So very tempted with the yet to be released S170.E

Did anyone here order one?

 

Anyone here own either the S or A170?

Weeksy’s son has an Atherton but you have to visit a motorbike forum for that!

No. Though if I were after a big e-bike then the S170e could be the one I’d get. I saw an S170 at bespoked the other year and it looked very nice indeed. 

I do have an A150. It’s great. Went for a test ride at Dyfi. Didn’t bother to test the other bikes on my list afterwards. Just had to decide between ordering what I’d tested, an A150.2, or going all-in and ordering an A150.1. I went with what I’d tried in a size 9. 
go for it!

I have an S170.  Great bike and it's very capable.  Climbs surprisingly well for such a beefy bike.  Descends as you'd expect, very stable and planted.  Looks good too imho.  If the ebike rides as well, it should be a great bike.  Don't think there's any proper photos of it out yet, so be interested to see what it looks like.  Also it was a great purchasing experience, lovely folk at the factory.  If you can do a demo day at Dyfi I'd do so.  Horatio the demo guy is a great chap.  I also liked that I've bought a bike built in Wales.

I've got an A170 - first bike I've owned in 30+ years that I'm completely happy with.

I wouldn't think twice about ordering the S170.e if I was in the market for an e-bike. In fact the only reason I've not is because I have the A170 already.

This is all good to hear!

I own a 2020 whyte e180 that I don't think is a particularly nice looking bike, but when I rode it thought was amazing, so not overly fussed on the ebikes looks 

I assume the e will ride similar to the analogue S170 so a demo ride in dyfi would be a good shout.

Is it just in the bike park?

Yes, mine was just at Dyfi.  I don't think they let you take them outside of Dyfi.
