    Focus Jam ² - Nicest eMTB yet?

    Had a bit more use of out mine, still no boke distances but some good local cross country trail runs, 15 mile and 18 mile jaunts. The 15 mile I decided to prove a point and had the electric off until I went past my mates house, then engaged warp drive. Went out on Wednesday, did use eco and...

    If you hate ebikers and e bikes don't look at this .

    This only makes sense if it's deristricted - if you are going go to 15mph then you may as well do on the comfort of a mountain bike - unless I guess you consider it an unpowered bike until you get to a big hill Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

    Focus Jam ² - Nicest eMTB yet?

    Tec is not standard but instead a bolt on option- comes in a big add box with the battery and a joint to put a water bottle cage on, I'm sure the next comment will be to say they would prefer to choose a cage but at the price I was shocked that it did not come with a cage, just a cage mount -...

    Anybody had dealings with V12 finance?

    V12 like all credit lenders will be regulated by the FCA so they have to adhere to certain standards. A soft search saying unemployed will likely get you declined everywhere so you'll need to go through a full underwrite however I'd advise checking t's and c's first, some lenders simply won't...

    Focus Jam ² - Nicest eMTB yet?

    I actually like the grey but the shop ordered black due to availability and I just wanted a bike back in truth. The Di2 is good, hits gear each time with no messing, going to look in the settings to turn off the annoying bleep that tells you you are already in top/bottom gear and can go no...

    Water Bottle on Full Sus E-Bikes

    Options I can see (many already discussed) Handle bar cage - Evans sell these Seat post cage, they actually sit quite high up so are unlikely to bottom on a dropper post but with the dropper down you might find you get a bottle in the nut sack! You could try a cable tie mount but underneath...

    Water Bottle on Full Sus E-Bikes

    Get a camelback (or cheaper equivalent) - I find it easier on my MTB - Focus so it will take a bottle mount and on an unassisted racer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The cost of e-biking going up....

    It will be lost revenue, they are struggling to make it viable as is, they rely on most people using the uplift service, if you do it's the same price as a normal bike. Instead of picking on ebikes they should have just upped the non uplift ticket but this way they pander to the majority of non...

    Tubeless or not tubeless...that is the question...

    For me it's as simple as, if you have tubeless tyres and rims then why not?? Tubeless sealant is far better than then tubes so go tubeless if it's easy, carry a tube and away you go Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    xduro allmtn rc problem please help :)

    My Allmtn pro went a similar way but it had Nyon, a software update killed it and no one could roll it back but it could well be computer rather than physical breakage Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Focus Jam ² - Nicest eMTB yet?

    The original bike was a Haibike AllMtn pro, after a Nyon software update is ceased working, the shop and Raleigh could not get it working., months then ensured of no deliver after 3 separate collection appointments were cancelled when it failed again. When dates moved to May /June and a few...

    Focus Jam ² - Nicest eMTB yet?

    N.b. I appreciate that can look like sour grapes on a long delivery but they combined with £300 overcharge on the initial order (refunded) because they sold standard Nyon as a bolt on option, then the bike got damaged, handover was handing it to me through a half open door, picked the bike up...

    The true cost of an EMTB are they getting more or less expensive

    Ref recuperation, in regards to car vs bike, much more power can be recouped from a car I agree as it has more force that can (with loss) be converted to potential energy back on to the battery, but the bikes lower recoup available is relative to the power to get it going in the first place. The...

    The true cost of an EMTB are they getting more or less expensive

    The Haibike Allmtn has gone up to £6500 vs £5800 last year when I bought and returned mine, I've moved to focus for the pro plus Jam2 (some time this month hopefully), some of the price jump is component upgrades but some of it is the pound, you have to keep in mind our currency buys 20% less...

    Never mind Ascending, what about Descending ability

    Erm, just to throw a curve ball at you all In a vacuum a feather and a bowling ball will accelerate at the same speed, gravity does no have a higher impact on a heavier object. Now to clarify that, gravity has a bigger pull on the heavier object BUT, that extra pull is needed to accelerate the...

    Focus Jam ² - Nicest eMTB yet?

    Yes, the testers on some of the reviews do just that, ride it l, then bolt the secondary on, it connects to the charging slot so I guess it's a bit like riding it on the mains, it's getting a charge from the second pack, until that one goes flat of course. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
