New ebike company in the UK......
A nice video with good FPS, but I got this in the middle of it, it's only my problem or others saw it too? Lastest frames was recorded with drone I suppose?

Charging Ebike battery using an inverter from camper van battery
I have to idle my RV when charging my bikes, or I have the same problem. If you have a 100 Ah 12V RV battery, that's ~1200 Wh. Your e-bike battery holds ~700 Wh. So, it makes sense that, with losses, charging up the bike can almost completely kill the RV battery. Even with more efficient gear, you will get closer to ideal, but the best case you still drain most of the RV battery. I use an 8 Amp charger, on an inverter of course, so I minimize the time required. But I still need to idle a couple of hours for a full charge. Some gas wasted, but quiet, at least. The main alternative to that, and a more efficient one but not worth it to me, would be to use a truck generator. But, we do need to make the power somehow. For you, if you don't want to run/drive the RV to charge, a small generator for charging would probably do it faster and has other benefits. I'd probably do that if I were you. If you were to spend $900 for more battery, would that be better spent on more e-bike batteries, not another RV battery? Probably enough for weekend trips. But if you need more than a couple of days riding energy, that's not a solution.

ebike battery back packs
I would order one in a hot minute! I love the idea of carrying my extra power in my pack, but the present packs are like carrying a brick! A more form fitting design would be great! IMHO

Looking for a new bike
Check out a Ibex Atlas, sweet single pivot that loves to AM all day. My other bike is a Versus Bblitz II & the Atlas can ride the same trails, not as fast, but very well for 5". https://www.ibexbikes.com/Stacks/Series_Atlas.html

Saddle sore
I've just ordered the Fabric Scoop Shallow Pro. Was on a Toupe for a long time. Recently been on a Selle Italia Kit Carbonio Flow but at 132mm I think it finally contributed to some leg pain issues even though its been comfier. A couple of weeks back I test rode a Revolt for a few hours. Saddle on that was the Contact Neutral/Standard? which didn't feel like it was there. So I've been all on fairly flat saddles so far, however, I'm changing as I'm doing more climbing now and have found these almost-flat saddles could do with a little rearward uplift for support when climbing. The Romin has that also from looking at a side pic. Chose the Shallow Pro as I read a couple of reviews (check it here) mentioning it has a little more flex than the next model up. Hope it will be good for all-day rides.
