I still havent been on 1 , people keep telling me to have a go but i know if i get on it, ill have to buy 1 myself. Currently, upgrading the full suspension with hope brakes. They dont half stop. Thank god.

Glad this thread got resurrected. I'm looking for an ebike; I wasn't into them and then as luck would have it I spent a day demo'ing then and my word they change things. So much more good riding with them. Probably wouldn't use them for xc but certainly running laps on dh trails |

I had to get rid of my Haynes which despite hours of work to get rid of air still always felt spongy and the levers came back to the bar grip (it’s the lever piston seals - terrible design). As a bigger guy who likes to go fast downhill this was causing concern. Had some Hope floating discs laying around in the parts box and switched to Hope V4s. Solid 🫡 |

As long as e-bike are the legit kind that assist pedalling. I noticed some pretty hefty price drops over summer and could have picked up a fairly decent one for same money I spent on my FS last summer.
Seen far too many over summer which are basically electric motorbikes/mopeds. Going whilst not pedalling even uphill.
Pisses me off as generally people riding those in roads are normally not wearing helmets either, again if it was a petrol motor they would legally need to. |

I'm very tempted to get an ebike, I'm at the age where a long ride on a normal bike is becoming a struggle rather than an enjoyment. I've recently joined a Facebook group for cycling on canal towpaths and old railway lines and it's whetted my appetite. |

Yeah fuck those guys, if you are passing a biker actually pedalling up a hill, just say nothing and fuck off quick |

I'll nod a hello if they look my way. Can't fuck off that quickly since I'm usually towing my teenager up with me lol |
