- Whats Up Everybody, Welcome Back!
Today we ventured back to West Mount Cotton MTB Trails south of Brisbane, its been a while since ive been here and im stoked to get back for a ride.
The difference this time is that im on the all new 2024 Focus Jam2 SL eBike, this ride is simply insane with a claimed weight hovering in the mid 18kilo region and a 60nM motor to carry my 110kilo frame up the steepest of climbs.
The beauty of this new generation of eBikes is that there is no loss of agility and playfulness, in fact I found that jumping on this bike is easier than my MTB due to the weight being heavy enough to create phenomenal amounts of stability and light enough to throw it around like a BMX.
MT COTTON Trails although totally worn away and blown out are still some of the most exciting and challenging trails around the SEQ Region and always deliver the goods when you want to get rowdy and challenge yourself.
- Stay tuned for a full breakdown review on this exciting lightweight eBike coming in app 4 weeks time, and for now sit back, relax and enjoy the trails and the ride.

Welcome back to another super fun Shred session and honestly I could not have ridden a better trail network to put the Jam2 SL through its paces.
What a super trail, insane shreddly and fun ride.
# - Apologies for the recording quality, it recorded in 4K but would only download in 1080…
Thank you all for tuning in 👊
Nice vid Craig. no puffer in site ;-)
Thanks legend, it’s always in my pocket, legit if I get to a trail ready to ride and have forgotten my Ventolin I won’t risk riding.
Killing it as per usual Craig! There's a lot to be said for ebikes for sure.
Thanks Darren, Yes despite being somewhat of an eBike newby I am loving this newer lighter weight set up, soo much fun.. I want one now dammit..
Great vid! Big respect for commenting whilst going down!!!
Thanks heaps, I guess I learnt to do that in life as I have never seemed to stop talking 🤟😬
A great video Craig, an e-bike really has its advantages and the climb is so easy😁. Great ride and awesome jumps mate. Have a great weekend and ride on🤙
Thank you Christoph, I wasn’t a fan of the lightweight ones from the year before but new technology has made a massive difference this year.
Great work Craig .
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you.
I look forward to it.
👊
Looks like fun. Low Voltage Rock & Roll 🤪 Great edit mate. 👌
Thanks Mick, it was super fun.
Love the new intro mate! Sick vid and riding 👌
Thanks heaps David, I am thinking of making one like this for each video, an intro is always a good starter.
My mate calls it metamucil 😂 Nice video Craig, bike looks like a certified ripper
Haha that’s actually a good one Blake. Thanks for the props.
threw that e-bike around like it was nothin! I can say, after I went to an e-bike, I definitely feel a lot more stable. I thought the extra weight of an e-bike was gonna be a problem when you're in the air, then quickly found out that you don't even really notice it. killer video man!
Thanks Kiel, yes the heavier the more stability which is good, but the heavier the harder it is to throw it around and I’m not happy if I can’t be my hyperactive self on a bike 👊
We need to catch up for a ride before I have to give it back.. I rode Nerang the sarvo with Keithy, we were fkuk’d at the end.
@@FlowmentumMTB so true! Ahh yeh keithy is loving the new cube too! Yeh man definitely keen man! Will have to tee something up !
@@bikesandbulletsMTB 💯
Seriously Brother, you should write a book. You have the stories for 500pgs. The laughs the cries and the victory's
Have thought about it, and started it a few years back but I cant write for shit.
Its titled "The Ride Of My Life"
Nice video bloke, real shame to see Mt Cotton so blown out and hopefully they don't just let it go to complete shit!!!! Been thinking about a E bike lately and maybe a light E bike mite be the go, as you have no issue jumping it.
Thank you Mark, yes it’s getting substantially blown out and will be hard to fix if it gets too bad.
12 months back a lightweight eBike wouldn’t interest me as the motor were average but now it’s a new world of tec.
