Friday video. Conor MacFarlane

Cono Mac Farlane shows us what can be done with an e-bike


When he's not in the works, the New Zealander is riding his COMMENCAL! So when the opportunity to build some huge jumps in the Queenstown wilderness presents itself, Connor jumps at the chance to mix business with pleasure. With a shovel and a pickaxe, he drives to the scene with his META POWER. His philosophy is clear: with or without an engine, limits on a mountain bike are meant to be pushed. In this video, the man we are used to seeing in competitions such as the Fest Series and the Red Bull Rampage proposes new great tricks in EMTB. No doubt Conor has no time to waste! “Whether you love them or hate them, it is undeniable that e-bikes are useful and that they bring many more people closer to the world of cycling. I use my META POWER regularly for first sightings and for carrying equipment to work, as well as personal pleasure of course. It's never been very motivating to carry water and gear on a regular bike, so a little electricity made life easier. Most of this video, apart from the Dream Track, was shot on trails/paths that were originally found and/or built with the use of an e-bike. So a round of applause to electricity for making my life easier and more fun at the same time. When I try out a new bike, if I've never ridden that specific frame before, I go to the local mulch jump which is one of my first port of call to see how it handles in the air. The META POWER was no different and exceeded all my expectations. The weight gives it a feeling of great stability. One thing leads to another when it comes to jumps, so I thought I'd film everything I was doing with the Meta Power. I can say that I am a big fan of META POWER”. – Conor MacFarlane
