For the pace I can manage on a pedal bike a full face helmet seemed like overkill.
I have been having problems with the server running out of resources and giving errors. It is better but I'm still getting some periodically. Please report any you get to me at ken@kyler.com.

The full face DH helmet I have is much hotter and heavier than my XC helmets.

Re: Mountain bike trails
I got one of these in yellow and think it will be good and very light and well ventilated.

Re: Mountain bike trails
Neat, does it have a throttle or pedal assist or both? How much riding do you expect to do on a charge? I assume you've found enough trails close to home to make it worthwhile...

Re: Mountain bike trails
It is just pedal assist. It has 3 modes that you can select depending on how much assist you want, eco (50%), trail (80%), and boost(100%). The amount of assist can be tweaked also with an app although I haven't read much in to doing so yet.Marylander wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 9:22 amNeat, does it have a throttle or pedal assist or both?

The guy i bought it from said he could get a bit over 20 miles if he didn't run it in boost mode too much. This bike is built with a smaller internal battery than most ebikes (makes it lighter) but has a port to plug in an external battery if the range is needed.
Seems to be enough places to ride around here to have made it worthwhile. I rode another buddy's bike a few weeks ago which sold me on it.

Re: Mountain bike trails
Finally got to ride this thing for a few miles today. Was out of town then was waiting on a brake line that just sat at the post office for over a week before they decided to actually put it on a truck
It is definitely still a work out. You have to put the effort in and it helps you out.
Hopefully I can get out again tomorrow. Currently sitting in this hotel room charging haha

Re: Mountain bike trails
Put some miles on the Focus. I hadn't been to these trails before and it was only about 25 mins away (rolling ridge/speakeasy trails here in Jefferson county). It was way more technical than I was hoping. I would have turned around after 5 minutes on the analog bike
Did have an oops moment. Was able to shape a small rock with a larger rock to a shape to fit the nut and bolted it back on. Pinch bolts were still tight. Weird.

Re: Mountain bike trails
Eh, 50/50. Basically same as the dirt bike, gotta have momentum. Just a lot harder to keep it while having to pedal and not hit rocks with the pedals.
