How come the cube models never appear get a 750 W battery with a new Bosch motor car frame for 3000
The Yamaha Moro is also a great deal under 4k.
I need a link to that 2.5K haibike as I can't find it at that price … 😔
Power trumps weight every time. My mates on mid power bikes are under powered and have range anxiety. 🤷♂️
GCN in general should try to get bike manufactures to give a percentage of any sales used with an affiliate link.
I love my Fuel EXe. I'd love to have the Slash+ in my quiver
Genuine question- I thought the whole point in a high pivot idler wheel was to reduce pedal kickback on normal mtbs
When you turn the pedals backwards on an e-bike the chain doesn’t move. Doesn’t this eliminate the need for a high pivot design on a motor assist bike?
Am I missing something?
What size battery was that slash?
Can you please review the focus thron2
full fat ftw
the big thing I'm patiently waiting for is to see if manufacturers will move to belt drive/ gearbox-motors. less unsprung massage the rear, quieter drivetrain, less maintenance and best of all; no water problems with a motor filled with oil !
cheers
Great channel!! Can you guys review how a Garmin GPS interfaces with a Fazua Ride 60 e-bike? Given how they provide a very minimal display on an e-bike, I wonder if their Garmin Dashboard app picks up the slack? I ride a Turbo Levo Pro currently, and 95 percent of the time, my Garmin 830 is not needed with it since the bike has a decent built-in display. But it seems like a Garmin with e-bike stats displayed would complement a Fazua e-bike nicely.
The market for EMTB is highly tech driven, it's like buying any other tech, like a TV, computer or phone, if you want it, find whatever suits your need and wallet at the time and go for it.
If you wait for "the next update/iteration/version/sale" you're going to be on the fence forever.
Buy! Ride! Enjoy!
Then, in a few years, when we see 1200+Wh batteries paired with 150nm + motors, and a MGU that has regen seamlessly integrated with your ABS brakes, on bikes weighing in at ~16 kg, sell your old 50-60nm 20+ kg clunker, and buy that new shit!
Woo Hoo. Finally made it onto one of the shows! Loved the ride up Fan Y Big and the Beacon Beacons. Highly recommend 🍻
I was hoping for an updated motor for the new ebike Treks. I think that TQ is underpowered for the Slash.
The Trek Slash looks a fab, updated rig but I don’t like the price tags. Come on Trek we ain’t all got bottomless pockets full of brass!
I got my Cannondale Moterra neo 4 for £3,300. A bike that Cannondale retail at over £10k, but I've struggled to ever find any feedback on this bike from channels such as yours. Loving the bike, it's an absolute weapon for sure
I have thought long about the full fat vs the SL bikes. I had a full for a few years and eventually it started to feel like I was plowing through terrain instead of playing. Whenever I got on my regular bike it felt so much more playful and poppy. For that reason I am keen to try an SL bike. Hoping it delivers more of a bike feel just with a little extra to help on the climbs.
Giant Stance?
Full Power
Back in February I got my Cube Stereo 140 SLX for £3300. At the time the list price was £5300.
Really happy with it.
Why don't you guys do a program about the e bikes your camera people use, the range they get from the batteries, their ability to handle bike over rough terrain with heavy back pack on their backs.
You forgot to mention the YT Decoy core 1 for about $3,500 shipped.
The Radon Render 8.0 for €4300?
Mid assist 20kg? What’s the point
Full power all day long,
YT Decoy Core 1, $3,749 USD
Non-drive side rule doesn't apply on EMBN… we like to see the brake calipers and motor just as much as a drivetrain. Get with the program guys 😅
