Agree with most everything you say Chris, but the water issue really should be sorted by now with the price of these bikes being what it is.

[benjaminoppong-twumasi]

Good product and appears well made. Easy to use.

The first summer I had my Canyon found me taking the wrong path and into a part of the SW Coastal Path definitely not suited, unless you're a trials rider. Amazing views and some very sympathetic walkers, and a fair amount of sitting atop large boulders figuring out the best way down/up. Lovely day mostly though...

Thanks for the reminder to turn bike off lifting over a fence.

Good video Chris. Having just had to get my Cube Stereo Hybrid fitted with a new motor, I can second the water one.

I can understand what you're saying about no deeper than your BB, but I don't think I waded very deep, certainly not that deep. What about secondary water damage like splashes through shallower water, or from being on the back of your car through heavy rain for long periods? Be interested to hear your opinion

Would love to see EMTB review the Tannus Armour Tire Inserts

!00% agree with all that you have said in the video, great advice.

I have past many roadies going 30+ mph on my Levo. Always a good time

[paulhibbs]

I ride a Turbo Levo and want to carry a spare battery, before I make that expensive purchase how do I best carry one? Cheers

[bradsanders]

Another thing with boost mode, if you are going flat out in boost pedaling as hard as you can?
And you do a pedal strike on a rock, you can be thrown SO far over the strikes are different on E bikes.

I've got a long big hill near where I live, with a left turn into the woods, it's great to over take roadies on they can't follow you, 🤘

When will an ebike battery explode/catch fire with regards to water?

[thelocalangler]

i am about to purchase my first e bike and was planning on just turning the motor on when i come to a very steep hill or climb. my thinking was i can still ride most terrain but is it harmful to the motor riding it in the off position? for me the assist would be used only when i needed it and not all the time. does it cause excessive wear on the motor or drive train?

[petesmitt]

One thing I avoid is showing off with stupid stunt riding..

[horndawg]

I thought that Husqvarna ebike would have a walk mode?
And sounds like we just need Turbo +

[Mike-qlsz]

Instead of "Hike a bike" can't u use "Pedal/Walk Assist"? Thx

[porroco]

I rather have a yamaha EF2000 inverter at the other end to come back, prob it will take 2/3hours fully charge it

[benchasinghorizons]

Bugger the first one, every time a roady tells me im cheating. I go one handed and push the motor too 500w and blast bast them at 28mph.
