I've never had a problem with my other ebikes. In fact one of the trail maintance guys at Gisburn borrowed my Haibike for an hour and ran the battery flat (then bought one the next day)!

Finally took the nuke proof out on a proper ride at cannock. The bike fits me so much better than the canyon which is strange as there both 18.5". Dropper seat posts are without a doubt a trail must, completely changed my ride for the better.
On pink bike review the am pro 27.5 was getting a lot of hate which downhearted me no end as I thought I'd made the right choice of bike but all these pink bikers were slating it
. Well I loved every second on it, it was well over my expectations. On downhill sections it's so fast with no effort it actually scared me and got the adrenaline going for sure. It accelerates so fast, 2 pedal strokes from a stand still and your going some! It's over 1kg heavier than my trusty canyon but it feels a lot more nimble on tighter sections which is wrong on paper as the canyon is 26" and the nuke proof 27.5". At Cannock i always felt under biked on the canyon, like it was holding me back but the mega is a far superior bike than my bike skills. It must be the wider bars , slacker ht and longer tt.
Nearly broke my Cannock record and I haven't rode properly for a good 4 month!

Can't imagine that bike getting haters hatin' - frecking sweet as ride, glad you're liking it.
...this however gets this hater hatin'.
Get out
We started him off on the smallest balance bike around which is called a tiny bike. He was riding that before he could walk at around 13 month old. It took him a good 3 days to get used to it but he was soon lifting up both feet and coasting around. He kept the tiny bike till he was 2 then it got abit small so we got him the frog bike in the picture. He is a handfull on it at times as he goes at running pace! He loves going out on it, all i have to say when hes throwing a strop is "you want to go out on your bike?" and hes golden
.Agreed - balance bikes are awesome. My little lad had a wooden one and ended up bombing round the house on it, jumped on his first proper bike with stabilisers but after about 10 days I took them off and he was all good to go. Been riding since he was just over 3 without any issues.

I've destroyed my reverb and its well out of warranty as it was one of the original versions from 2011. Does anyone know of the best place to buy at the moment or have discount codes to get them cheap(er)?
Thanks

Nice one, cheers guys. Think I shall get one ordered.
Seen a cool Giro helmet too!
Checked Bike-Discount.de ?

I bet you use uplifts though
Luckily I don't have to ride it on an abortion like that though.
Go show it off to the roadies, maybe they will be interested.

I'm sorry - is it not a mountain bike? I suppose this isn't a mountain bike either then
Are you implying I'm not a mountain bike just because one of the bikes I own has a motor on it. You still pedal it you know.

To be fair to you that bike and yours are in different leagues.I'm sorry - is it not a mountain bike? I suppose this isn't a mountain bike either then
I jest.If you want to think you're a mountain bike, you carry right on chap. Don't let anyone tell you different!
Putting a motor on it defeats the point, makes it heavy and look awful.
Has absolutely no advantage when bombing downhill and only a few guys here like to pedal.
I can understand a motor on a road/commuter bike but not on any form of mountain bike.
