The time has finally come for me to get my very own electric mountain bike. Ibis has built one bear of a bike, this is the Oso. Check it out here ➡️ bit.ly/3DVthGD

The bike looks awesome. I’d like to see Ibis integrate the display/controller into the top tube the way specialized did. Busy cockpit and looks like it would be pretty easy to break in a crash.
@motivationmonster2 жыл бұрын
I agree that an integrated system is the way forward. The bracket for the kiox is brittle to say the least. It is also much longer than it needs to be. After mine broke I had to use x2 cable ties around the handlebars plus one threaded through the kiox's mount. It is much more secure now than the factory mount
@fifermr2 жыл бұрын
At this point in ebikes in my opinion if the display is not integrated that is a no go to me. Just seems cheap and they didn't want to spend the money. The price they want for this ebike and not integrating display, no thanks!
@Kulric Жыл бұрын
Bosch's continuing to have a locked ecosystem with clunky displays is really their main negative. Most other brand motors you can connect to Garmin and Wahoo. Unfortunately or fortunately, however you want to to look at it, their EMTB mode is just so darn good that you have to suffer the display.

"I think a class one e-bike should be allowed anywhere a regular mountain bike is allowed to go" I couldn't agree more. I love riding my Rail-7 but I don't ride any more or faster than I did my hard tail Litespeed 25 years ago. The problem we face is both ignorance and stubborn ideas of what mountain bike is and how people believe our sport and/or nature should only be enjoyed the way they do it.

I don't love riding e-Bikes, but it is nice to see DW on something other than a Shuttle. I might try to get a demo on one of these once demos start picking up again. Regarding fitness boosts from e-Bikes; I've demo'd a few of them. Most of them have pedal assist that requires some higher cadence for full boost. I had to maintain 75-90rpm to get the full boost when I rode my local loop. I did shave 14 minutes off my best time of 1hr3min, but there were still singlespeeders that had times faster then my ebike time. When I got done with the ride, my lungs were burning. No, they aren't the same as unassisted bikes, but the idea that they require little to no effort, (or are "motorcycles,") is idiotic.

E-bikes increase trail traffic with riders who are usually NEWer to riding. This overcrowds trails and increases trail damage (widening). The other big problem with E-bikes is the FIRE risk.

To lube the chain, stick an Allen wrench (4mm I think) into one of the front chainring mounting bolts and back the crank against it. This allows you to free wheel the chain backwards to lube the chain. Works great! Nice video! Love my Levo. It’s all I ride and everyday is a “good” day on the Levo even though I may not have ridden for a while or something hurts (I’m 55). I track my heart rate and im in the exertion zone, so I’m getting a good workout. I have so much fun riding it, it just doesn’t feel like a workout which is the best kind! Makes me want to ride more. Sure it’s not the same as a regular bike, but I’m not training for a race. I want fun and exercise and the ebike is the best of both to me. And I don’t have to load up a dirt bike and drive 5 hours to great trails. I have great trails right down the road from where I live.

Still a high end novelty and as it is a brand that is high end, the high price is there.

I am an all time ibis fan and have a mojo as well as Specialized S-Works M5 alu frame which weighs less than 9 kilos. ( Imagine having a 28 kilo ebike now!?! ) but I have to agree with you, it is way too expensive for most riders. Ibis probably know what they are doing nevertheless.

A tip for chain cleaning/lubing. Take a 6 to 8 inch length of double sided hook and loop (velcro tm) strip and pass it behind a chain ring spider arm then spin the crankarm around so that you can wrap the crankarm with the velcro thus locking the crankarm to the chainring spider and you will be able to spin the chain backwards.

5:05 In Norway you can ride them anywhere, unless landowner puts up a sign saying otherwise, which is unlikely. E bikes are of course excluded from ''motorized vehicles forbidden'' signs as they are considered a bicycle. but there are limitations to the speed and so on, but it's all sensible. But I think you can't ride it in certain areas only like some national parks, But I am not sure about the details, was few years since I read about it, Not sure if that included regular bikes too. but pretty mutch you can ride anywhere here. But motorcycles on the other hand have strict regulations, you cna't ride it off road in the nature, unless it's a specific track, some have their own tracks on their farm, but there are motorsports centres that have it, closest to me is Rudskogen, but I am not into that anyway.

Only issue was I kept getting dropped by EVERYONE and I hated that I would have to make them stop so I could catch up. The ebike let me enjoy rides with my family during the days we had to keep away from everyone. It helped me get into better shape (mentally and physically) and now I love tearing up the trails on my non e-mtb. I've gotten a lot fitter because of the ebike. Now it sits in my shed collecting dust 🤣🤣🤣....With pedal assist ebikes and adaptive mtbs, more people will be able to enjoy the sport we love where they would have been limited in days past.
