Thanks for the information. Can you tell how much weight the bike was carrying including you and all your accessories. On their website they say 120-125 kg is recommended.
Do not buy this low quality bike!!! I bought a new Decathlon ebike. I rode 400 miles in 3 months (35 miles a week for 12 weeks), it was always perfectly cared for, lubricated with ebike lube and degreased, and only ridden on roads or paths and never stressed. Also most of the riding was done without battery power...however the gear cassette and chain wore out and needed to be replaced...at a cost of£59 (€70, $77) in three months. It was a new bike under warranty. Although the bike was under a 2 year warranty Decathlon refused to replace the worn out parts unless paid, they said these parts are not covered..for a bike 3 months old. Its my opinion that this was a case of low grade = substandard = faulty parts wearing out prematurely in 12 weeks and should have been replaced free of charge. The real cost to me of this will be £240 /€280 /$300 a year....due to the low quality/faulty parts....that is a very great deal money to maintain what should be an almost maintenance free bike on a yearly basis. A staff member said that the Decathlon ebike parts wear out quickly and were not to the longer lasting more durable Shimano quality. Do not buy any bike from Decathlon...my advice.
R.I.P bud, enjoyed watching your videos.
A good man . R.I.P. John .
What happened? I've just stumbled upon this channel
Sadly he had a climbing accident in North Wales .
@@2FeetForward What a sad way to go out, may God rest his soul
Part of my ride took me around Brenig yesterday, it would have been lovely to have bumped into you. It certainly was windy. Glad you had a good ride.
Nice riding terrain but too many people for my liking! Must be really busy at a weekend!
Great trip... Never ridden an ebike. Would be great for getting to work on windy days
I was an eBike cynic but they're certainly fun to ride!
R.I.P. John Appleby. You will be much missed by your family and friends.
What, really? Oh no, I didn’t know that. That’s so sad, always enjoyed his video’s ☹️
Such sad news, I've only been watching John's videos for a short time but he was such an interesting guy, RIP
Terrible news! Wish his family my best…peace and love to you all, he will be missed!

That's totally fabulous ⚪
Couldn’t agree more with the 30 year sentence for such crimes!
I wish they could catch the person who destroyed that Osprey nest and throw the book at him. Somebody must know who did it.

He passed away sadly, after an accident in Snowdonia
