How To Test An EMTB! | E-Bike Buying Guide

[@embn]

What do you look out for when testing an EMTB? Let us know down below!👇

[@barriobarranco]

Price....always an online gamble for me!

[@matthemason7918]

How do you measure yourself or get someone else to measure you, what are you measuring and how do you do it? Is it all plumb bobs and tape measures?

[@Ndc710]

The main thing I look at is…..is the bike I,m testing better then my bike?

[@kimobat]

travel, motor. 29" wheel

[@tomquimby8669]

it would be nice if you posted dates and locations of these festivals so we know about them in time to attend them

[@wgservice]

Totally agree. The further notice the better, as we could plan in a weeks holiday around it. Or arrange a bookable weekend event in UK for the manufacturers?

[@StuHNomadBiker]

I've just googled emtb festival 2022 ........ they're all on the first page or second.

[@kimobat]

I won't be able to make it to this fantastic event but your videos helped make the right choice of my first EMB thanks a lot mate

[@ceriway380]

Here in the UK the shop have such poor selection you can't even see the bike let alone demo them it great if you go to Europe but a lot of us can't very frustrating..

Love that Steve's talking about sizing on the Trek stand, Treks sizing is bonkers.

[@MikePalmer42]

Can’t help thinking that Steve need’s a huge pay rise really enjoy learning from his decades of knowledge

[@Ndc710]

Fab show Steve great content, please can we have more of this, absolutely loved it,.

[@embn]

Hey Dave, glad you enjoyed the content!

[@bradsanders6954]

I simply ordered a bike. I watched some EMBN videos, and then a new Canyon showed up here almost a year ago. Its worked great! I havent changed much on it, its just a matter of suspension set up, and putting my seat on it. I had never been on any E bike prior to getting this one.

[@didgineil]

Thanks Steve, so wise and great advice. Something that would be of interest to me, and advice. EMTBs for riders with mobility difficulties, another set of layers to consider while testing. The EMTB market has increased accessibility to this amazing sport for me, and many others. Creating opportunities that where previously unthinkable. Thank you for another awesome show, and invaluable information shared, a huge fan. Thanks Steve, and too the whole EMBN team 👍

Trail testing is the only way for a customer to get the full eMTB experience! Last year we relocated one of our retail locations in SoCal to be next to a trailhead and it's been a game changer for our customers. They're able to test multiple eMTBs back to back on single track before making a decision. It's a big upgrade from a test ride around the neighborhood or parking lot!

[@Cheapsh0t247]

Fully agree with this, my brother an I tried so many eBikes at the Malverns MTB Festival a few years ago, and it was such a good system of trying so many different types of eBikes one after the other, on the same track which we personally choose. We even tried fat bikes on the 4x track which was a right laugh.

[@guyd4067]

really relevant to Australia.

[@LeSoarien]

very positive and openminded attitude.👍 Definitively think market will be more and more diversified in terms of brands and components.

[@embn]

Well said!

[@rhysalbrecht1922]

I think there might be more eMTBs in this video than there is in stock in all of Australia right now.

[@d.j.ashley]

2:33 lol got eem

[@novadirector]

You can rent e-bikes at bike parks like swinley forest. I'm trying out the trek rail 2moro.

[@fathertime209]

when and where is this festival you're at? that looks like my dream vacation!!! 💕💕💕

[@ryanknipe2052]

Definitely the motor and electronics. I find that the different systems kick in the torque at different cadences. What's up with that? Is there a way to adjust power output to cadence level? Like on a Shimano EP8, for example?

[@chrisi2348]

Would be nice if you could review the kettler quadriga duo cx12 fs. 1250Wh battery capacity and a very capable fully sounds pretty good to me.

[@chickenclips]

That Shimano banner fall onto the bike was quite symbolic. The EP8 is a joke

[@matteyre8711]

Some great advice but what about us mere mortals in the UK that are looking for an EMTB that can’t necessarily have time away from work and family and can’t get to one of these festivals. How do we do this?

[@ninetendopesaitama2107]

A bit late. Isnt it? ☮️

[@brucemilmont6455]

Testing sounds great but not available where I am and size XL. The pivot shuttle SL intrigues me. What do you think of it?

[@trickyd499]

that's why i build my own e-bikes, half the price and double performance

[@josmith8205]

Thank you, Brilliant once again

[@raywalsh4028]

What festivals are based in UK & Ireland ?

[@fudganuld]

I would say use this advice when buying any,pricey, mtb.....Ha !!

[@utube091116]

XLnt!

[@paulhusky580bts]

My Brand not at that Festival also Bike ordered not out yet

[@embn]

Hey Paul, Which EMTB did you go for?

[@gregorykulinski2186]

I will take sub 34 lbs e bike any day. So I think the other majority of people.
