Trek Fuel EXE emtb

[Hugo Stiglitz]

Soooo SL bikes.. from a hater of ebikes. Anyone else having this journey?

I hired a Rail in the Peak district. In a nutshell I hated it. Yes it got me up the climbs crazy quick but it was numbingly dull on the descents. The descents and flow are the whole reasons why I ride.

I then bought a Orbea Rise H15 which I felt should be the right bike for me.

I didn't like:
- the artificial feel
- the kick in assist
- the noise
- still abit lardy


So I'm here, the Fuel EXE. It's got a low range, I'll have to work for my rides - but that's what I was missing post ebike ride- that glow, that slightly knackering feeling. Sweated.

Anyone else at this/on this journey?
