- What a build! I can’t believe how amazing it looks but boy it was tough to build. I am so new to the e-bike game but I would love to hear your thoughts/opinions and trick/tips regarding e-bikes and let’s get a discussion going! Make sure you like the video, comment below and subscribe for more! Cheers!!!
Check out the full range of Norco E-Bikes below:

You're gonna love it! It's a new challenge, uphills become fun and you seek them out like a technical downhill! 900wh battery will allow for some epic trekking days! E-bikes are so stable downhill, maintain speed like a boss and allow you to double your runs and fun, for real! Sweet build, enjoy!
Love this! Cheers. I look forward to it!
Looks amazing, something I will never be able to afford, so I will enjoy and look forward to watching your videos riding this beautiful 👍 Andy.
Mount your shock the other way so you have room for two water bottles. Beautiful build!
Thanks for this chill video. Visually it looks stunning
Cheers
Bikes a beauty! Well done on the parts
Thanks Kevin!
Since I saw the 150psi powered boost bottle valve jumping off once, slapping around like a weighted whip, I put on a pair of glasses why I touch a compressor or boost bottle.
Plus once - when inflating a used tire - the sidewall ripped and I was splashed with Stan's right in the eyeball :(
And we used to ride 100psi tires on BMX :O when those went wrong they sounded like a gunshot..
Nice bike..... too bad our local Norco dealership doesn't bring higher-end models lately. Wanted a Range .. and nop :O
Yikes haha!
with the shifter cable, once you get a longer one in, then just use black tape to tape it to the bar in few places so it's nice and secure
Ah amazing tip. I have it longer now but I will use the black tape! Thanks
Yes mate!! Welcome to the future haha - give us a shout if you want an adventure around the Brecon Beacons one day. Adventure E biking is awesome
Yewww
sick paint man
Looks amazing can’t wait for content
Thanks!
Hey mate, awesome build i got a Range VLT C2 coming in August and would like to know if you have ever stuck a 220mm rear disc rotor on yours?
Nice looking ebike I have the exact same fork and shock on my Levo Gen3 and three weeks ago the rear coil snapped and broke my carbon frame? Race Co Cycles got it all sorted and I believe Windwave and DVO have covered the costs so shout out to them for customer service. I understand they have said the coil is not suitable for an ebike and I now have the new DVO air shock that's is rated for ebikes. I do love the DVO suspension imho it's better that Fox and Rock Shock and I've had both on mt bikes. You will need burlier tyres than that Lewis DH case on the back and as much grip for the conditions you are riding as you can due to the extra weight and torque the motor delivers and the fact your a proper shredder as well. I think you will end up riding far more than you think especially in the winter months as you get a lot more grip due to the added weight.
Thanks for the input!
You'll love it! I've had a Trek for almost 2 years now. I ride further, more often and harder! I'm sure you'll test it's limits! Lol
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Have the same bike. Its a fast bike.
Have had no issues other than the usual abuse type things.
Will upgrade when they moves to bosch next year as the shimano is disappointing compared to pretty much everything else when range /distance is concerned.
Other than that rip it up bru!
Thought this was the riding video. Just a re-upload 😞 looking forward to hearing what you think. Should be able to lap the Golfie all weekend!
Yeah had to line up with norco posting about it today on IG! Nice well enjoy! Riding video coming next week
Some people are scared of change, glad you're not one of them. Enjoy!
Thanks!
Absolutely gorgeous bike, bro, and the VLT is a weapon. I am sure you’ll love it. I had the same combination of tyres on my Whyte eeb and destroyed the rear very quickly. The 2.4 doesn’t offer a very much faster rolling speed, but maybe does drop in to turns faster.
Watch your rims, though.
Thanks! Stoked
Looks good, will get round to getting an eeb in the next couple years. XX1 chain was nice and pricey as you said. With its hollow pins though will it survive ebike torque?
Yeah it should be ok! Fingers crossed haha
Sometimes wet roots are harder to deal with think it's the wieght. But your a good rider so probably not notice as much as me .mainly thoose white roots .don't think much grips to them tho
Love it bro. Those hydra hubs are fckn awesome. I love my ebike. You’ll notice how much you need to wrestle it a bit more on the downhills and techy bits though.
Thanks!
You will love it Lew dog 🐕 can go to places you probably wouldn't on a analogue bike so shred the gnarl mate 🚴♂️
Yeessss man
ebikes are the next frontier.
For the most part Acoustic bikes have peaked. So much invocation left in the Ebike segment. The lightweight SL models are what interest me the most.
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Not a new build if an expensive part doesn't hit the ground 😨. Awesome build, I'll add an emtb to my stable one day.
😂😂
Word to the wise, go cheap on ebike drivetrain parts. Chains and cassettes just don't hold up long. It gets expensive quick when you run high end drivetrain parts on an ebike.
Thanks for the tip!
a think imo ebikes should come stock with atleast 230mm brakes front and rear
E-bikes definitely have their place, I know a couple of people with health issues that find an e-bike enables them to ride without excessive strain on the body or heart.
I'm not ready to get 1 yet but I might change my mind in 10-15 years.
I agree! Thanks for ya input
You will soon get used to the wieght I've found normal bikes feel a bit light and scrawny after riding one. I feel it makes mtb much better as you go places you wouldn't normally. Ride more .decend more .I bet you become addicted to it .enjoying climbing is a bonus too see you on the Hill
I just hope it does't negatively impact the race results and unmotorized vids. Apart from that, I couldn't care less about the build. Sry man, I held out hoping for a new DH or trail rig
Yeah it’ll be coming. Bonus of having multiple bikes :)
Dh build next
@@LewisBuchanan ahh so all is well :)
Wow what a hog 😮💨
100%😂
They take some stopping on steep tech which takes getting used to
For sure!
It's really a shame to see people going electric these days, you may as well just buy a motorbike. So sick of rude e bikers pushing you off trails and not saying excuse me or saying sorry. Definitely a different breed of riders
I take it you haven’t ridden an ebike? Rude people will just be rude no matter what they ride.
😂 it’s not e-bikers that are rude, it’s just the person themselves that can be rude
paul go buy yourself an e bike, join the team live the dream 😂😂😂👍
