this beauty landed today, as a loan bike till mine lands in the country.
carpark test ride was awesome................ 😆
Looks ace Ton.
Where did you find that?
😯
Nice.
Do you have to make your own bwaaaarp-bwaaaarp noises?
😉
Funny looking black water bottles 😕
Looks like fun!!
Rachel
flash.......yes, i swear in speed setting it is like taking off on a yammy fs1e 😆
got it from
www.justebikes.co.uk
ahh thats what it looks like.
Looks spot on buddy, is that going to the uplift day 😉
now you will be waiting for folk at the top of the hill
What's the weight?
Nice! What's the weight like?
says 20.3kg on website
that looks well good!
Website says it's 20kg. It looks like it would have been a 11-12kg bike without beefing up the front triangle and electrifying it. I have ridden heavier (DH) bikes....
1st thing i did when it arrived was pick it up.
compared to the 50lb kalkhoff i sold to buy this, it is like a featherweight.
because the battery and motor is in the main triangle the evtra weight dont seem noticable.
also a 'just under 20stone rider' dont need a light bike..... 😀
Why?
why what?
looks good, enjoy
i don't get it either...at all, why not buy an mx bike..?
Why an ebike for offroad? I've quite enjoyed tooling about on them about town but hadn't realised that there was a market for what looks like quite a serious e-driven mtb.
Enjoy.
Won't the extension lead limit the distances you can do?*

* Unles you go round in circles of course...
beanieripper and mtbfix.......i have a heart problem.
this bike will enable me to keep riding.
I saw one of those at Glentress a while back, mistook it for a Zesty at first. Didn't get a chance to talk to the rider though, I think they took a different route down.
Fair enough. If the take off is anything like those I have ridden it would have the capacity to get you into all sorts of trouble with a misplaced pedal stroke!
Looks top that ton kida!
Wow indeed!
Like! Enjoy it big man...
Great !
(though you may have to change your name to t[b]R[/b]on) 😉
that's flippin ace! good effort to track that down Ton, hope it gets you back out in the hills where you seem to be happiest.
xx
Did I Say I like it..
I like it a lot!
Nice piece of kit. I'll raise a glass to the two of you finding offroad happiness together 🙂
My mate was to chatting to a bloke in Esholt Woods on something simlilar. Was that you on your old one?
Have you guys seen this? 40mph 35lb mini MX bike for being naughty on here I come! Muohahahah. Shame it's illegal to commute to work on one 😈

Niiiice! 🙂
Thats wkd, a great way to get out and about, good luck and i hope you have lots of fun on it.
Had my first ride on an electric bike last weekend.
It was just a little ride around a test track but it was awesome fun. The acceleration of the thing was v unexpected & could easily see how you could reach some serious top speeds. Felt a wee bit unnatural at first - almost like I was on a motorbike 🙂
i don't like it, but i hope you do, ton.... 🙂
i will say that the wheels look a bit spindly and a QR fork seems a little out of date, esp. considering the weight of the bike plus the (cough) rider. but then going by ton's previous form he might have something knocking about in the garage.
could easily see how you could reach some serious top speeds
it's not so much about top speed, more about getting up the hill.
How does an ebike fit in the scheme of things that are allowed on bridle ways and the like?
You needs to [b]pimp[/b] that ride dude!

Then we're blastin' off baby!! [b]BOOOOOOOM!!!![/b]
I bet that'll be great fun. I'm quietly envious.
took it the Lee Quarry this afternoon when i had finished delivering.
for the 1st time ever, i rode from the carpark, all the way up, all the way round the red route and all the way back up to the pump track area.
my motor has made me a riding god!!!............ 😆
WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Nice one big fella 😀
That does look very very cool!
Nice one mate. I thought it was a gearbox Lappiere!
Nice one Ton, I take it this means you have had the green light to ride again, if so, double great news......
good news that you're back on a bike ton - godhood a bonus 🙂
Hmmm.....(strokes imaginary beard & thinks of the NYM)
Nice one ton! 😆
I'd like a shot of that 😯
what's the top speed on elec?, and smallest size they do?
the motor cuts out at 15mph. but in the highest setting it feels like it gets you there instantly.
smallest is a 40cm, then 4cm increments.
That is actually remarkably cool. Am pretty impressed. Any of us likely at some point to struggle to keep going at this silly MTB lark due to health or age. Knowing there is something like that waiting in the wings is great. Have fun safe in the knowledge we all secretly want a go...
Great news, Ton. Proof (if it were needed) that any / all cycling is good. Happy trails, and may the wind be at your back. Ah, now thinking about it, it doesn't matter which way it's blowing does it! 🙂
dude, didn't realise that was the case...hats off to you for finding a solution that means you can still enjoy what you love rather than stop doing it...happy trails..
I can see that getting you places in a hurry. If I see you coming downhill I'm moving aside all that momentum could be overly exciting.
Can I borrow it for the SingleTrack Weekender???? 😀
