As usual some great news and information. And thanks for the chance to win a new helmet, last week was new bike day and now a new helmet day was the top to combine with the new bike. Nice week end
How is the flip chip a gimmick?? IT changes how the bike rides. For instants on a Reign E while proper pedal position helps to reduce pedal strike so will putting it in high position. Also there is no denying the bike will handle different depending weather your in high or low position.
Also makes the bike more versatile. I've changed from a full 29" wheel setup to mullet, all I had to do was flip the flip chip. Without the flip chip I may have needed a new frame/bike
My first electric mountain was an old Gary fisher bike, and I attacked a bafang 750 with 48 volt 15 amph battery, and it's great I could not sell that bike even though I own 3 more ebikes
I like MTB and EMTB. Sometimes names just stick. Back in the 80s there was some effort to use “ATB” (all-terrain bike) instead of MTB (mountain bike). ATB seems more logical (we don’t only ride in the mountains), but MTB won out. Hey, EATB anyone?;)
I never say clipless I always say clips. English language is broken. The meaning of words and Latin definitions aren't considered when creating new words
@@ChristianPareATLAS "Clipless" pedals were introduced when many riders (including myself) rode with toe clips and straps. They inherited the name "clipless" because they eliminated those "clips" that we were all happy to abandon:)
Acoustic Definition: “relating to sound or the sense of hearing.” Sorry Owen, what’s ’acoustic’ got to do with a bike? An acoustic guitar at least makes sense, it makes sound without an amplifier.
Fairly new to EMTB and honestly a year ago I was making fun of people on E-Bikes but now I've got a big ole belly full of crow. That's ok though, I love my Orbea Rise. LOVE IT! Now when I see a challenging hill climb, I'm excited. I look at it and look for the best line to power up it. It's made MTB allot more fun for an older guy with a pulmonary disease and that's what it's all about. Getting out and having fun, no matter what you are riding.
AHH, acoustic relates to sound, in fact ebikes are way more noisy than traditional bikes therefore it's the ebike that should be called the acoustic bike! 😂🙄
That sram range extender most likely will not fit Nukeproof Megawatt Carbon. There is barely any space for water bottle as is. There is no way the extender fits without interfering with the rear shock.
If we want to be more accurate, mechanical bikes makes sense. Sure e-bikes have a mechanical aspect to them but are more accurately electro-mechanical bikes. Good luck trying to make it stick, and for casual conversations going smoothly using that.
On acoustic: acoustic is a sonic property. Its objectively inaccurate but language is subject to use? It also carries on conversation without stopping to explain.
Seeing that nearly ALL ebike motor/electronic providers (bosch, fazua, tq, shimano, yamaha, brose, etc.) all unanimously refuse to sell to consumers the parts needed to keep a bike going, one is almost forced to confine one's purchase to the biggest companies making these bikes because of worry over somehow obtaining a new non-serviceable motor or electronics assembly (I have no idea how the one ebike motor repair outfit in the UK gets their parts kits to repair the few motors they can actually repair). The right to repair is a real problem nobody seems to want to address other than a passing comment. In my youth, I worked in a motorcycle parts dept., and every part on every bike had a part number, and you could order it and install it yourself. Why do we continue to avoid demanding this same access to repair our devices as consumers. I'm going to buy my first serious e-mtb this year, and the 'which motor should I pick because it's eventually going to fail' question is really discouraging me. I've read only the Polini motor system is completely user serviceable, but their distribution in the market is very limited. I wish EMBN would dive into the world of how riders can keep these complicated and expensive machines going years after purchase (or are these machines essentially 'disposable'?), as this is a huge concern for many owners and folks looking to get their first serious e-mtb. cheers!
If you cant tell the difference between 5mm on the bottom bracket and 8mm on the chain stay and when you need to use either there's a good reason...... Your not a rider, you just cycle!
There are to many brand sout there. And, a lot of them making the same stuff as other companies. I like companies that have something different to bring to the table.
And even after you get through the hassle of registering, finding the correct "channel" to upload to and then uploading, nothing tells you about any success. Maybe it worked? Maybe they saw it and you're not cool enough? Maybe you have the wron bike(-brand)? Maybe you need to specify more? Who knows... I uploaded my 26 year old (then called) freeride bike, especially after a request on one of the shows - no idea where it went. 🫡
You really need to just let the other person speak when they are speaking. Not ask them a question then immediately start answering the question yourself. And then when they are speaking constantly interject. Drives me mad. Just constantly speaking over before the other guy can even finish what they are saying. This is not the first time I've seen this on this channel. There's no point in having a cohost if you'd rather not have them talk. This is really a general problem of the whole cast. Just no discipline or grace with letting people speak. What I'm generally referring to is speaking over people in sentences but also affirmations aren't good even for normal conversation, "mhmm, yeahh", but especially when you are creating media.
There not acoustic bikes there manual, the word acoustic is associated with the type of sound they make and mtbs don't make any type of musical sound!!!!!
My Levo got a SUPER NICE on today's show. Thanks gents! Some of my mates refer to our non-e-bikes as "naturally aspirated".
Owen, I like the word acoustic for non e-bike. I know exactly what you mean it's as simple as that, and let's keep this channel a happy place ❤
Non ebikes make no sound so acoustic is a poor term. Simple is non ebike vs ebike.
@@user-vv2ev6fx6g , maybe they meant Analog Bike ?
@xoombunny9431 that also work, as long as I know what they mean, I don't have a problem 😊
It's a valid comment. Acoustic pertains to sound not bikes.
They do sound different🤣
Not acoustic it’s Amish bikes

