I mean I’m not looking for cool, but the Gixxer is one awesome looking bike and at that price 😍

Thank you. This does help a lot. I mountain bike, but doesn’t mean I’ll do dirt bike riding. I don’t see it as something that’ll interest me. I would likely use a motorcycle only for commuting three times a week and maybe pick up my daughter from school now and then. The reason I was thinking ebike, is because I see it having a dual purpose and I’ve always wanted an ebike. But reading the advice (very good advice from everyone), it sounds like the maintenance will kill me, so that’s definitely not going to work. Thank you again. I’ll have a look at those cheap options. I’m not looking for cool 😄

thank you

I can't find anything online on Eewiz. Is that the right spelling?

I just googled the Zero bikes and it seems they no longer exist. Their facebook page hasn't been active for a few years now and their website is dead. I wonder what happened to them.

I'd love an E Motorbike, but as far as I understand there's very little available in this country. The ones that are available are insanely expensive. Do you know something I don't?

Thanks for the advice. For clarity, I have never riden a motorbike in my life and plan to get a licence. So it is a completely new experience for me. Sorry I should have made that clear in original post.

Thanks. Those are great deals, but I think if I go for an ebike, I'd choose a dual, because I'd want to use it for the mountain on weekends doing enduro riding.

I think it'll take me 2hrs to Pinelands on a bike (maybe even more), since the plan is to do the greenbelt. That would make me far too late. 1hr would be great. I was surprised you chose a bike over motorcycle in the rain. Is it because of the danger?

That was my original plan, but it takes too long. I have to first do school in the mornings. Would've been great to keep fit. I am hoping an ebike would cut the commute down by at least half.

Good morning Hubbers, With the rising petrol price, I'm starting to look at getting a motorcycle to commute to work. Looking at spending between R40k-R60k for secondhand one. Then I started thinking, perhaps this is an opportunity to get a secondhand Ebike instead and using that to commute to work. Then I'll have a something to play around with on weekends as well. My house (Tokai) is 22km away from work (Pinelands). Oh and I can shower at work. I would appreciate any advice on this subject. Am I being an idiot even comparing the two? Do any of you commute for that distance using an Ebike?

Cool thanks. I actually work around the corner from that shop

He’s in Pinelands Cape Town

Hi. My nephew (grown man) wants to start mountain biking and only has a budget of R5k… maybe a little more. What would be the best option? Old 26er full suspension; new hardtail 26er or cheap brand 29er. In my experience, if he enjoys Mtb, he’ll probably look at upgrading 2-3 months down the line. I’ve been in the R20k plus budget for last few years, so don’t know where to start with R5k. Any advice?

Thanks Matt. I will check it out

HI Bikehub. I tried giving a fellow bikehubber a good review, but got a message saying I can only review users with whom I have engaged with on BikeHub. Makes sense, but I did engage with him and he bought my bike.

yebo. It's still sitting in my profile

Thanks Nick. It works, except ads that have expired. Still has the same problem on those

I can select any of the options, but when I click Confirm, nothing happens. I have to use the X on top right to close window, but my ad is still there.

Anyone struggling to delete their adverts? Really annoying. I'm using Chrome, if that helps.

I also have a question regarding a watch. Do any of you use an Apple Watch? Is it any good compared to a Garmin, for example?

If I were you I’d sit on both bikes and get a feel for it. I do enduro riding and own a specialized Enduro and road my friend’s stumpie just a few meters. I simply love the way I feel on it and have been looking for a good deal on a stumpie ever since 😄. I think even if you’re doing minimal enduro riding, the Stumpie is perfect. I looked at the Epic and felt like I was always falling over the bars.

lol. crazy

On Saturday I road past a bunch of runners as I was going to Cobra. They were coming from Silvermine and had several dogs with them. As far as I understand, dogs are not allowed up there, especially because of baboons. I'm cycling for 20 years and have only ever encountered a runner on the singletrack once about 10 years back.

Subscribed! Watched the Conte video. Have not done that trail yet and this really helps. Maybe give a bit of info upfront about the climb, so viewers can know what to expect. Good luck
