G'day forum, just taking care of my obligatory newbie post. I'm Alex 49, I like riding my bike and playing my guitar. My first ebike was a 750w rear hub hardtail mtb which was a complete death trap. Mechanical brakes, no sensors, a cadence pas system which took about 3-4 seconds to realize that no-one was pedaling. That 3-4 seconds was when most of my crashes occurred. After too many near misses and some crashes I did what I should have done long ago. I bought a helmet. Now that i was fully protected I needed a bike that didn't want to kill me. So I decided to go deeper on 'bikes' and I did. So now I have a full suspension emtb with the bafang m620. It's not a high end spec bike but for my usage needs it does everything well, ie commute, ride trails, backflip road gaps, etc. I'm not ashamed to say that i giggle like a little boy every day since the new Steed arrived. EMtbing is so dam cool I can't explain, you's know. cheers

Hi Alex
Welcome to the forums.
That takes a lot of talent to ride an eMTB and play guitar at the same time. Awesome .

I don't consider myself super talented. I just work harder than anyone else trying to master riding an electric bike whilst playing an acoustic guitar.

I respect the hipsters for their efforts I don't respect the bike choices here though, who the hell rides a rigid while playing guitar? idk it's a weird world.
