First ride out yesterday in south downs. View attachment 25312
I always struggle with going up hills and that was the reason I haven't been out on my other bike. The different mode is great and even on mid mode the assist is very good. Just need to learn how to maximise the range. However it is a heavy bike! The other thing I'm not 100% sure about is the dropper post that comes with it. For some reason I have to push it quite hard for anything to happen. Is it because it's a cable type?Awesome!! How are you enjoying the TQ??
Not sure if it is the same dropper as on the Alltrail Flyon that I have, but mine works easily (as does the one on my friend’s Alltrail).I always struggle with going up hills and that was the reason I haven't been out on my other bike.

thanks for the tips. I'll have a look on Komoot for these routes. The Aviemore idea sounds good. I have a motorhome and if there are locations where I have various, it saves me moving sites. CheersIf you want an easy but really good trail then do the Great Glen Way down the Caledonian Canal. Lovely country and places to stop/eat. If you want a more energetic but historic route then the Corrieyairack Pass (google it) is brilliant and easiest from Laggan to Fort Augustus. Glen Affric has plenty of day trails or you can go all the way across to the West Coast.
Just be aware that even in May the weather can change quickly.
Ps. I should also add Aviemore as a base with loads of cycle routes into the Cairngorms.

Yeah really well, still getting used to the downwards stuff just the extra weight when it starts getting twisty. But having a great time. Once I’d set up the suspension for my weight was spot on. The technical climbs are great the motor does everything I need it too and the battery life is great. I’ve gone as far as 28 miles with a good mix of modes and got home with 2 bars left. I’m planning a few mods but more than happy so far.How did it perform? I ordered one on Friday from the bike stable, so I’m eagerly pacing the living room waiting for it arrive.
First ebike for me so I’m proper excited.
Sounds like your having a great time. The colour looks awesome too. I did have some concerns about the weight but I like the feel of a sold bike underneath me so I think it will suit my riding style. Have you considered the additional battery?Yeah really well, still getting used to the downwards stuff just the extra weight when it starts getting twisty. But having a great time.

It definitely feels planted and a lot more stable through the rough stuff especially with the 29er on the front it’s ploughs through everything I’ve thrown at it. The weight isn’t an issue I’d rather have the battery and motor power over a super light E-Bike. I have and I have enquired with my local haibike dealer to come back to with some prices see what they. I know a spare in tube battery would cost £700/800 and be larger size than would attach on the rail system, so see what they come back with.Sounds like your having a great time.
