The Ltd has the lower fork offset

Insert _______ company here. Everytime I see an ebike edit like this they use some ripper, with gobs of style stick them on some ebike and their energy/style looks like it’s zapped from them as fast as the stupid graphics put in the add.

So sad but it’s likely true.

Out of all the brands that once made DJ frames I never would have thought Marin would be one of the hold outs. It also looks good!

Fuction and form are are going to be forever tied to vehicles of any kind. The rear battery isn’t the one that kills me it’s the fork. Fox has had the two threaded holes in the arch of their forks for a long time now, so that part is nothing new. With that same mounting point a small fender and integrated dongle (orientated 90*) would make a huge difference in aesthics and most of all function giving protection to what I’m sure is a delicate plastic piece. Missed opportunity in my mind.

I have used di2 and it shifts great! But to me it’s hard enough to ride sometimes not to have the opportunity foiled by batterys needing a charge. And look at all the clutter it adds. I’m sure that’s why they picked Scott bikes to showcase it, normal Scott owners and dealers wouldn’t even notice.
