Old but New

[Mountainman]

Hello All,
New to MTB and new to EMTB, older to know better but young in the head!
My chosen ride is a 2021 Mondraker Crafty RR.
Not done much on it so far but having taken early retirement, that might change, several other "hobbies" permitting.
I look forward to reading and possibly meeting some of you.
Good health to All.

Thanks, seemed like the bike for me, the right power, right motor, right "range" capability. It also happened to be available in the size I needed.

Looks like it was meant to be.
Best of luck with your riding adventures.
As you are new to mtb, I would strongly recommend some skills courses. Even if you are a long-term road biker, mtb skills are different and need some respect.

Nope, never really done any cycling, of any type. Ridden motorcycles for years though!

Availibilty is certainly a big factor at the moment

I would make the same point. Guys who have ridden motorbikes off road take to mtb quite easily, especially emtb. But if you have never been off road.......

Same here, been riding motorcycles since 1976 (still got one), been riding MTB since about 1990 and brought first eMTB last month (still got MTB as well) and taking retirement next year, so lots of riding planned.
