Great video Leonard, thank you. As someone who regularly mixes road and off road cycling my own experience is that I am more relaxed cycling off road and I enjoy stopping and taking in the nature all around me, just last night I stopped in the woods and watched a tree creeper for about 5 minutes whereas I would never have seen it on my road bike. My guess is that in the winter months when the roads are icy and slushy you won’t be on the turbo you’ll be out on the mtb. Thanks again.

Hi Leo, with MTBing keep your upper body supple and loose, it's a common issue for beginners to stiffen up shoulders and arms getting sore and tried in the process, also when the trail gets rough, take your bum off the seat and stand on your pedals level to the ground keeping your knees supple, well done on your first ride

eBikes are a game changer in so many ways. My partner just got one and we were able to take 30 minutes off a regular hilly 28km ride we do. I didn't have to keep stopping, in fact quite the opposite. I was getting dropped on all the hills 🙂

Glad you enjoyed your ride, you were 100% with the combat shorts 👍😂 Where you turned off road at 6.20 in, if you turn right there into Hinton manor lane, about 100 metres up is a bridleway that leads all the way to denmead off-road almost all the way, it's a stunning lane you could add to that circuit for next time, as for finding trails to ride I use the cycle streets app, it shows all the bridleways and is completely free, it's considerably better than Google maps for trail finding, have fun out there and hopefully I'll see you on the trails

the good thing about ebikes is that you can ride a lot further so you still get the same amount of exercise. My wife has an ebike Pedal assist for our off road cycleways and I calculated that she is getting 78% of the exercise that she would riding a standard bike. Padded kit under your cargo shorts is the go. Unlock the fork for the bumpy stuff and lock it for the hill climbs. Her bike weights 23Kgs so if no battery she knows about it

Not sure if that is an air shock, but you should adjust the pressure based on your weight. There may be something on it that you can turn to stiffen it up a bit. Generally the gear on those bikes are not great for proper mtb, but for gravel and canal paths just fine. If that is the terrain you will be on , and tarmac, consider swapping the knobblies for more of a commuter trail tyre and your rolling resistance will be considerably less..... look at Schwalbe Marathon plus or similar.... very good puncture resistance etc!

Leonard having done your first ride on the bike, do you prefer a carbon road bike or a mountain bike albeit an e bike? Did the extra weight make a big difference. Think I will stay with a road bike unless you can convince me otherwise. The battery performance is slightly worrying though. Looking forward to your next cycle. Thanks

If it later turns out to be a pile of rubbish, I’ll say in a future vlog. As for being too heavy, I was looking at the Haibike E-MTB and that is 23.5kg. I suspect it’s more of a commuter bike rather than a out and out off road bike but it performed perfectly well on the easy little trails that I rode on.

Tourney drivetrain and basic front suspension makes it more of a mountain bike style bike rather than mountain bike but I'm no bike snob it looks like a fun bike but not really meant for real off-road use just gravel/canal paths and roads really which is fine. Price seems to be £899 so firmly in the budget class so in fairness you cannot expect decent off-road components for that price.

As far as ebikes go your just barely getting into the fun, for me it’s about getting up in the rocky hills and a mid drive ebike motor provides more balance for this. The ebike they have provided is best suited for commuting with some light rides on the weekend. I’d love to see you test ride a specialized levo or another high end ebike. They’re a different class, also it’s not all that legal on anywhere but your own property without a motorcycle licence and a motorcycle helmet but derestricting it adds loads more fun.

On my ebike I notice that the battery drops under strain, eg going up a hill or full assist at max speed for a period. When riding on the flat it then 'recovers'. I think this is probably an electronic artefact of the way power is drawn from the battery and that the low reading is overly pessimistic. I don't believe there is any recharge from braking or downhill. I usually get 60 to 80 km out of a 48v battery with similar bafang rear hub drive and weight bike on rolling territory with moderate assist. I'll get at least 40 kms at full whack doing 40kmh all the way with a 200m climb at the end

with the south downs nearby....plenty of off roading to be done there....south downs way? one or two days....solid off road....worth a go....or get yourself a good map to define some great routes...doesnt your karoo do off roading routes? just shove the bike in or on the car, drive up to the south downs and do lots of off roading instead of time on the road to get there.....
