I will join this "twins-club" very soon. Fuel EX in satin baja yellow has already arrived and the "e" will follow very soon!
Wasn´t able to decide between the two and took both. You only live once!
What a baller!

What was the price on the full 360wh vs the extenderI got fed up of waiting for the range extender to become available, so I bought myself another 360wh internal battery. I'll carry it in my bag on extra long rides and swap over when the previous battery hits 10%. So with two 360wh batteries I should be good for 4000 feet over 40 miles in 100% max mode, or twice that distance/height when being extra frugal.
I'll still probably get the range extender when it becomes properly available, and then either sell the spare 360wh battery or just keep it for mega long rides.
£538 for the full battery and end cap adapters Vs £529 for the range extender and cable and retention strapWhat was the price on the full 360wh vs the extender
So if you ride with a backpack it does not make sense to buy the range extender - IMHO£538 for the full battery and end cap adapters Vs £529 for the range extender and cable and retention strap
I suspect it will become a bit of a pain to swap the main battery over when is empty, vs just carry on riding with the range extender - its only 2 bolts though . But yes I think for a lot of people just getting another internal battery will be a better option than the range extender, especially because it give you another 360wh versus just 160wh with the range extender. so total of 720wh should be all the range anyone could ever need.So if you ride with a backpack it does not make sense to buy the range extender - IMHO
Probably not what you want to hear, but I didn't notice any break-in. It's been what it is since day one, and for 140mm+/- I think it's great. Though I'm used to, and prefer a bit more travel.How long did your suspensions take to break in and start feeling better?
It’s a 9.7. I just went with the recommended settings from the app and it just seems harsh on small to medium stuff. Then I lowered the pressures a little and it still feels harsh. Although lowering the pressures can sometimes make the fork blow through the initial soft part of the travel. That’s what it feels like with the lower pressures. But, I only have about 100 miles on it. So there’s that. I’m just hoping they free up a little.Probably not what you want to hear, but I didn't notice any break-in.

What shock are you running and what's your set-up & weight? What are you used to?
Hmmm, I probably don't have any useful advice since I started with a 9.8 and then swapped the Super Deluxe Select+ to an Ohlins. I do think the suspension works great with a progressive set-up (i.e. air shock w/ add'l volume spacers & <28% sag) so you can set the shock up to be soft initially but ramp up before bottoming out.It’s a 9.7.

Got the battery from je James ,and the end caps/ handle from AJ cycles. All in the ukWhere did you buy it?
I'm on the 9.7 as well and running the recommended psi for the fork and dropped the shock 14psi. Works out to 20% sag on the fork .. 28% (seated) on the shock... Feels pretty plush to me.

Wow I'm surprised that the full battery is almost same price as the extender. In that case it makes a lot of sense just to go with full battery.£538 for the full battery and end cap adapters Vs £529 for the range extender and cable and retention strap
That's what I did too. Extra battery all the way. the extender doesn't have that much extra juice either, making the battery a lot more attractive.Wow I'm surprised that the full battery is almost same price as the extender. In that case it makes a lot of sense just to go with full battery.
yeah - I'm kind of hoping that once the range extender becomes available the price will eventually drop to more like £300 which is probably more realistic pricing for the amount of WH it containsWow I'm surprised that the full battery is almost same price as the extender. In that case it makes a lot of sense just to go with full battery.
It certainly seems that way, much better Wh/$ value and availability sooner. I was 100% in, but I have read a few horror stories about injuries where people fell on their backs with batteries in their packs. That's why I was experimenting with strapping the battery to my downtube, even though it easily fits in a small back pack. This Osprey raptor 10 shown with the battery is the smallest hydration pack I've owned.That's what I did too. Extra battery all the way. the extender doesn't have that much extra juice either, making the battery a lot more attractive.
Got my bike today, and right away even before I rode it I noticed a knocking sound / feeling when lifting the bike.
First I thought it was a loose bolt, but I isolated the issue to the bolt at the bottom part of the shock not fitting perfectly in the 40x8mm hardware. The hole that is supposed to fit the 8mm bolt is slightly too big and the bolt can move.
Really annoying!!!
Now I have to wait for either warranty or just ordering the new bolt. For the sake of time I think I will just order the part but this is just super annoying.
Sorry for the rant.

