Agreed. It would be a logistics and support nightmare.I'ts highly unlikely they would offer 2 different full power motors.
My guess is the Brose deal was made a long time ago and they bought Amprio to have design and production capabilities for future models.
That looks A LOT like the Brose motor which was initially seen.

Makes sense always wondered why so many bikes have Shimano.Historically (and with some exceptions) shimano will supply/sell a smaller amount of units to brands, whereas Bosch you need to order a shitload - this is one of the reasons a lot of brands go with Shimano.
The other is that the shimano ecosytem is far more flexible than the Bosch one in terms of component choice, and also critically comparability with some third party suppliers (e.g of batteries) which bike designers like.
With Bosch you are locked into their full system with no choice.
Simply put with Shimano a bike designer has more freedom
Only a matter of time before Shimano decides that the size of its market share warrants locking customers into its products. Classic proprietary marketing strategy.Historically (and with some exceptions) shimano will supply/sell a smaller amount of units to brands, whereas Bosch you need to order a shitload - this is one of the reasons a lot of brands go with Shimano.

Looks like maybe a new carbon Propain ebike.
The Transition Repeater just got more interesting to me, if the SRAM motor ends up being any good.
Looks good apart from :-The Sram Eagle Powertrain motor and new battery tech!
There have been rumors about a new Sram motor all year. And now, all of a sudden, the Sram Eagle Powertrain is here. Check out Robs video for all the info about motor, autoshift and so on. But if you care about battery tech, remember to read the...www.emtbforums.com
I'd guess if you elected not to run an AXS dropper, for how often you'd use the left switch, you could move it further inboard and have the normal space for a dropper.Looks good apart from :-
Have to run AXS dropper (max 170mm), unless you can squeeze in a dropper lever. Also stuck with SRAM rear rotor.
Standard disc. Part mounts on top of disc.I'd guess if you elected not to run an AXS dropper, for how often you'd use the left switch, you could move it further inboard and have the normal space for a dropper.
No idea if the 6 magnets are part of a specific disk or if it's just a ring which mounts on the existing 6 bolt holes like other magnets. Would seem a bit wasteful to make it intrinsic to the actual disk. @Rob Rides EMTB Any pics of the disk/magnets ? or how it mounts ?
Looks like it only has Free Shift (SRAM calls it "coast shift") but not Auto Free Shift (which is the most useful feature IMO). EDIT: I suppose since you have full auto-shift then Auto Free Shift is implied but I actually don't want full auto-shift...Hopefully it can free shift like shimanos motor.
Correct. No need to run pod, can change modes on the top tube display button switch. But, you lose walk assist doing it this.@Rob Rides EMTB - Do you have to run the left shifter pod or can you use the controlled in the top tube to switch between assistance levels? I'm considering specing up a Propain and would like to save the £300 and get a non-RockShox dropper but don't really want to run two controls on the left of the bike.
