Hi All
Recently brought a 2nd hand Lapierre am800 with bosch cx.
It is a very capable 27.5 full suspension mtb with nice pike forks, I have upgraded front tyre to 3"
Despite being carbon it is very heavy.
The weight does make it stable on descents and quicker than my normal enduro bike (Trek remedy 9). It is no where near as playful as my XC bike a carbon Cannondale scalpel 29 which is very flick-able. Nor does it has much traction as my on-one fatty.
I have had the eMTB upgrade this week but have not ridden since.
I generally use ECO mode and ride on the shoulder of my younger riding colleagues.
When you actually use the motor to overcome steep obstacles it is unbelievable, instant grins.
Thanks
Jason