Awesome video mate and some top ridding too! Any chance you are still doing the full review on the bike? I'm keen on one after riding the jam2 sl 8.8
Hey thanks for the words, yes the full review will be coming shortly, unfortunately work plans have pushed back my hopes of getting the review out sooner. Stay Tuned.
Cheers mate, looking forward to it and good luck with the work plans
@FlowmentumMTB great review I'm also looking to buy one , can you give it a spin without the battery installed and let us know how it rides , and if there's any motor drag or resistance compared to a normal mtb ? Cheers dude 👍
That bike looks the goods Craig. I’ve been considering a lite ebike for a while. Interested to see the long term video 🤙🏼
Cheers Dave, yes I’m rather impressed, to a point where I would take this over a full strength eBike. It’s met every demand I’ve given it up steep climbs and I did a 21km ride today and dropped just 2 bars from the 5.
Nice@@FlowmentumMTB
Man that was a thorough shred to test it out. Great riding . Craig I’ve been looking at this bike the last few days. Great looking bike but I’m not sure if SL is for me. Does the smaller motor feel like a “full ebike” while climbing and does the smaller motor use less battery ? Being realistic I wouldn’t do many rides over 30km and the lighter weight means easier getting in and out of the Ute . I’m really interested in further reviews of this bike .
Thanks for taking the time and effort to produce a fine video
@@mickfromrocky thanks heaps legend.
The smaller motor is not as powerful as the full strength eBikes, it’s only a 60nm Vs 85/90nm in a full eBike but it pulls some serious power, I’m 110kilo and it climbs me up some serious climbs. I’ve not an issue with this size motor, I lose a bit of power but save a tonnage of weight.
The battery is a 430watt Vs 700+watts for full eBikes but I’ve put close to 60kms in over the last 2 rides and still one bar showing from the 5. I would be buggered n shagged before this battery went flat.
@@FlowmentumMTB I really need to try a few more e-bikes . I really dig the idea of these smaller motors after doing a tonne of research . I don’t need to ride up a hill fast , just easier .
I rode a mates Marin Alpine E a few months ago and loved it but man it’s a big bike .
I’ll keep a eye out for other videos you put out on this bike . I’m seriously interested . It’s got some incredible reviews on the things that matter .
Thank you for the reply and have a great week my man 👊
Nice Video!
I've also had this bike since August. Do you have any rattling noises with the Fazua on downhill? My Motor rattle a little
Hey thanks for the props, no I’ve not got a single rattle coming from mine at all. The motor is completely silent apart from the expected faint whine while pedaling.
Do it!
👊
Nice eeeb mate
Soo much fun Pete..
Wow I can’t believe the condition of Mt Cotton definitely needs a lot of TLC. Feel free to leave that e-bike in my driveway 😂😂great shredit edit buddy
Yeah it’s soo good right, tech n blown out.
Thanks for the props and luckily enough for me I don’t know where you live so your driveway will stay bikekess 😎
@@FlowmentumMTB ☹️☹️☹️gotta say I do like the look of the bike, look forward to the full review.
@@kevinmartin225it has geometry adjustments and adjustable rear end so it has all the goods to customize the ride to suit your needs.. I’m overly impressed..
@@FlowmentumMTB must be a good ride if you’re impressed by it
How is the climbing with the reduced power to a modern full fat ebike? Did u go up the fire trail or the climb track?
Climbing is absolutely crazy considering the motor and battery size.
Having a bike on or just under 20k helps as well but I rode Escalade for most of the climbs but did do the fire road as well and no issues even with my 110kilo body.
I kept the mode on full for 90% of the rides but in the 8 weeks I had it I threw challenging climbs at it and would break traction before the power would give up.
I won’t consider a full power eBike now.
What about the full review?
Full Review is coming, unfortunately work has taken prioritys and pushed back my plans to have the review done sooner, its all there and just needs to be edited.

I love these bikes but cant afford it 😠
Not that far off a top line Mtb anyway eh?
👊
Or I'll tell who smashed the garden up.
What garden, or is this best left forgotten?
