You make it easy to. Great content with info and filming. Always enjoy when we get new upload from you. Keep up the great work.

Always loving your honest reviews. I know how hard it is to balance access vs disclosure, and no one does it better than you. Thanks for daring to try out Bafang builds as well 🙌

Great list rob 👍🏻 I think you should do some reviewing or testing on the new Whyte E180 I think this bike would really suit your riding style and the geometry is crazy 👌🏻 also the 2024 models offer great spec at a good price 👍🏻

Thanks for the great review! All the best to you and yours in 2024! 🎉Kindly, Dennis

Hi Rob Great content and presentation. I bought the Orbea Wild Alloy after your and others recommendation. The H20 is just over 26 Kg, with a unworkable fork. This despite trumpeting the top end bike’s weight at 20.8kg. It is a bit of a monster truck! I hope I can remove the 750wh battery and just run it off the yet to be released Powermore 250 as an SL, as you too have suggested on insta. The point is that average Joe like me buys the cheaper model in the hope that the outcome is similar to what you and others describe, in this case it wasn’t. My request is that please do speak up about value for money, weight, who the bike is most suited for and other bikes(specifically entry level) in the range and which might be the best bang for the buck.

New orbea is killing it

Totally agree 👍🏻

I have the h10 is totally

I've just ordered the h20 as I have a zeb ultimate fork and ohlins coil shock and carbon wheels ready to go on along with 155mm cranks 👌 one Descent on a demo bike solt it for me. Feels just like my rallon with a motor. Previous ebikes are santa cruz heckler v1, haibike all Mtn 3.5 and a cube stereo hybrid 160. Keep up the great content Rob

Can you ride these on mtb only trails.?

I’ve had mine for 2years,you will love it.

I'm already loving it. But I noticed a few things, I'm not 20 anymore (going on 46), I'm totally out of shape and that RockShox Fork has got to be a joke

Its been available on amish/manual bikes quite a while. Hasnt exactly taken the market by storm.

@@bradsanders6954 The Grip Shift is what's holding it back . An electronic shift system us rumored to appear in March

pls check also Decathlon BTWIN LD920E that use Toyota eCVT like system

I love my Rail 9.7. No need for another e-bike anytime soon.

Hey, Rob! Could you be so kind to answer my questions from my original comment? Thanks a bunch!

Thanks! Sony A7SIII

Im sure we all wondered about cost and weight on the Pinion equipped bike. I dont think the bike is commonly available yet.

Price?

@@fzr1000981Way too much. But it's on their website and it depends on how you configure it.

Agree ..pls check also Decathlon BTWIN LD920E

@@roberthandzus8972 if decathlon is already on it then it means all big brands must be aware of the trend

exactly!!! i am so curious what sram and shimano will bring to the table in the next years though!

The 2024 e180 looks amazing and had had some great updates in wheelsize / battery / and geometry 👌🏻👌🏻 can't fault a Whyte

Sounds like you desire a dirtbike

@@HarryKuloh no I’d just rather go back to a pedal only bike if they are heavy and shite past a very slow 25kph cut off

De restrict an e bike or go buy a frey beast 👌👍

@@MrFlapstick Get an SL. They don't feel that way nearly as much.

⁠​⁠@@megane230f1don’t need the extra power, but the restriction is immensely problematic. Acoustic bikes still have a massive edge for proper mountain biking.

Look into the Huskvarna Hard Cross or Mountain Cross. You will save so much money without sacrificing on components. Im a Specialized rider and just bought a Levo. I wish I heard about the Huskvarna before my purchase.

@@mtbhanna6926 thanks , will look into those .

Theres literally hundreds of e-bikes out there. I’ve not tried anywhere near all of them. But this is a list of my top 10 that I’ve tried 👍👍

no

Not just that for 12k you will get sick motor bike

Yeah they killed the market, too pricy!

I’ll get a almost new car for that wtf lol

Yes they are expensive but what kind of motorcycle or car you going to get for 12k something cheap and not particularly cheerful as you saw you can get a decent e-bike for 3k why do you guys always pick out the most expensive

@@bladerr900 I have have 2 emtbs for 6 yrs watching the price go up, I’m sure you already have a couple 12k bikes! Good for you!

Yes. 👍

January :-)

I saw it in the flesh recently and was impressed!

How wonderful that amidst all the boredom, you stumbled upon something that caught your interest! I’m so happy that you found something that you agreed with! Your ability to spot the extraordinary in the ordinary is truly impressive! 😉

Well at least you spent 10% of the video on the future of Ebike tech. 2024/2025/2026 may well tip the balance from extraordinary to the ordinary for the vast majorly of users@@RobRidesEMTB

As soon as possible! Im trying to get a bike with it, its a bit harder in the UK!

@@RobRidesEMTBLooking forward to it! Deeply curious on your experience with belt considering the choice of Rotwild to stick with chain because of its better responsiveness.

Production is well in swing for Sonni. We have our bikes in transit now so the Pole Hub will have them very soon.

It’s in the top 5 for sure.

Thanks to your video and thread on emtb forum I converted my Kenevo to full 29, unreal. Keep the content coming Rob 👍🏼

Such an amazing bike isnt it?! Glad you're enjoying it.

Crestline 29er ftw

Don't know if buying the 2023 kenevo and turn it 29 like yours, or going with Orbea Wild or Mondraker Crafty,?? I'm 1.84 cm and 90 kg . What do you suggest me Rob ??? Thanks

Totally agree!

lol

I remember when 100mm was a Dh bike 😢
