Sad isn't it. :D This is one bike that I'm really desperate to get a ride of. :) I'd did confess elsewhere that the motor suddenly made sense to me off road. I just hate the noise. I also started my time comparisons today (I should have been working) Over a set distance of 1 mile on a hill...

Now you are just teasing me. ;) Spill the beans, who has pre ordered? :) I still think that this is going to be the hottest/most desirable e-mtb released this year, and when it comes to the spec and RRP, there isn't a bike that is close to it. I'm dribbling already! I also need to arrange...

Bloody cheat! He has a distinct weight advantage there. :D I used to race against a guy in Super Sport that only had the use of one arm. I was always in awe of how he could launch a bike off the start line whilst controlling the clutch and throttle at the same time. The right hand handlebar had...

I should hopefully be getting hold of Giant Full-E+ 1 to play on very soon, but my understanding from the dealer who also happens to sell many other brands, is that the after market care that Giant offer, is possibly one of the best out there. The dealer had nothing to gain by telling me that...

Glad to see that it's all going well. I didn't want ask if you now had the bike. :) Interesting that you mention the battery. Even on the haibike, I cable tied the battery to the frame at last weekends MTB event. I can't see it ever falling out, but the tolerance is pretty crap from new, and I...

The Shimano system looks to be nice and compact, plus very light. What would be nice to see, is KTM offering a bike with an integrated battery pack.

Not the most flattering of photos. After the first climb, with no others anywhere in sight. Chain off and doing just a fraction over 28mph. The SRAM connector to three speed hub has also popped off. When I pulled the bike down yesterday afternoon, I was quite surprised that many of the rear...

Just checked the console after the mtb ride, and I think that there must be a glitch in the Matrix. :D

Yesterdays event was definitely more competitive, although thinking about that, it probably had more to do with the fact that I went out with the first two groups who like me, just wanted to get going without being held up by family outings. Obviously this plan went tits up when we all went the...

Using the term 'cheat' is certainly an interesting one. I'd love to know how you become a cheat when everyone is pushing their bikes up an exceptionally long and steep hill, whilst the e-bike rider (me) is struggling to cycle up it even under power, giving their all and reaching the top of the...

Certainly not as a main bike, but Id still love to own one of these as a sneak off and tear across my local forest bike. Beyond this, just paying someone to give me twice the battery range on the BH without changing it's appearance would be enough for me. I'm pretty fond of the bike now.

I can say without any hesitation that the BH won't struggle when it comes to hills. Mine puts up with a hell of a lot of abuse in relation to hill climbing, and I've yet to even notice the motor becoming warm. I'm sure that you should be able to get the price that you have quoted down further...

Sadly noisy enough to get people looking and commenting when you pass them. :(

After using the Bosch powered bike at the organised MTB event today, and receiving flak and adverse comments from just about everyone that I passed, I'm now firmly of the belief that mid drives are not the way to go in respect of entering orgainised mtb events. The BH with it's near on silent...

I didn't really get much chance to take photos, so here is the only one of the Haibike. And few official ones. This is the lad that I had a bit of down hill fun with. :) A few other photos from the day.

Oh dear not a good ride. :( I set out in the second group of riders to leave, but was quickly past everyone on the first 24 degree climb. and held this position out in front for about two miles, but was then overtaken, and this is where things went wrong. Someone had either moved the marker...

He must have either left the battery at home, or it had run out of charge. ;) .

Certainly going to be a bargain for someone.

If perhaps I was having a weekend away or going on holiday, then a folding MTB would appeal in respect of it taking up a relatively small space for transport, but the added weight and hassle of the full suspension doesn't appeal. I'm afraid that I don't even see the point of putting low quality...

Frankie, I am guessing that the only difference between the NEO Cross and the NEO Xtrem is the wheel size. I can only answer from my own experience of owning the Xtrem, that I have never had a spoke issue. I'm not kind with the usage of my bike, but I do keep a very strict schedule of...
