  2. [QUOTE=”OldBean, post: 132648, member: 330″]Loved the predictions Rob. You forgot my favourite…………..
    GEARBOX……???? Where are they?[/QUOTE]
    Thats in the 2021 video haha

  4. You forgot the biggie, 48 volt motors, much easier to get high cadence more like a normal mtb and less amps drawn for the same wattage, which keeps all that heat to a minimum for the fully integrated motor, that is now struggling to be air cooled, because its fully integrated.

    The other advantage of 48 volts is you can now get a 13S2P battery which is a little block in comparison to the monsters that you can’t put in your rucksack, which outputs 360Wh’s

  5. Right on Rob. I’m digging the smaller battery idea a lot. Also agree on acceptance, I’m only new to emtbs but notice on my local trails that some days the Es outweigh the non-Es in numbers.

    I’ve told you a million times not to exaggerate ..

  10. Thanks for the Predictions Rob.
    Have you seen the new PACE RC295 full suspension analogue bike? It’s gorgeous.
    What I’d give for those guys to bring out a boutique e-bike.
