It only has 9 gears, that seems low compaired to e.g. a lot of Cube bikes and the 70Nm yamaha Motor is also less that on e.g Cube reaction hybrid, which has 85Nm... do you think this males a difference for an average diver?
@@leeteemtb9587 thanks for your opinion. What do you think about the motor, compaired to your Cube? I am willing to buy this lapierre, but currently there seems to be low/no stock anywhere.. going to talk to my bike dealer tomorrow 🙂.
I sold it a while ago. Fed up of the chain coming off whilst riding xc trails. Brakes were brilliant on it yes. I’ll send you a link to the vlog I did with chain issues
Thanks for making a great video! I've just ordered one of these, and was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for the frame protection you have used and have you added anything to protect the downtube/battery. Any advice would be very much appreciated 👍
I always use electrical insulation tape, it’s cheap and good value. I have used duck tape on the Down tube in the past. Also neoprene covers are good. Make sure you get a chain device because I had a problem with the chain coming off the front chain ring on bumpy trails. Glad you liked the vlog👍
Brilliant, I’ve got one due for delivery on Wednesday and your vid helped me make the decision. There’s not much out there in terms of reviews either, so thanks again for the great vid. Cant wait to see how clunky the front forks are! 😂 may have to follow suit with upgrading but will see how I get on.
Happy days and hope your new ebike is all good. Good to buy new as warranty always helps. Mine has come up with error 71 a few times but clears. Might be a glitch. Been okay on my last few rides
Thx for the video. I'm surprised, the charging point is very low, under the bike. If u ride in the mud or water, it may be risky...? (sorry for my English, I'm French)
@@leeteemtb9587 I have an Emtb, and trust me, you will be tempted to ride in mude conditions and even worse conditions ;) those bikes are made for extreme conditions! I have crossed rivers with mine :D
I easily got 50 miles on eco. They are a good budget full suspension Ebike. Just be careful of the chain coming off on bumpy cross country. I had a nightmare on my vlog at the climach trail. Search it out on my channel and you’ll see. I ended up calling it Crapierre 😂
I Found one on website but first store it's 300miles from me 😂I just wander if something happened to Electric or whatever how they should sort that issues 😂I just little bit scary to buy bike from far store
@@MatthewAntkiewicz I understand your concerns, I sold my lapierre ages ago. Riding a KTM hard tail Ebike now and I must say I’m impressed. Less to go wrong on a hard tail Ebike but a bit tougher on the butt
Thanks for everything it's really good biek for the price 🤦still have a question what about charger how long you need to charge battery to full? It's any change to buy different charger to quick charge? maybe you have Idea how much could cost extra battery so Maybe you will able to take with you ? On trip thanks ☺️
@@leeteemtb9587 I haven't long brought the same bike but couldn't figure out what is was for and I have given up on the instructions!!!! Thanks for the reply
@@philipjames-watkins2583 Hi Philip can I ask how you like the bike 6 months on I am seriously considering buying one as they seem very good value. Thanks
@@hamishmctavish2977 Hi , the bike is great for my needs. Provides great assistance uphill , I generally use the standard assistance mode. I go off road but no mad jumps , the suspension works great and assists in keeping the bike under control. The only thing I would recommend is putting a dropper post on as this assists when throwing the bike down hill. I am very pleased with it and have had no issues with the exception of cracking the battery cover with a stone thrown up off the trail. The replacement was reasonably priced and quickly delivered. ( I brought the bike through Cycle solutions and they were brilliant with the initial purchase and the replacement battery cover). I know there are a lot more expensive bikes out there but this is a good bit of kit with a reasonable set of components which suits my needs.
El iman es un sistema de cierre para eliminar el tornillo y convertir el cierre de la bateria en algo mas sencillo y no depender de la llave torx

A lot of the newer ebikes are coming with 10 speed set up, I guess it’s an industry thing and if one does it then the others follow
@@leeteemtb9587 thanks for your opinion. What do you think about the motor, compaired to your Cube?
I am willing to buy this lapierre, but currently there seems to be low/no stock anywhere.. going to talk to my bike dealer tomorrow 🙂.
I prefer the yamaha on the lapierre to the bosch on the cube, thats just a personal opinion though.
Do you still own the bike? Any problems yet and are the 2 piston brakes enough?
I sold it a while ago. Fed up of the chain coming off whilst riding xc trails. Brakes were brilliant on it yes.

@@leeteemtb9587 Awesome! I'll give some neoprene and electrical tape a got when the bike arrives, and look into a chain device. Thanks very much 👍
Back to full bounce 👌👍 Cool bell by the way 😁
Yes. The cube hard tail was getting harsh on the Botswana. The bell rocks. Top man
Hi great vid! Really informative. Just wondering in in terms of the Yamaha Motor how does it compare to your Cube bike for performance and output.
The Yamaha is 15 more nm but can’t really notice the difference. Full suspension does make a hell of a difference though. Softer on the Botswana

Sounds great for the price
It is a bargain but all sold out now
What do you use to recharge suspension to 180 PSI, pressurised cylinder or hand pump?
Mini pressure hand pump Fred
Looks great for the price Lee, I bet it’s quicker than Marks 🤣😂
Mark struggles with his bad hand but he’s never far behind. Uphill is a bit different though 😆
Thx for the video. I'm surprised, the charging point is very low, under the bike. If u ride in the mud or water, it may be risky...? (sorry for my English, I'm French)
I will only be riding the bike in good conditions to be fair. The charge point is very well sealed.
Votre anglais est très bon

Hi, what do you get miles wise with a full charge????
On eco + it displays 117 million range but that is with a pinch of salt. No trails are the same. I reckon about 60 miles on eco.
How many miles you can do on one charge? I see they are now for 2499f on website
I easily got 50 miles on eco. They are a good budget full suspension Ebike. Just be careful of the chain coming off on bumpy cross country. I had a nightmare on my vlog at the climach trail. Search it out on my channel and you’ll see. I ended up calling it Crapierre 😂

Does this not have s removable battery?
Yes it does
Did you figure out what the mystery tool was for ?
Never found out no 😂 probably a French thing.
Sold that bike a long time ago

Anyone know what dropper seat is best for this bike
The one I used has a lever below the saddle like an office chair to drop and then press to re locate back up. About £35 on ebay
