Evil Bikes

[jbrown15]

I’m surprised no one has posted anything about this, Evil Bicycles looks to be making an eBike. And looks like it still uses a Dave Weagle delta box suspension design.

Another interesting bike that’ll be let down by it’s motor.

and the brand whore one upmanship begins.

It will be let down by it's price not the motor

Hey ..when did you become " old tartan bollocks " ..and was the change painful ?

 

[jbrown15]

All the evil frames are sold out until 2022, Since about 3 months now. So prob spring of 2022. You’d need to order one the day it’s available otherwise join the painful wait of a boutique small brand. I really wish evil was able to go with an SL mahle motor. Give the kenevo SL some competition.

like Gary says. It’s price will be pretty stupid.

it can’t be any worse than the new Levo or the Santa Cruz Bullit.

 

[jbrown15]

If I was going to guess I’d think the new Evil eBike would be right inline with the price of the Santa Cruz Bullit XT build. Similar parts spec, same motor. Nice to see Evil is spec’ing WeAreOne carbon wheels on it. I love mine.

Ah yes Beelzbubs own chariots. A whiff of sulphur accompanies these

I hope the ep8 is good Gary I’ve just ordered a megawatt ??‍

 

[Doug Stampfer]

I thought the EP8 was a good motor? What's wrong with it? I've never ridden one

 

[Doomanic]

IME, it's thirsty and underpowered compared to a Bosch.

Yes it can

Fair enough, it's a comparison then kinda Fox vs Rockshox not really a bad motor like the specialized. .

 

[Doomanic]

I'd rather have a Brose than an EP8...

 

[jbrown15]

Yes it can

why would you think that? Their other bikes are inline with other comparable brands and equivalent models. It’s not as if Evil bikes more than other brands.

It's fine. I rode a mega watt last week.

I'm sure we could go on for hours but I massively prefer the smoother less punchy power delivery of all* Shimano Emtb motors over the Bosch. It simply makes for a far more natural ride characteristic. Which matters more to me than most here as I still prefer normal bikes and how they ride to any Ebike I've ever ridden.

*Yeah. Even the shitty E7000 ?

 

[Doomanic]

No doubt and if I’d never ridden anything else I’m sure it would be fine. It’s still thirsty though.

Ok, then we wait for more detailed information

 

[Mungalot]

Next week?

I'll probably sell my Rail for it, Evil's Delta link suspension is an amazing platform. Evil's aren't really that expensive...$3300/frame for reg bikes. They make great bikes. I've owned 3....still have the Wreckoning. I'd guess $8.5-9k for X01, $10-10.5k for AXS
