After a two year hiatus from the Amish life, on an ebike, I recently put the eeb up for sale or swap. Luckily for me some misguided legend wanted to swap his immaculate Druid for my E160.
I never did a PYR on the E160, or the Norco Sight A1, I had since the Insurgent, because neither came anywhere near the porn of that rig, but this thing is definitely worth a look see.
I rode one of these briefly, when I had the Evil, and to be honest I did not like the feel of the rearward axle path off the lips of jumps. It was almost enough to make me doubt the swap, but I thought it was something I could learn to live with. It was definitely a learning curve and required some tweaking of settings and technique to be able to jump it well. I am now pretty happy with the way it rides and it certainly punches well above its 130mm trail bike weight. Am currently running in mullet configuration with the Ziggy link.
It is fast and smooth and lunches rough terrain.
I have been riding the 150mm 36 well at its limits and am hoping to find a 160mm air shaft soon, but availability (2021+) is scarce to non existent.
