Nice one! Enjoyed the report. Was hoping to get there myself, but just too much going on. Don't know if I can make either of the FoD events, but will certainly be at Llandegla again. Mark

I haven't entered yet, but it's in the diary! Mark

Have sent an email to Orange offering to be a "real world" Beta tester for them. Not had a reply yet, but it can't be long........ Mark

Do like Orange bikes (I have 3 already!) If this goes into production it could just tempt me to switch. The "underslung" battery idea has already proved to me to be a non-issue, and without using that would Orange have to change their suspension design? Mark

Welcome! Mark

Some interesting points raised, and not wanting to sound too defensive of my choice of bike, here are some of my findings: I never thought of needing to take a spare battery with me, therefore the idea of mid ride battery changes never entered my head, therefore the problem of having to undo the...

Hi Richard, Bit of a piece of string question, but I'll give you what info I have. My battery says I have charged it 18 times and done 892 km, so that's nearly 50 km per charge. Bear in mind that I haven't always been into the red, so there is probably a bit more to go. I spend most of my time...

I have a Levo, and I had issues with the chain coming off, until I adjusted the chain guide. Turns out there are different shims to pack it out, which explains the funny piece of metal in the bag I got when I bought it! Not had the problem since. Not sure if the "problems" with the Brose motor...

Just for information, I have a Levo, and don't want/need it derisricting. Mark

I'm consistently the last of our group uphill, can hold my own on the flat, and usually first downhill. The Levo allows me to stay with the group uphill. :D My girlfriend rides it while I ride a normal bike and she can keep up with me. I also subscribe to Highside43's view that any form of...

Highside, how many of you were there? A mate of mine was at Llandegla and was surprised to see a large group of e-bikes riding together. Mark

Went out for a ride last night on a track I don't normally use, and it brought this thread to mind. The track in question is a forest fire road, starts flat and then rises up. As I was on my own and keen to get to the downhill part of the forest to see how wet it was, I was in the middle...

Hoping to get some two wheel time during the fortnight we're off. Have a trail ride on the KTM planned, a Penmachno ride (paddle), a Llandegla day and if the weather isn't icy the GS might get used for more than commuting! Knowing my luck this year very little of it will come off. Mark

Scott compression vest for me. Elbow and shoulder pads only, not the thickest, but definitely better than nothing! POC mk2 knee pads, comfiest pair I could find. Mark

Not exactly e-bike experience here, but one of our regular Thursday riders stuck firmly to his "I don't need rear suspension!" mantra for years, with his old school XC bike. He blamed his many crashes on everything except the bike. One week, there was only he and I going out, but his rear wheel...

Hi Colin, Sorry, that sounds as though one of your two devices isn't talking to the other! You do have Bluetooth enabled on your phone Im assuming? If you cant get the app to work, at least you can still use the bike. The normal defaults are Eco = 25%, Trail = 50% and Turbo = 100%. In Eco you...

If it wasn't for bad luck........ You found here then Adam? :) Mark

Hi Colin, just checking, your bike is switched on when you try the app? I can't remember having any problems with mine, it worked straight away and has continued to do so. The set up was very easy, it must be, I managed it! Try deleting the app and re-downloading it? Mark

Hi Nick, Had mine for a few months now, really pleased with it. Dropped the "Eco" assistance level down to 15%, left the other two as they were. Pedal response I moved to halfway between "normal" and "race", everything else set to default. 15% is enough for me to keep up with fitter mates...

Hi Cyberil, I run 18psi front and rear. I'm not happy any lower, maybe that's just me. Changed the front for a 2.8 Maxxis Rekon, as it was supposed to be a more aggressive tyre. The jury is still out on that one. Have heard about the hack, but don't feel the need to try it out (Have a KTM for...
