Hello Rob, Always interesting and well made videos so look forward to seeing this one.
I hope you having to have the xxxl size frame means more room for that battery.
whatever happened to the V2 self build. Awaiting parts maybe?
I think the OP has a point here. But I dont see it as losing the big cogs. You could have a robust drivetrain and lose the 4-5 highest gears.
Less bend on a thicker chain and more robust cassette of 5-7 gears.
You would easily reach your 15mph with that still.
Im interested in an Ebike for...
Good job testing in real world situation Rob. How something does on the flat or going slow is neither here nor there.
I sometimes think something gets lost in translation with some of these products.
Lost count of the amount of chinese products you try and find real user experience about and...
Liked the running review on youtube . Not sure the battery and key is that big an issue to a normal owner. Yourself you may have to deal with multiple bikes so it all adds up I guess.
What about all the bikes you have to flip over and dismantle to get at the battery?
A future Emtb not the future. An Ebike motor with a gearbox built in. Then a belt drive to the rear single sprocket.
Easy cleaning and almost zero maintenance.
I would think shimano boffins have one on the go as we speak in a secret lab. Same for other big names like botch.
They must all be furoughed off work with no pay in the far east at the moment. Obviously they want to work and earn money so
thats not permenant.
I can see the whole battery/motor area being like a groupset . Maybe it already is. If we get through this pandemic era they will ramp up production...
Great news. At a guess 2 stilus models probably means one with non big name components. Last model seemed very odd for decathalon sporting rockshocks and sram.
You would like to think 625 batt is the new standard if you are paying over 3k at decathalon.
Maybe in the short term Emtb prices have...
Bloody hell what a massive hassle it all seems. The hold ups and shortages seen here seem the same reasons mainstream shops dont have new stock.
Like anyone normal is going to go through this planes,trains and automobiles show to get one.
As for the limp motor I would imagine it is done for...
Eager to see how this is doing. Imagine lockdown doesnt help.
Personally would not drop 2k just because someone put some parts together. Seems odd people say they will without even knowing much.
Saw an interesting look video on how LOOK make carbon frames. Quite a complex slow process but oddly...
Im a bit puzzled by this botch motor upgrade. Its obvious more torque would lower the range.
Meanwhile we now have new emtb's that are sold on being lighter with a smaller battery but good range due to custom lower torque motor settings.
If I had a bosch emtb at the time I would have avoided the...
Well done Rob. Have been watching the Youtube channel for a while now. I like this latest project of yours and am happy to see it play out as
you will give an honest appraisal of the bike in actual use.
At the end of the day they are just copying not developing from scratch so of course its...
