Have fun on the Eurobike Rob!
I‘ve read that next year there will be a customer event day again (after 3days for the business) - good move.
Head over to specialized now please

i feel like a drug addict for checking for updates here every minute!
Looks like you will pick up lots of intel on what to spend the hard earned readies on in the spring, sounder if the 2019 Levo will break cover.

Cargo aircraft only for anything over 160wh. Even then, you have to be fully trained in the packaging and labeling of the battery / bike and sign various dangerous goods forms. I had to sit through 2 days worth of training just to be able to do it. You then have to find a courier who will set up a dangerous goods account without charging 2x as much as a battery (I've just had a quote for £800 for a battery to australia, or £450 for a bike w/battery)
So in short - quite easy for a company to do it. Personal use, not so much.

Not yet, I'm going to ask my contact there about 2019 bikes. I dont actually think that they are here, although its so bloody big I could have missed them.
You should have a closer look at the Lapierre e-Zesty with the Fazua motor...

What's up with Specialized? The whole interwebs is pretty silent about it... looks like there are no big news
Pics no worky on Tapatalk boss.

That is much better as far as looks go but at least where I ride, and for how long I usually want to ride, the Fazua system with the small wh battery just won't do the job. I guess I am not as interested in "autonomous" stealth e bikes as I came out of the e closet years ago and don't really care if someone recognizes my bikes as such. With tech moving at such a fast pace I prefer to let it all hang out and preserve the ability to adopt new tech as it comes along and not have to buy a whole new bike rather than just changing out a component or two.
Sure I would like as light a bike as possible but I generally find that if you compensate for it via watts available weight is not as much of an issue as long as you can still heft the bike easily enough over obstacles too large to ride over which any bike in the 45-50lb. range seems fine with. I can still ride all my bikes without power if I run out of battery on a ride and yes it is harder due to the weight involved but totally doable as I am not too proud to push for a bit if I have to.
I don't see allowance like the Jam bikes for putting on a range extension battery, but on another forum a suspension expert raised the question about suspension settings with regards to putting another battery and however many lbs. it will add affecting them. I guess you can reset for sag but it really goes deeper into the system as to how the suspension reacts with or without the extra weight aboard. I ride hardtails so it is not as much of a problem for me.

Please ask Focus why we cant easily remove battery and charge it off the bike.....ie during winter and when touring away from home where security could be an issue?
these shows can be HUGE you need a segway to get round everything.
Enjoy.

Anyone want to know anything from Pivot? Meeting them at 1pm
Did you find anything on the long lasting chain front?
Any Range extenders from BMZ?
Any mention of LifePO4 cells being used?
Interesting article on new motors at eurobike, Continental for me is an indication of where the future lyes, in terms on an integrated gearbox and motor, also really like the idea of a gates drive as they can take a lot more abuse than a conventional bike chain
