    eMTB owners photo and ride thread.

    Pretty sure you have just put me off the South all together, that means Gloucestershire and below for me. I complain about the fly tipping and poachers but no Voodoo here. Do you have Deer on the downs as riding in the woods here at night is a no no in the autumn and winter.

    Chris if your battery ever goes flat Harley will pull you round, he looks like a coiled spring! You are lucky with the weather. Those are some narrow demanding trails good find, what a gentleman going first on the tricky bits, chivalry. Eddie you really do live in a different part of the...

    BH Emotion bike vs Volt pulse X

    Note to Cae, use any mode but 0 and you will really enjoy the ebike a lot more. 0% is like riding a normal bike but with a lot of extra crap on you don't need. 13% use over 16 miles is not what the bike was intended for, 30% + yes.

    BH Emotion bike vs Volt pulse X

    "not using any assistance" ? ??? ? I don't know what you are saying. Hire bikes must get the hard end of the cheese, but if you liked it powered then you are 99% of the way there. It depends what type of person you are and how much research/time wasting you want to do. There are posters...

    BH Emotion bike vs Volt pulse X

    eBikes are a lot of money and all of them are different. Try a model, if you like it, buy it. All the known brands have a good name apart from one that you are not interested in. So if you like it get the cash out and enjoy it. But do try before you buy.

    Challenged!

    Leigh will put the video up where some enormous young man on his mum's front basket shopper with a Sturmey Archer 3 speed left him standing, thought he would have learnt his lesson.

    That Labrador saved you, remember the last time you tried to race a horse on a bike.

    That is why I chose an eMTB, you get the freedom you had when you were a kid, I can't stick to the roads. Those are some good looking girls no wonder you are going back! Best bit about Cow and Sheep muck is when you have sped through it and lick your lips, not that that ever happens to me.

    The South Downs do look a lot like Mid Wales. Dwarf weather ravaged trees and Gorse bushes, wide open scrub grass land, old stone ruins and no-one there! Normally a lot of Sheep? There isn't much like Beachy head though.

    Is it worth trying hybrid tyres.

    It is just so appealing when I am riding by my usual haunts to turn off the road and go cross country. It has not got really wet here yet but the frost has knocked down the Fern, Mallow and Nettles so the woods are wide open for daytime riding. Would be lovely to do road and Forest and be...

    Is it worth trying hybrid tyres.

    My Hard Nine with Rapid Robs on, is great off road. My Hard Nine with Big Bens on, is great on the road. I thought Winter was just going to be a straight road only exercise, but stupidly I am still going off road and it is tricky on Big Bens. I am looking for road manners ( quiet, smooth...