On feb 8th, I heard mine was expected to arrive 3/20. Fingers crossed!… for all the same reasons I tried to order one with a new bike, but was told none are available (in Germany).
I have the exact same issue, the holes on my frame is already 8.2-8.3mm and no amount of overtorqueing stops the rattle. So much for using a normal hardware shop bolt that comes stock as 7.85mm! I have torqued this bolt so hard, I find it hard to believe that there is any movement at all! The knocking rattle is driving me bonkers.Got my bike today, and right away even before I rode it I noticed a knocking sound / feeling when lifting the bike.

So for my use.... under 3500' vert, stock bike in mostly Eco works.
<4500', I'm experimenting with these "max range" settings which basically brackets the 3 assist modes between/below stock eco/trail modes. These may still be too thirsty. My thought being if I can get 4500' in detuned Eco/limp mode, I'd rather do that then carry the 2nd battery for local rides on blk/dbl-black trails where I don't want to risk falling on a battery.
>4500', for some local "stacked loop" rides I can stash #2 battery. But most >4500' rides I'll attempt will be higher elevation backcountry rides, which aren't so technical so I don't mind carrying the battery & a water filter, and taking fewer risks.

For lower shock hardware, rather than wait on Trek, seems like you could replace most everything with aftermarket.Any ideas?
I am looking forward to that!It was good,nice to not be watching the watts all the time.
I ordered a set of fox bushings 8x40mm. I hope it fixes the issue.I have the exact same issue, the holes on my frame is already 8.2-8.3mm and no amount of overtorqueing stops the rattle. So much for using a normal hardware shop bolt that comes stock as 7.85mm! I have torqued this bolt so hard, I find it hard to believe that there is any movement at all! The knocking rattle is driving me bonkers.
I have basically taken the bike apart completely to see if its not anything else that rattles. It is especially pronounced on repeated hits on rocky sections, and you cant really hear it if you bounce the bike when standing still.
The rattle was there before my motor replacement (due to complete failure), so its not the motor or the bolts. Chainring lockring also fine. It feels like it comes from low in the bike. Derailleur? Chain?
Any ideas?
What about strapping it to the top tube? One won't need to read the display since remaining power is no longer an issue?It certainly seems that way, much better Wh/$ value and availability sooner.

I got the bike and pulling the display from the bike, and the e-bar does not seem to have room for this connector. It is 9.5mm wide and the e-bar supports up to 6.5mm.There is a video of a guy doing it with the Pivot Shuttle SL.
I'm considering it in my planning. I currently use a Fasst Flexx set of bars and I'm loving the compliance in rocky descents out here in Utah!
He did have to slightly ovalize the predrilled hole, but it looked more like just shaving a bit. That may not be necessary with the Exe.

Expect to have fun experimenting! The 3rd screen option, which shows rider output (Watts) vs motor output is really helpful. I have experimented with more assist/lower max wattage and vice-versa, and not really noticed a difference assuming the settings are balanced against each other (I use projected range to figure balance out).I am still waiting for my bike to get delivered, but the settings I was thinking of were:
Eco: 50% max 75 Watt
Tour: 100% max 150 Watt
Boost: 200% max 300 Watt
Can you tell a little on changes on pedal response how this impacts on pedalling?
The ONLY benefit I see with the extender is you can fly with the extender as its under the 160wh limit. Places like here in New Zealand domestic riding is easily accessed by air travel rather than car/train.That's what I did too. Extra battery all the way. the extender doesn't have that much extra juice either, making the battery a lot more attractive.
