Until we get our driveline durability sorted out adding weight or power is a complete waste of time.
29kg for the bike, 7kg for the battery.
If you carry a second battery in your backpack you're close to this.
Yes, according to this review : Eurobike 2018: Visionäres Konzept-E-Bike von Mubea – eMTB-News.deIs that 29kg inc battery?
Don’t get me wrong I personally love the look of the bike but again durability on current ebikes is what will turn some riders away I fear and until that’s sorted adding weight and power just seems gimmicky and not addressing the real issues. Other fear is if power levels go up then we really will be riding past normal mountain bikes uphill at 25kph when they are doing 2kph and we all know how that song plays out :-(29kg for the bike, 7kg for the battery.

You mean drivetrain, chains? I don't see any issue here.but again durability on current ebikes is what will turn some riders away
You mean drivetrain, chains? I don't see any issue here.
It depends essentially on the conditions in which you ride. Have you had such a difference with what you're use to on a non-electric bike?
The problem with the current generation of gearboxes is they cant shift under load.
Still on the original cassette doesn’t skip yet. Shifting is the best it has been so far with the sram chain@Mountie Are you still on the original cassette with those 3 chains, any issues with jumping with new chain and old cassette ? Just wondering how many chains you can get away with before the block needs changing.

Mubea built this bike as a demonstration of their motor/gearbox and automated carbon manufacturing processes, they are not going to put this bike into production. In terms of their motor, they are in the same position as Brose, looking to sell them to bike companies to integrate them into their designs. The point of their carbon work is the fact that Mubeas layup process is entirely automated, and could (should) be a cost effective, more reliable alternative to the current standard far eastern hand laid carbon method, and in doing so bring some bike manufacturing back to Europe.
But the bike is freakin cool and i want one!
Nice idea but no bottle cage.
They scrapped this unfortunately.... he says responding to a two year old postUnless its something like the solution Continental is using in their new 48V motor that has an NuVinci 380 inside the motor. Nuvinci has no problem shifting under load. It's an interesting idea that unfortunately results in a very heavy motor.
