Newbie from Forest of Dean

[AverageJoeMTB]

Hi all, I ordered my new bike a few days ago. A Vitus E-Sommet VR from Wiggle (30 day returns so you can't go far wrong!). I currently ride a Radon Swoop 170, which I'll be keeping for bike park/uplift days. The E-Bike will be used to get out quickly in an evening and get around as many trails as possible. I'm very lucky as I live in FOD and have countless trails on my doorstep.

I've recently started uploading videos onto YouTube. Very basic POV stuff but I'm enjoying doing it. Link in BIO.

Looking to learn about my bike (Get it derestricted) and have some banter with all.

Cheers

Joe.

keep it standard mate, less risk to invalidate your warranty if called upon (if derestricted )
Not bothered doing it with my Kenevo, no need. I'm out digging again later

Cheers Paul. I'll be giving it a go standard to begin with. Anything you build doesn't need extra speed to get down

Be good to join for you a ride/build/photoshoot one day.

There’s a few of is that ride in the FoD most weekends and we’ve yet to find a trail where more speed is a requirement.

There are a few, but they are rare. Just means I can get around faster I'll be giving it a try stock before doing anything that's for sure.
