My ebike is already so freakin amazing, honestly. 2022 RM Altitude A70 I got on 20% off sale in spring ‘23 for $7400CAD. The A30 I wanted for $5000 was out of stock. I blast up fireroads at 15-20km/h. I can do 4 laps of my local trails on a charge, which is ~1500m elevation. I usually only have time or energy to do 2 or 3 laps. On descents the bike feels fine. It doesn’t feel like my 35lb enduro but it’s just as fun. The ebike’s huge weight is most annoying getting the thing on/off my NS rack. The other complaint is I feel obligated to run cushcore, which feels vague but I don’t actually need to use inserts. Honestly, I think my ebike is pretty close to perfect today. I know they’ll get better over the years, but out of the 9 bikes that I’ve bought, it’s up there for value and by far my favourite!

@kobold: what was Greg’s face like when asked tire choice? Didn’t he design the Ass-guy tires?!

Tech briefing aka: here’s a bunch of random crap you can buy!

Agreed!! I’ll grab my endura 4-pocket shorts out of the dirty laundry hamper before riding with any of my shorts with 2 pockets

Also surprised by grip1 for the price. I know haters going to hate, but I got last year’s altitude A70 e-bike for $7400 cad. It’s not carbon but it’s got a motor I can smash up the grunty fire road at 20km/h and do 2 or 3x the laps

@mtb-thetown: yes yes, it is all dead accurate! Visitors beware! In fact, it is safer to stay home and not come ;)

holy! sick edit and sick riding! Godspeed on your recovery. PS Tom: don't congratulate your bro on King of Crankworx and just chirp him about going sans spins & flips on the Speed and Style event.
