Just watched it Cameron. A great intro showing the beautiful autumn colours and a very informative review of the bike. Although I'm not ready for an ebike just yet it was very interesting and a good guide for those looking to buy one.

Another good video Cameron - always nice to see one from someone who actually bought the bike and was not given it with the intention of marketing purposes! And refreshing you mention the negatives as well as positives, stay well and hopefully the feet issue will be resolved soon. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

I was waiting for my first Powerfly 5 bike to delivered to me when I stumbled onto your great video. What a refreshing time I had watching it. Your experience is put to us who are viewing in plain terms and I have used a lot of your points when I am riding on my new bike.

Great review Cameron! Really well put together - some lovely shots! Thinking of getting back into cycling as it is something I always loved. I am lucky to live a few hundred yards from the Trans Pennine Trail, so have plenty of nice rides at my disposal. I think an E-Bike would help my aging body get back into it, and the Trek caught my eye (already have a Trek non electric).

You may well have convinced me an Ebike is the future for me as I reach my mid 60s, thanks for the review.

Thanks for the review of the bike, I’m in the same situation as you and looking to buy my first ebike, so many options and prices that is hard to choose a good one, ai find your review very helpful… thanks again

Its the way to go Cameron, my Merida gives me a incredible amount of freedom, the Shimano Steps system has been faultless even in the extreme downpours i've cycled in. Good on you.

*So far so good my **Latest.Bike** , 35 miles so far, been great. Changed seats, makes the ride a little better. Lot of power, happy with purchase.*

Hello Cameron great review on your bike, unfortunately my bike doesn’t have a battery. We enjoy the outdoors, biking, camping, walking, and of course our Scotland too! Lovely sense of humour you have. Beautiful little ride through the trees there at the start of your video.

Really enjoyed listening to your musings. You have a great sense of balanced views - in regards to the bike, your skill level etc. Bravo. A lot of "amateur" MTB KZfaqrs often overcompensate/exaggerate their expertise.

I swore I would never buy an e-bike when I moved to an hilly area surrounded by woodlands as I thought it was cheating. After 3 years riding my road bike I decided to buy the trek marlin 6+ electric and wow your so right it takes cycling to another level. I can now literally go any where I want up hills any where on the tracks in woods. I mean it is still a work out as you still have to pedal but I do go alot further now and discovering so much more In my area with out the worry of getting back after a long trek. Great video, you explained everything that the benefits an E-bike brings.

Thanks for the honest review, I remember watching tour video last year. I am finally in the market for my first ebike and the Powerfly 5 has always been my priority. I think my riding habits will be similar to those of yours, trails, hills and leisurely rides that my normal bike wouldn't take me. Am looking to get a bike in the coming weeks/months to hit the Welsh scenery which looks very similar to your beautiful Scottish mountains!

Great vid I have brought a powerfly 5 with the 625 battery 5 months ago done about 300 miles so far and love great bikes you certainly do a lot more miles when out on a ebike

Great review. Really enjoyed this.

Thanks for the honest and detailed review.

Ebikes absolutely help with maintaining and improving fitness. They allow you to maintain a longer aerobic window.

Just purchased a 625w powerfly 7 2022 it's a beast

Great video well done, I have a Powerly 2021 and my Partner Debbie has Powerfly 2020 they are brilliant we've had no problems at all. Where was the video shot, beautiful place. I have the motor off most of the time and have done 70km and used oy one bar out of 5.

Think we will be making the transition to E-bikes soon, thanks for the insight 👍👍

Regarding fitness. I use a heart rate monitor and target an average bpm for my rides. I have found that using the power a bit more than I did improves my average speed and makes me put in more effort and encourages me to out out more. E bikes are great for fitness. Another grey beard here.

Excellent video Cameron. As for tubeless, good luck with that one! My hybrid bike came with tubeless tires, wouldn't hold air for any longer than a day, so swapped to regular tires.

Lovely review

I have the same bike, had it nearly a year and coming up for 1,000 miles so your mileage is impressive. Bit disappointed in the range - 70 miles stated on a full charge in eco mode. 25 mile run later display says 30 miles left. Apart from that (and the weight) I am very happy with it👍

Cameron do you pause on the pedalling whilst changing up gears if not i find that if you do it stops clunky g/changes...ps totally brilliant ebikes got mine at 69 now 70....2000miles cant keep off it 👍👍👍

What youtubers do you follow?

I'm thinking of buying an bike so this was helpful , at 77 and never been on a bike since i was 18 do you think it's true that we never forget how?

Tubeless is the answer in south Africa it's a no brainer

I think it's for lazy people but I want Buy one

I like the bike idea but I think is for lazy people
