New to EMTB

First time E-biker!
To be honest as a keep mtb/enduro racer etc... I'd always thaught e-bikes were for people who didn't fancy pedaling and would handle like pigs... How wrong I was. My Yeti SB130LR is already sold as I just don't see me riding it now I have this.... what a machine!

Pic from 3 shires head on my first e-160 ride last weekend.
I’ve now put some mavic E-deemax wheels on, procore and michellin e-wild tyres after exploding the stock rear tyre at the end of the first ride - much better!

Planning to install my magura MT7’s, put a charger 2.1 in the Zeb and up to 170mm. Also have a super deluxe ultimate booked in a J-tech for custom tuning so hopefully thats both ends of the bike sorted. - hope a water bottle still fits when it’s in!

Looks awesome mate; how are you finding the ride on the e160? Is the bosh rattle really as bad as the reviews say?

No, its not - not on mine anyway.

if I concentrate really hard when its very rough i can hear something, but its very quiet, not at alllike the review vids you see on bosch gen 4. The bike overall is quite quiet. MUCH better than the trek rail I test rode, that was ridiculously loud to the point i thought something was about to fall off.

Hi, I'm Gianni and I write from Italy. Yesterday I picked up my new TREK RAIL 7 e-bike, it's still in the garage and I'm waiting for Saturday to do the first trail.
I am an expert biker and after numerous mtbs I bought the first emtb two years ago, CUBE STEREO HYBRID 160 Race, which has never fully satisfied me.
I discovered this forum looking for information and photos from life of my Rail, the chosen color did not convince me ... but live it is really beautiful.
Excuse my English ... but I manage with google translator!
