As a commuter I've found a full face helmet a must.... Being side swiped was not fun, even at 30 k's an hour. If not for that helmet I'd have ended up with a broken jaw hitting the pavement....

Would be an interesting survey to see what percentage of EMBN audience actually has emtb. I would not be surprised if those that have it are actually well below 50% :) There's probably many people here who are interested in e-bikes but can't afford them at the moment. Thankfully after 2 years of waiting I'm getting mine soon! But anyway, that's all cycling/biking, we are one diverse family with the same root, I follow GCN and I'm not a road cyclist and don't even have road bike, and I watched Tour de France and Giro d'Italia since my childhood

Good stuff except for the reach adjustment by saddle forward / backward adjustment. Reach can be adjusted in many ways but the saddle is not one of them as incorrect saddle position can cause knee problems. Use stem length (within reason), bar width and stem spacers for reach feel.

I'm getting older (50). I am in the market for new bike ( canyon spectral cf8). Yet I've started watching and I'm now thinking ebike ! My only concerns are : they seem to be advancing week by week and would buying one now mean it would be out date in six months ? And my riding friends are on normal bikes. Um.
@gabriels11634 жыл бұрын
The ebike laws are so restrictive that there are barely any advancements being made that make a difference to the average rider. Buying last years model ebike is a great way to save a few thousand without a major difference in performance.

Haven't got a driving licence, medically handed it in, I was blacking out so ended up with a heart monitor. Not a pacemaker, just a monitor. Still I'd rather keep EVERYONE else safe. My local bike park is about 15 miles away, not the best, but better than anything I've ridden yet. I'll have to arrange a lift out there. Don't want to arrive knackered, and i don't fancy peddling home with no battery. 👍 Glad you're having fun, but be careful.
