Removable batteries just have too many compromises and only a small subset of riders really feel the need for them. The small weight savings between a 400 & a 600 wh battery would be eaten up by the additional mass of having a removable battery anyways. Worth noting, it's very helpful to a battery's life span to never fully charge or fully drain. So, if you 'need' a 400wh battery to complete your typical ride, a 600wh battery allows you to keep the battery between 20-80% charge at all times.

It's a shame there is no way to adjust the height of your handlebars.If you bike's stack is 10mm lower than you'd like you just have to put up with it.It's really unfortunate.

would it fit? : )

Coming soon! Vital Stables!

Given a long enough timeline, everything regresses to the mean (crab.)

Name a more annoying sound than an American complaining about ebikes. Honestly, we've all heard your opinions before. We know you have them. I don't really like or want an ebike either but there are 12,000,000 whingy comments online about how you're too pure or too dedicated or too fit or too angry at unskilled riders and you're mad about it. We don't need any more. Talk about the market or discontinuation of normal bikes, sure, but complaining about being passed on a climb track or peoples ass cracks is tiring af at this point. You've been yelling about it...

“Physical effort and reward.” Is different for different people. In my friend group, I was the last hold out to finally get an Ebike. I was definitely snooty about them for a while until I got to try one. You know what’s great about them? Time management. As I’ve gotten older, there’s even more responsibilities. Plus I move a little slower. This thing allows me to get a solid ride in at a third of the time, and I’m still tapped at the end of it. I just can’t dedicate a whole day to a ride anymore. Not to mention...

New Canyon Torque is out (in Europe). Replacing the Strive enduro bike. 180mm front and rear, mullet only. The pricing is pretty amazing… https://www.canyon.com/de-de/mountainbike/enduro-bikes/torque/

Gott damn, Dave Weagle sure does love his short chainstays! Also the increase of ~3.5mm per size is near pointless. And yes I know CS length will grow at sag.

I will never understand the “it’s a whole separate sport” thing. I ride my ebike exactly like my analog bike just do more laps. Literally every other person I know with an ebike does the same and is not going out and climbing up downhill trails in boost. I see plenty of e-bikes on the lift at the bike park being ridden like analog bikes. The innovation is happening in the motor and battery because the “bike part” of the tech has plateaued. Amflow proved this by making a decent riding bike out of thin air.

Be More Bikes prototype Bronson was showing off the fifth iteration of his prototype bike. It’s a wild bike designed to test the limits of geometry and amplify the benefits of their RR stem (made famous by Reece Wilson). You can find plenty of details about the goals behind the stem and bike on Instagram , but here are some details of the bike: Steel frame 500mm chain stay 445mm frame reach Reach to bar is ~350mm 100mm stem rise / -15mm stem reach Stem + bar back sweep puts handlebars ~40-50mm behind steering axis Custom drop crowns to accommodate...

Love those new Deity grips. Push-ons are king for comfort.

Hear me out: Mountain Bike!

If only someone made a linkage that allowed a longer shock to to be run on the Levo and it yielded 170 mm of travel. That would be wild.
