Ah, well he could buy my old Norco Sight!

Just go full boomer scooter and get a Surron.
It’ll be cheaper than an eeb and u dont have to tell everyone (and urself) that it’s a one off cheat day.

Just had a youth ride past me on the mean streets of carrington utilising one of these (the importer seeks to be around here somewhere). If I felt inclined to get into dirt bike riding the silent nature of an electric motor would be mighty interesting to me. The noise of motorcycles has always been a bit of a turn off to me.

And you'll need a ute to carry it around.

I was in Carrington last weekend! Beautiful place

They ride really well - a little weighty but you can buy some quality wheels and lighten up the rotating mass by at least half a kilo. The standard bike came with a Rockshox 35 but we got a Pike Ultimate as a warranty replacement!

I’m liking these thanks

Thanks to everyone for responding appreciate it

I all seriousness get the eeeb or at 6.2 feet and bang on your budget chase this up:

IBIS CYCLES RIPMO AF SRAM NGX or DEORE/DVO | Summit Cycles

The Ripmo has no downhill speed or terrain limits, yet it still magically climbs like a bike with less travel and tackles technical terrain with the best of them. The geometry feels perfectly dialed and it excels both up and down the mountain. The DW-Link suspension handles the 147mm of...

oh that's a damn fine deal on the Ripmo - I'd get that over the Norco.

100%. You’ll be wanting more travel in about three months if you get the Norco. This might make it six months before you want more travel and buy the 170mm bike you should probably just start with
(Speaking from experience)

 

[Tubbsy]

If OP really is just riding fire trails at the moment with a view to getting on proper trails in the future Ibis works well because DW link pedals so nicely JRA - but works well hitting stuff too.

No wonder bike companies are going bust when bikes are being pretty much given away at cost!

Whispers are there's a new Ripmo due, so that may have something to do with it.

 

[Jabubu]

It's only available as an XL in Deore spec - go for it!

Plenty of duallies brand new from bicyclesonline around that price too.

$3k is too much bike for fire trails. So throw in some sweet singletrail and maybe a flow trail if you do drop that amount of money

HEY! We are trying to spend someone else's money here! It has nothing to do with logic or common sense.
