New to MTB and first EMTB (Focus Bold2 Ltd)

[akkypac]

Just joined. Got the Focus Bold2 Ltd a few months back (thanks to Cycling Made Easy) and am loving the rides! The Shimano STEPS system feels very comfortable with plenty of oomph for the hills. Now trying to find local EMTB or other e-bike group for group rides.

Welcome mate ?

Have a group ride at Malvern festival in a couple of weeks, then we will be at Surrey Hills on July 1st, try to come along if you can?

Cheers
Rob.

Thanks for the heads-up, Rob! Please pass on details in due course.

Meanwhile, I've just purchased the Focus TEC pack so can take now take advantage of longer rides. Woohoo!

In the long run, if I decide to go for a full suspension EMTB, I can also use with the JAM2 or SAM2.

Welcome to the Focus family....as an old fart I went for a jam2. I totally love it , amazing how the miles add up and even with the “small” battery I get 40 miles plus with a mixture of power settings
Only trouble is we dont have any mountains in Suffolk!!!
Have fun

Jam 2 here too. I love the look and the built in battery doesn’t worry me. I’m riding up to 50 miles and still have reserve, despite the local terrain (Peak District).

Haven’t got the TEC pack as it spoils the looks and handling somewhat, but I guess if my rides keep getting longer, it might be a worthwhile buy.

Having a reserve after 50 miles is pretty good. You're obviously not using the Boost as much as I! I must admit that a part of me would have preferred more inbuilt wattage but, for most of what I do, it's more than sufficient. Had also sacrificed by *not* getting the Jam2 but I took a hit by buying 2 x Bold2 with one for my son. It was worth it for the enjoyment we're getting.

Interesting to see the Levo getting a lot of posts. For some reason, I wasn't aware of this at the time but I'm more road user than hard-core MTB. That's also quite a different price bracket.
