Soon to be owner of an Orbea Team E-bike, cant wait to try out this. Great video....

Didn't need to see that at 4:06! :D

Great video as a 50 yr old I just can’t resist doing small jumps on my Merida e160 just makes you feel like a kid again

What I get stuck on with jumping is the confidence to do anything over a certain height and length. It's the feeling you get in your mind, telling yourself "I've been in the air too long." 🙈😂

My E-bike is heavy AF and jumps i hit on it are pretty much just lift the front and hope for the best ;p

Set my bike up with mates shock wizard. Jumping suddenly got easier as bike so predictable at take off. Nothing to do with the company, just happy with the results of using the product.

[leightondavies]

What about the back shock ? Is it better to have a much slower rebound to prevent it launching ?

Just got a e-bike last week I tried a new 2 to 3 meter gap jump on it on a new track and landed hard on the front and managed to get away with it. told some people about it and they said that jump was a kicky. How do you deal with kicky jumps.

I REALLY want a spectral:on :( nice work pal

What happens if you brake/stop the back wheel from spinning while in the air, same goes for the front wheel?
Could this change the angel-dangle since the wheels “generate” weight while spinning?

New to jumping and when I do get in the air sometimes my feet come off the pedals 😳 it feels like the bike is dropping faster than me or I’m getting launched higher than the bike. Obviously I’m running flats. How do I avoid this?

[gargefps]

i have a hardtail e bike, so if i hit a big jump, does it break the bike?
