I can appreciate your angle -- Raaw is focused on great riding bikes that are easy for the owner ride hard, put away wet and maintain and why wouldn't we want that with an e-bike? Make something more complex less complex for the average person. I think the issue arises with motors, batteries, etc -- I don't think they'll ever be as durable as a standard Raaw bike so you introduce complexities into a company that's built itself off of offering a less complex product. Then you increase operating coast because you have folks spending more time on R&D and...

Meanwhile I'm currently using my 170/160 bike as an XC bike because the hardtail isn't in running order lol. With reasonable tires (schwalbe super trail casing) and a weight conscious build (2kg Lyrik, 2kg wheelset), I honestly dont see much of a difference with the 150/135mm bike it replaced when it comes to climbing/flat stuff. I'd get a dedicated DH...

DH is a hard sport to watch because it’s too fast and subtle for the average viewer to get it all visually and the background is so much more complicated and distracting than F1 or moto or ski races, which are on neat clear tracks and it’s generally obvious when something happens. Been said a million times but it’s the announcing and cameras that are ruining the show. And I’m not picking on Ric because Rob and Claudio weren’t much better. Eliot Jackson was great. Neko and Gwin can be great when they aren’t being constantly interrupted. I’m a longtime...

Anyone have plans for replacement motors/batteries? Could do a core charge type thing where you buy a new motor for $1000, but send in the core and receive $500 back. Same for batteries. I think people (myself especially) are concerned about long term durability and finding replacement parts. I'd be happy to purchase a new OR refurb motor 5 years down the road. Get rid of lifetime warranties and just make replacement parts easy to find and buy.

OMG this took me too my emotionally hijacked self. I've been with my wife for over 20 years at this point (I swear I'm not that old, we just met young) and I've thrown a full blown temper tantrum meltdown 3-4 times in that time period. The biggest one was a similar story getting ready for a CES event at mammoth and trying to get the car loaded to head up there after a long day at work. I fought a tire and insert for 2 hours, also putting a hole in the tape, taking it all apart and starting...

Btw it's a business in Germany to found empty GmbH companies, that you sell to people if they need one really quickly—for example, https://www.foris.com/en/shelf-companies/se/ Could explain the random name (Mondstein 660 or so), early date and random person as shareholder/owner. Also, it was founded in Munich, and on that random website, which is literally the first in in google it says, "Our companies in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt/Main and Munich are ready for immediate takeover." Idk if it's the case, just throwing that in here.
