It's pseudo technical babble and not a tech rumor.

It isn't. Hikers aren't expecting bikes to be passing them uphill at almost 30MPH just like pedestrians aren't expecting cars to be passing them on the sidewalks.

That’s not a Bullit. I’m sorry, but companies need to stop recycling names from bikes with vastly different use intentions. The original Bullit was a budget friendly freeride weapon that was ridden to a podium at Rampage and thrashed in the woods by countless young mountain bikers coming of age with their friends and pioneering the sport. This is a generic e-bike that will be ridden by dentists with more money than fitness or sense. I understand e-bikes are here whether people (I and many) think they should be. But it’s a bummer to see something like the Bullit name...

butch is just mad because he's got exponentially more excuses than podiums.

I feel a lot of people haven't encountered Bizutch before. He is never wrong and your the idiot for thinking otherwise 😂

I bet this new Norco rides really well. But that aside, thanks what I hate about ebikes- suspension no longer matters, geometry, compliance, none of it matters anymore. The only thing that really matters is the powertrain and the brakes. People fret over things like the quality of the display, whether you can add overdrive to your older motor via a firmware update, etc rather than how the bike rides. Crappy climbing geometry doesn't matter since you can pedal seated with the dropper down. Descending geometry is less critical because the much lower CoG a motor+battery gives you makes up...

Vital is going to need to have SKUs for all the off topic and sideways rants that happen.

That's odd. https://youtu.be/W1-9iJFJmpk?si=bI291D9uVPcT5csr&t=1042
