What's bugger all? I've done the Oaks down and back, and got home with ~15% left. Over 50km, all on power 2/4 & max boost apart from the steepest climbs. 750Wh

They're still worth owning, but the limit sucks. I heard it's easily rectified, if illegal and warranty blowing. NZ has 32, & the US higher. On the flats I could maintain 25-30 on my acoustic mtb, it's really hard on the #eMTB because the motor cuts in and out, easy, shit this is heavy, easy, sh[repeats]

Anyone know any good eMTB bikes that aren't too expensive, but good quality? I think my son (cerebral palsy) has reached his limit, and needs some help to continue his cycling growth. I want something with decent parts, but I also don't want to pay $8k! Oh, and I also don't want it to catch fire.
Happy with hardtail, 120mm front travel. Thoughts?

Stupid tubes! Stupid patches!

Finally left the house, enjoying some singletrack & actually feeling human again.

Rear suddenly breaks loose. Flat tyre. 🤬 Luckily, I have the gear, & fit two glue free patches, reinf... Dammit! Fit two glue type patches, reinf... WTF? Re-glue failed patch, reinf... Swear loudly. Tear off patch and replace. Reinflate. Finally ride. Crankiness level dropping

On the plus side, the flowers have been outstanding. 😎

I thought weight limits were given as rider weight - nope! Not even for my #eMTB.

"The permissible total payload (rider plus luggage, and the empty weight of the EPAC) is 150kg" (EPAC = emtb)

My bottom spec Rocky Mountain Altitude PowerPlay A30 is closer to 25kg than 20-22. I think top spec is closer to 24kg. Official weights will be provided "when available" (aka heavy & we ain't saying). I could weigh up to 125kg kitted up.

In essence, ask your bike shop.

#Amflow, the company about to release a new #eMTB powered by a #DJI motor (yes the drone (and other things) people) has just released pricing. For a lightweight, full power, carbon eMTB the price looks very good against the opposition. AUD3k less than the normal price of the Specialized equivalent (noting limited sizes of run out versions are currently on sale for $8500).

Not a shill, but a lighter full power eMTB is very attractive. Around 4-6kg lighter than my current eMTB!

Is anyone expert of #eMTB ( #electric #mountain #bike ) ?

I was evaluating purchasing one, but... I see that most of them (note: I'm interested in Trail / All Mountain) have 120 Kg weight limit, including the weight of the bike 🤔

Since these bikes usually can weight 20-22 Kg, this means the person cannot weight more than 98 Kg (ehm.. I "may" exceed this by 7-8 Kg right now 🙄)

Does it mean no bike for me or is the limit in case of extreme usage like jumps etc.. ?

Thanks
