First Ride: Canyon Neuron:ONfly - a Lighter 140mm eMTB
Odd they'd spec 170mm cranks on a XS emtb.

First Ride: 2024 Norco Range VLT eMTB - The Bosch-Powered High Pivot Machine
I have no idea what Norco was thinking. Who is actually going to buy this thing at 57-60lbs? I mean no one wants a heavier emtb in 2024, let alone one of, if not the heaviest one available.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: What Fenders Pinkbike's Editors Actually Use
Yeah the RRP ProGuard bolt-on looks good and works even better. Too bad they've been out of stock for awhile now.

First Ride: Merida eOne-Sixty - Low Weight or Long Range
@Betacygni: Why would I need a replacement motor when I can rebuild it for a 1/3 the cost? Shimano is the only large company not working, nor communicating with motor rebuild/service centers worldwide. After warranty, which is just 2 years, your only choice is to purchase a new motor.
On that note, just try to get a new E8000 motor from Shimano. I believe your faith is highly misplaced.

First Ride: Merida eOne-Sixty - Low Weight or Long Range
Aside from the bike I really want to like the EP801 as many brands still spec it, but I believe it's the only motor on the market that can not be completely rebuilt. Bosch, Brose and Yamaha can be. That leaves you holding a ~$1200 bag after the Shimano's 2 year warranty ends. Shimano Services Centers that repair the EP8 and EP801... zero.

Opinion: Your Next Bike Will Be Steeper
This is why people have been buying 50+mm riser bars. Stack height has been way too low for years. Pretty sure it's most of the reason that Friday Fails exists.
