What advice would you give to someone who has just purchased an e-bike and is about to go riding for the first time? 👇

Number one, don't stop in the middle of the

8:34 was in a panic as was thinking a major MTB channel had forgot the obligatory wheel pop/manual, in every friggin video but now I can rest again that the MTB gods have shown that skill once more.

When you think about it, emtbs are a lot like firearms. Both are made for serious usage and capable of feats no analog bike or bows, respectively, could accomplish but at the same, they've got delicate parts and need constant upkeep.

Washing the bike after every ride??? I came yesterday home at 11 PM ? Wash the bike at that time?? And today I'll get out again and it'll be dirty again? It makes no sense. Just keep the important parts lubed and clean, and wash it few times a year. I do it usually before winter ;-)

The middle sized metro vac is perfect for drying. Have the 8hp one for the truck. And the small one for the computer. Highly recommended.

I often like to commit atrocities and ride flowy trails on my saddle. Does that mean I need to compensate for the weight shift towards the rear wheel?

[anthonytilbury]

I’ve had a Shimano powered bike on order for nearly a year now, it’s the ep8 with a large 720 battery, have just been told there’s a problem with casing cracking due to larger battery, can you shed any light on this as cannot see any info on it.

What if you are over the maximum weight that is shown on your suspension? Just put it on max and live with it?

[kerianhalcon]

I find noisy brakes keeps the bears away!

[Bianchiboy]

You missed the most important thing never to do to an E-bike…. Don’t charge it up with fizzy custard and avoid putting wet bread in the motor

[SimonBauer]

washing your bike after every ride erm...no i mean if it is too dirty ok but not after every. single. ride. i dont know anyone who does this

[rayglasscock]

Same advice over and over only differences
Is the motor rest of this that and other parts from bike to bike definitely the same you could put people off from buying E bike I never used to watch this channel or anything like it before getting focus jam ! Been cycling for over 60yrs I'm still learning /improving every ride. Don't need someone talking to me like I'm an idiot patronizing tones will definitely make people cycle away.

8:00 are we really advising people to spray wd40 on the motor if it gets dunked? to me it seems you would need to then be concerned about having ruined the grease that seals the inside from the outside.

[tedyshor]

Too much tech and effort to setup, that it takes all the fun out of riding. But off course when your bike costs as much as your car. :(

[RobertAmine]

too much, no one would bike if they follow your advices

[glennwozencroft]

have you run out of things to film on EMBN same old thing over and over your channel is becoming very repetative, such a shame
