I certainly would not of come to a different conclusion,everything the op went through,feeling he was was totally screwed and had lost all of his money was purely because of yt..just because the final result changed does not alter what yt did to him.and yes,because I'm up In the north east I would still have to order online.Well had you read it at all then you would have come to a different conclusion.
The motor can be replaced in the UK by Madison.
YT are as we speak opening a service center. So your online only comment is 100% wrong now.
I cant wait for YT's next gen bike with the likely new shimano motor. Ill pick one of those up on closeout even though i have only just got my current YT Decoy.
The Decoy is the one of the few gravity focused bike that isnt a Kenevo. Im doing 3-4 foot drops already on this bike and it just eats them up. The high end Fox suspension is superb and not even dialed it in yet. The ability to climb any slope and then go back down and do the jumps in a loop is game changing.
Ebikes will see rapid improvement over the next 5 years. Im not going to buy a £8000 bike when the tech is still so rough. You only have to talk to my mate who is on his 7th Brose motor to see how much of a lemon you can end up with. You do not get any extension of warranty either and he has been without his bike for weeks at a time as no stock of motors/parts and the bike shop isnt much help when he was stuck at the bottom of a mountain with no power and a 23kg bike to pedal back up. 3 times this has happened to him.
I like the YT brand. Its marketing is clever and its bike designs are slick with seriously good spec. They set the company up to sell a bike that gives you what you pay for rather than focusing on max profit penny pinching like Santa Cruz or Specialized.
Im glad they exist and will support them especially now the UK service center is coming.
