Just remember the unofficial motto of the Windsor's. 'Don't explain, never complain'.

"Nah Manitou make stylish lamps hun, although they obviously haven't sent the shade I'll see if there's another use for it. No it was on sale no returns."

Maiden trip out on the EX-e.
It’s a great bike, set-up was pretty dialled from the start which I’m happy about
The saddle is too narrow so that’ll get swapped before the next ride though!
28km and 500m elevation had me on 2% battery when I rolled into the car park, I need to learn to ride with a motor but started getting it towards the end.
Love it.

I guess not. My father in law still had 25% left, and I was stressing the motor a bit at the start and riding it like a normal bike. The last 50% lasted a lot longer than the first 50%. I’ll get used to it

Full assist all the way :D They have a 360w battery ?

Sounds about right, I'd be around 50% on a 30km ride doing 500-600vm with a 750w battery.

There's a whole new world of ascending skills to learn, maintaining speed climbing, speed in to switchbacks knowing the power will get you around while leaning into them and uphill tech that you wouldn't even have thought about hitting.

Good fun !

What's the date of manufacture on the box?
Shirley they're past the bushing issue stock by now (assuming that's what you're thinking)?

I bought mine September 2020 and they were beyond the affected batch then.

Oh they are way past that and I'm sure the fork will be fine, it's just I noticed the latest release comes with the black chrome stickers rather than shiny chrome.

Was running trail for the bulk of it, so 2/3 power. I weigh 110kg though so I’m not surprised it was lower. I was also riding the way I’d ride a normal bike uphill so not making the most of it. Still, I’d struggle to do 15km on the Prime, so double that is pretty good in my book
