the emtb world. I wondered if there was any downloadable help guides on emtb's. The do's and dont's of owning a emtb and how to look after it.

Thanks in advance

@Steve33 Welcome to the Forum.
To answer your question: I have never looked but I've never noticed one. But the magazines are full of handy hints. You'd best be looking on this Forum as I really believe that is is the best source of info, so stay close!

You could start a thread "Do's and Don'ts of owning an emtb and how to look after it"

I would start with.

Ride as many different emtbs as possible and decide what features are turn offs and must haves.
Don't choose to suit your current skill level, chose to what you aspire to do. But be realistic.
Buy your first emtb from the closest possible dealer, do not import one yourself.
Do NOT use a power washer! True for any bike but especially true of an e-bike.
Learn how to get the best out of your battery; for ex. don't store it full or empty.
Get used to the idea of staggering levels of depreciation, even more so than with an analogue bike.
.........enough!

There are usually various riding clinics, such as an enduro and a bike park. See if they can be found in your area, those clinics are usually really good and will correct the mistakes right from the start.
