I know which is of more use. That looked to be a superb ride.☺ Here for two weeks, but riding is going to be hit and miss. Hiking with family in the day time, so it will be a case of either early morning or evening rides. Hiking felt tough today, after that climb. I didn't exactly take the...

All this talk of what can or cannot climb, and which is best. Thee proof is actually getting on a bike and doing it.☺ First gentle climb of the holiday. 7.6 miles and 5,150ft of elevation gain. One mile ridden very reluctantly in sport mode, the rest in tour. Two bars of battery level left...

Somehow I had managed to miss this post amongst the others, but after having read it, it did make me smile for all the right reasons. :) Sadly no longer with us, but not through/because of health related reasons, the following guy was very inspirational. Svengailie or "The One Lung Warrior"...

All pretty much the same weight and size. As said, it was nothing scientific, just a bit of fun when were out on a ride one day. :)

Five of us carried out a very non scientific test a couple of years ago in respect of which rolled fastest down a hill, 26", 27.5" and 29" One lad was on a 26" bike, two on 27.5 and two on 29" The road that we choose was about one mile long, and just a gradual slope. No pedaling was carried out...

If this were me, I'd take the Woosh over the Greenage any day of the week. It isn't that the Greenage won't suit or meet your requirements, it is just that I feel that over time, you could well regret not having spent that extra £300.00 for the very reasons that Woosh has stated. There is also...

Not sure why I am being dragged into this?:( That is now two comments within the same thread that mentioned my name in relation to racing. In respect of the CX motor, it wouldn't be and isn't my preferred choice in respect of the mountain/hill climbing that I enjoy tackling so much. I'd sooner...

You are a very lucky person. :) It has always amazed me just how quickly that the weather can change up there. I was kind of caught out one night last year, when I ventured up the Männlichen on the bike. Fortunately I had the sense to turn back, so all was good. Nothing beats the feeling of...

So sorry to derail your topic even further Rupert, but in answer to your comment Chris, the first time that I arrived in Lauterbrunnen it was dark. Waking up the next morning to bright sunshine, I was equally blown away by the enormity and beauty of everything. quickly in respect of riding...

I could do with regen when riding this route. To date I have ridden it three times, and just about made it to the peak of the final climb using just one battery with zero left in reserve. Wearing brakes out on what is almost an 8 mile decent on the other side, goes against the grain.

Please continue Rupert, it is really enjoyable seeing your ride details, and I apologise if I have offended you. If more people do as you have, it would broaden the forum and give far greater insight into real world performance. :) You just need to post a few shots of the mountains to make it...

The ride is shown below, but I have no idea if the moving time takes into account a couple of photo stops. As a guesstimate of the battery, there was about 15-20% left. No more than that though, and my 'estimate' is based solely upon looking that the battery bars remaining, which was two out of...

Sounds good Chris. :) Putting perspective of performance to this, I have managed to find a couple of short climbs that are close in distance to that of the climb by the OP. Ruper1, that was a very creditable climb by both your self and the bike. keep it up. :) And one example showing...

I'd go as far as to say that the range isn't that great, given that the elevation gain was just 2,575ft. .

No idea, but it is nothing that a bit of black paint couldn't cure. You live in the wrong city to have handlebars that colour fitted to bike. :eek: .

You risked going to Hailsham after dark!!!!! :eek: Surely the endless stream of police helicopters hovering above the town, along with the burning cars, should have made you think twice before heading in that direction. I just hope that your vaccinations are up to date. :(

For me, that is where the eMTB really scores. I'm trying to use the pedal mtb as much as possible, and would have normally used that for a Monday evening ride, but given the heat and how knackered that I was feeling from working outside all day in it, taking the eMTB out for a ride made perfect...

I have work in the morning as well. My wife is always glad to get shot of me, so that is an easy one for me to get around.

And what a superb night that it was riding. The temperature was perfect, the ground conditions were spot on, if not a little dusty, and all in a good ride. I even came across another lad on an mtb that had the same idea. I feel the same coming on tonight as well. :)
