A more cheerful post instead of packaging mishaps! I’ve done three proper rides on the e-sommet now. It’s a great bike. Amused myself today by putting Strava on and smashing kom’s everywhere! Such blatant cheating but I’m fat and old so I need some help!! I’ve never ridden a downhill bike but I don’t imagine they arent too different to this. It’s plush and will bulldoze anything although interestingly enough in finding it easier to lift the front wheel than on my analogue bike. I’m 5’7” and went for a small - pleased I did, fits perfectly and I wouldn’t want any longer although I will need to swap out the 100mm dropper. The tyres are bubble gum, draggy as anything on the road and I imagine the range will be much better on harder rubber. 20 miles today with the cork out and the battery was dead pretty much as I rolled down my drive. Rode for maybe 4 miles on mega eco which is no fun at all. Long/short I’ll be buying a second battery - it’s too much fun fully lit to eek out the range by riding slow. No regrets so far, will be back out tomorrow morning with a smile on my face
