Thinking of getting a emtb

[ade towell]

An alternative is to convert the hardtail you have if you are in anyway practically minded, would save a lot of money.
Put a Toseven DM02 mid drive motor with torque sensor plus battery on my old hardtail bike for £450 all in with 60 mile off road range and it has been fantastic, also put one on my 82 year old dads bike and he's having a lot of fun. Just a thought

My bike shop man said, 'get an e-mtb, they will go anywhere. Anything else might limit where you can go and the batteries and motors are so good these days (generally) that you can ride on roads quite happily with the thick tyres.'
I took that advice and after 2 / 3 years agree with him.
If I'm doing an exclusively road ride, I pop a bit more air in the tyres - which I THINK helps.

Less rolling resistance at higher pressures.

I've just put my Marathon Supremes on my egravel, replacing the Nanos, that are a bit overkill for my normal rides until now spring through to autumn on moderate-rough lanes. Plus they should roll easier, meaning I get more distance for my limited 250Wh battery on the Mahle X35.
