Just had the E-MTB upgrade done Its a more natural feel. It switches between Tour, Sport & Turbo depending how much pressure you put on pedals. E-MTB mode doesn't give you that abruptness. You still have normal Eco, Tour & Turbo if you need them

I'm a member of my local MTB group and ride regularly with them. Being the only E-MTB member I learnt very early on to ride at the back. Uphill where I could easily leave them for dead. I ride behind the Slowest riders Or with them. The ride leaders know that the bikes motor cuts out at 15.5mph...

There's this YT vid that explains the difference. Also avoid go for the 11 speed cassette. Avoid the 10 speed like the plague

Don't forget the E-Bike started 90secs behind :rolleyes:

Hi all, a simple question. Is it worth spending the money to upgrade from the Intuvia to the Nyon. It would be used mainly for the sat nav. How do the maps for the UK compare to using a Galaxy S7 with ViewRanger and the OS 1:25 maps. Cheers

Cheers Looking at the specs for the Hard 7, It still weighs 21kg. Mind you there's a bike difference in price. The Scott E-Spark 2016 cost £3500 :-)

Which haibike did you get, Because the Yamaha battery looks bigger than the Bosch, and the weight of the haibike is stated around 22.5kg. That compared to my Scott E-Spark 710 at 19.6kg nullifies the extra 5Nm of torque. Mind you the Scott Spark 710 without the motor is rated as one of the best...

It says in the Bosch Manual The operating range depends on many factors, such as the following: – Assistance level, Gear-switching behaviour, Bicycle tires and tire pressure, Age and condition of the battery pack, Route profile (inclines) and road or path conditions (road or path surface)...

Thanks for your comments, With the 2016 Bosch CX Performance Line Motor. You can ride in your comfort zone or tire yourself out depending the amount assist you need. It only gives back what you put in. Pedal soft it reacts back soft giving full control over technical terrain. A great vid...

Thanks all for the info. Is cutting the motor some kind of protection? My battery is an 11.6v and the controller is 16amp. What it sounds like is, the motor is good for the roads & smooth trails, but when it come to the rougher stuff its found wanting. I will use the 8fun for that purpose. Can...

After all the good reviews I've just moved from a 250w 8fun hub drive MTB to a 8fun 250w mid drive. I'm not sure if I have a duff one. How are you suppose to ride these things. With the hub drive it was simple. go up hill motor struggles add more assist or take it up a cog. Press hard into...

Thanks for the advice. As I will be using it mostly off road I was looking at getting a 42t ring. I know top end speed will be sacrificed. Will there be more bottom end torque ? Cheers

The gearing is a 1 x 8. Even using the rear big cog it still judders. Again the more assist the worse the juddering. Using just the thumb throttle to move off, there is no judder at all. Also there's no judder using the pedal assist. Could it be the crank sensor, what ever that is? Also what...

Hi all. My first post. I have a 8fun 250w 36v mid drive on my MTB. When moving off it's started to judder until I get the crank turning. Once moving it seems ok, The more assist I have to set off the worse the juddering. Also noticed the watt meter jumps between showing power then zero power...
