Just thought I would pop by and see what’s going on here. Hope everyone is well? Not been using my e-bike at all so may offload it.
I do have a new to me bike
It’s a Bird AM160 with a mullet conversion. Been enjoying trying to learn to mountain bike. Difficult for an old dog to learn new tricks but spent a fair amount of time in the Quantocks and South Wales scaring myself. I’ve retired on health grounds so have plenty of play time.
Also using my analogue hybrid bike a fair amount, starting to get a bit fitter.
I understand that non E mtbs are simply not selling in the mid to upper price bracket. Nobody wants to struggle up steep hills on a mtb these days. Personally I’m after the exercise.
I may at some point get another e bike but not an e mtb. Something like a Ribble Hybrid AL e might work but as I have no income and too young to draw any pension I may have to wait. Also, I understand the battery is a bit of a weak link and expensive to replace…
I may sell my current e-bike depending on what I can sell it for. I’m finding I no longer need it for shopping / pub runs as I can easily get up my hill under my own steam without feeling like I’m going to have a heart attack.
