Hi guys I've just bought my first ebike, a trek fuel exe 9.5 bottom of the range. I haven't ridden it yet, as literally got it yesterday. I've changed the bars, stem, forks, wheels and tyres so far to get it somewhere close to how I want it. I think brakes might be next but I like Trps so will try them out first.

Welcome
Enjoy your new bike

Welcome. That's some quick upgrades. My wife would have gone mental if I was switching stuff out immediately. I have to do it gradually.

To be fair I did get it in a sale so my total spend is still way under the rrp. My girlfriend just keeps her opinions hidden until an appropriate moment lol

Since purchasing my Whyte E160 I have upgraded: grips, handlebar, stem, headset and cranks (155cm). My next purchase will be brakes. Most likely Hope V4. I'd also like an AXS dropper but they will need to be this side of £400 before I even consider it.

So what made you make the changes?

400 right that's not going to happen not that I don't think there over priced.

I think I have changed most of the weak areas of the bike. As this is my first ebike I wanted it as light as I can afford, after buying it. It even feels noticeably lighter when picking it up. The forks and wheels were very heavy. I doubt i will spend much more on it now. It's time to ride it and see if I actually enjoy ebiking! I'm guessing I will

Well that wasn't a good start. Very first ride on a 10 mile road loop from my house and error 5401 constantly on. Switching on and off does nothing so back it goes to dealer.

That's really annoying. Sorry to hear that. Hope it's sorted quickly.