I built a M510 bafang motor and Carbon frame weighs in at 23.8kg including 840wh battery and rides great defo on a par with my Orbea Wild FS

can you you use sram rangeextender without the main battery pluged in?
Acoustic Definition: “relating to sound or the sense of hearing.”
Sorry Owen, what’s ’acoustic’ got to do with a bike?
An acoustic guitar at least makes sense, it makes sound without an amplifier.
Acoustic is a lovely way to reference a non- electric bike.
Perhaps, Amish, Vintage, or Fred Flintstone bike is less offensive?
No it isn't. Simply non ebike.
Non e-bikes are called “meat powered “ in our group 😂👍

EMTBs are mountain bikes though. So that's the tricky part. I usually say analogue for 'regular' mountain bikes.
Agree! EMTBs are a subcategory of MTBs. And I do prefer analogue/analog over acoustic.
Was the last e-EDR good? I could not tell... There was so little coverage it was hard to get a feeling of excitement.
Owen is a fine addition. But what did Steve do with Chris? He was great.
Owen is a HOOT!!!

Acoustique ou électrique, la guitare.

Acoustic, analog ? Ebike or Emtb, mtb road, gravel etc. were just fine.

More brands … who cares … it’s lower realistic prices we want
Does the New Shimano Eap8 motor rattle ?

Something tells me in a world of kinked seat tubes, that dropper has a limited future.
How about calling them Amish bikes🤣
Amish homies
Does Owen ever get a word in edgeways?
Can you enter more than once?
How to upload photo ? The link in the description is redirecting to some RUclips channel ?

I uploaded my emtb pic with my dog and they used it ...
I prefer 'MEAT-POWERED' to describe acoustic bikes...
Lots of Mfg'ers means there must be good sized Profit margins........
I call non e-bikes either and acoustic bike or a meat bike. :-)

You guys need to go back to analog bikes, you have too much left over energy.
There not acoustic bikes there manual, the word acoustic is associated with the type of sound they make and mtbs don't make any type of musical sound!!!!!
Same like guitars
You should NEVER buy a Chinese ebike......NEVER !!!!
I noticed the Chinese bikes are less expensive but
I have no way of knowing if it’s any good
Some lower quality electric bikes would catch fire if you left them plugged in too long or get over-charged. Be careful.
