I see noise comparisons with Shimano and Bosch, but what about the Brose? Mine has been pretty quiet, though it has started to make a new (very quiet but noticeable) hum in the past couple of days.
Come on now....
A bold claim. I'd like to know the make/model of the cells used before taking that as gospel. Theres not exactly a plethora of top-end cell manufacturers out there.
All the mid drives coming out before Specialized rumoured bike hmm -
Pre-emptive strike, possibly.
yeah it has me stumped
The TQ pack is rated at 50.4v, 6.8Ah and 360Wh and 1.83kg.
Off the electrical specs I'd guessing that is a 12s2p Samsung INR21700-50E pack. not much else makes sense.
50E is 69 grams and 17.64 Wh.
BUT form factor suggests otherwise.
And the 50E is a very popular cell. I would be surprised if no other ebike manufacturers were using it.
I could be wrong but I dont see these low power ebikes being around for long. I imagine the the rail will outsell this 5 to 1, I just dont see too many customers choosing this over the rail with all the power and range for a 10lb weight trade off. The trick is going to be getting the full fat ebikes lower weight, not offering these half measures that really arent all that desirable.
No, It's a 14S2P pack, because the maximum voltage is 58.8V in the User Manual!
Well, I thought I seen it for 6 years when I did a quick check but can't find it now so it probably is just 2 yearsReally? Got a link?

Under powered and over priced. Not sure what the attraction is with this "new face of eBiking'. Going further with lots of grunt is the whole point of eBiking in my opinion.
No more than a strange marketing experiment far from the real goal of eBikes weighing as much as analogue bikes (or close) with more power and distance than current eBikes.
The goal is a while away yet though and based on how pricing is going up with cost like 20K (With Deore).
Its like 13K here in New Zealand though! Ridiculous considering its capabilities.
I'm being cynical but this is just a carrot for the crowds who are wanting a bike that looks normal so they don't get shit talked out on the trail.
They will buy a proper ebike soon after. Trek is laughing all the way to the bank.
Once again it depends what you are after in a bike. I find full powered Ebikes heavy and cumbersome while my SL is although still heavy compared to a normal bike, it still has a more nimble feel, I can bunny hop over obstacles, I can move it around in the air, it's doesn't feel like I've pulled the brakes on when I hit the 25kph limiter and when I run the battery flat, it's no chore to ride unassisted.Under powered and over priced.

My LBS already has 5 orders since launch(compared to 6 rails sold this whole year)
It's boring and a bit cold when riding with unassisted friends
I'm not riding with anyone that fast, but we're regularly in the top 10% in Strava. I'm probably the slowest in the group, but I can keep up on my regular bike. Like I said, give it 10 years and I'll probably want an SL to stay with the pace, but not just yet.thats where the SL comes in, with fit frens, on trail mode, its a great workout and you would be tired out. i ride with national level riders, the type of ppl who come in podiums in races all the time, and a SL is perfect to chase them.
2014 will be the next big leap in emtb technology , the perfect emtb will be the same weight as a normal bike, it will have a 3nm motor powered buy 3 triple AAA Duracell batteries, it will look exactly like a normal mtb and be indistinguishable from the real thing, you will have to work hard for your satisfaction but it will feel so natural .Under powered and over priced.

"Is the Trek Fuel EXe a Stepping Stone" hmm, not got quite the same ring to that YouTube video titleIt's not a "game changer", it is a stepping stone - nothing more.
I think you might need to start hitting the gym .when i got my bike id have thought buy now i could get a batt the same size with double the range but it has gone backwards with even bigger batts and frames and more waight.
i want a 15kg bike that can go 50miles going 50 mph
