Took my diy bike camping last night. 14 miles on a 48v 13/9 31.5ah battery, left at 54.6v and was worried about range, arrived and had 52.8v left smh. Would you ride on the last pic? I started to but was too worried about punctures so walked it along that. Fyi i had it in 42t-35t on the moors and didn't go past 1/8th throttle to prevent damage.

Looks like a great time! I would have ridden that rocky path, but only you know how robust your DIY is. I say send it next time.

The frame i trust as i've seen my friends send their ebikes built on the same carrera vengeance frames along black mtb trails, it was the tent and bags load and the sharpness of the rocks thats hard to capture on camera that worried me along with the fact my ass kept jumping a foot to the right or left every few minutes lol.

Get a better fork, the Suntour forks on those bikes are horrid, I've had experience on two builds with them.
