I’ve found using my power mode more than shifting makes climbing multi pitch climbs more efecient with less chance of mechanical failures.

Thanks again for sharing your hard work and excellent warning

I have experienced many compromised (difficult and ending poorly) situations on my EBike when going to slow, losing control on rooty and off camber stretches, I believe it is the weight, and centre of balance, don't slow down stop in the wrong place, the heavier bike is harder to correct.

Flat pedals seem to work much more in tune with my Husqvarna than being clipped in. I’m loving the hell out of it so much fun love the climbing aspect and incredible descending . Oh yes and the KOMs. 🎉

There is quite a difference between regular bikes and eMTBs and, it takes awhile to learn the differences especially, the maintenance aspect. I have to take my bike to bits on a regular basis

Something that took me a while to get used to was hitting the assist limit on jump lines. Always seems to happen at the wrong time and ile be in way to hard a gear and feel like ive dropped an anchor. So had to get used to riding in a lighter gear so when the assist turns off i can still pedal

[BazippysVideos]

Got an early ebike, none of the app stuff :(. Still love it though!

[TheWebstaff]

What's the plan to replace him as I only sub here to watch Chris's videos.

[Ponyo]

How many more videos with Chris do we have the enjoyment to experience?

you need to keep your real bike to keep the knees and legs working
