I bought mine 3 months ago , it failed to start 4 times at home , it started each time by connecting the charger for 2 minutes . today it just quit on the trail with 3 bars . charger enabled it to start again - I don't trust it and doubt Norco or Jenson will correct this from my previous dealings . Super fun bike
I also have this exact bike in XL, with 900watt, Turbo everywhere but downhill (i prefer Trail Mode max out, which is more precise for techish northshore) 2.5ish hour and i can drain the battery if i don't stop at all. At 200lbs, i get about 2000m vertical gain in Turbo.
Great vid Adam - you're coming across super relaxed and authentic, which for me translates to an enjoyable vid to watch. Thanks for your efforts. Keep shredding! Ask @JayMaron to do a test on his Ventanna Mystery Man!
Nice review. I should have my A1 range arrive soon. I’m 6’1 too and went for XL and on paper it seems very intimidating geometry numbers, especially the chainstay length, but in theory that long chainstay should provide incredible front end grip, particularly with such a slack head tube angle. I feel like I’m taking a bit of a gamble with this bike. Hopefully it pays off.
Nice one 👍 that's a pretty cool thing you identified with easy uphill starts due to extra chainstay length. I think it's something that consumers will eventually prefer once the marketing of "short chainstay =good" fades away...kinda like 29 inch wheels 😜 Maybe it's just a tall rider thing.
Cool vid mate, there are not many out there for this bike. I tend to change bikes every 12-18 months and I always "thought" I wanted a playful poppy bike but I was pretty slow on the uptake that I actually prefer the less trendy planted stable bike feel. Stable=Confidence=Faster. Please tell me that 28kg is an XL. Looking at the other videos you have uploaded and the price you mention is your favourite bike the Kenevo? What does it have over the Range VLT? Cheers.
@@AdamNicholsonMTNDVL I’m in California and I purchased the bike from the Phat bike shop, all I know is that they don’t have frames,, a week after I purchase the bike I start having problems with the headset it got loose very easy so the dealer told me that the frame was defective and they contact Norco but they never solve this issue and now the chain stay broke terrible customer service

I had similar issue, found the wire from the display that goes into frame was getting pulled into the frame and then pulled tight at the display plug while steering, I taped the small wire to the gear shift cable solved for me

I’ve got the exact bike. Love it. I agree it is under braked. It’s amazing. Get the 900 watt I’ve drained it on a 2hr ride.
It’s such a rad bike! Appreciate ya watching mate 🤟🏻

Always ahead of your time, I should listen to you more often but probably won't 🤣😂🤣
Hey Adam, I just bought a 2022 Range VLT in XL. I am 6 1" also and wonder why you went for the L over the XL or was that all was available for demo
Great overview and review
Great review mate

Thanks mate, appreciate ya saying so 🤘🏻
The 28kg is the weight of the large I'm riding.
SWORKS Kenevo SL is still my all time favourite E-Bike
good video ⚡
Cheers mate, appreciate ya 🤟🏻
what is your favorite emtb?
Hey Adam you should make a video on worlds
What would you like to see? POV or something different?
@@AdamNicholsonMTNDVL pov please
Recommend L or Xl 185cm 82kg thx
Large for sure mate! She’s a big rig 🤘🏻appreciate ya watching
I have seen elsewhere weight of around 25kg with the 900wh? Did you have a carbon or alloy frame?
Alloy, the guys at Norco Australia have said that the carbon is lighter but didn't have weights available, appreciate ya watching mate 🤘🏻
@@AdamNicholsonMTNDVL That's great. I have been waiting for someone to ride alloy, feels like everyone reviews carbon.
Norco has one of the worst warranties,, I broke my frame on my 2020 range and after a month still no answer from them!
Who’s the Retail store you’re using for warranty?
Did you buy the bike new?
@@AdamNicholsonMTNDVL does it matters? Only thing they said is that Norco doesn’t have frames, 🤦🏻♂️
@@mlaplas9098 it matters if you want me to try and help
