Can't wait for good bb drives to get cheap. Well, cheap ish. I'll never be able to afford the frames they put em on new. Could easily be 20 years before this stuff gets stolen and shows up at my local flea market.

Nice to see some quality electric, DH frames. Hopefully with mass production and competition, these gems will be within reach. For now we are stuck with DIY stuff.

There were tons of sick reports of bikes from Eurobike last year, but I still haven't seen any of them to market.
Nevertheless, SUCH AWESOME BIKES!

Unfortunately I think the market for them is still abroad. US seems way behind in ebike interest. I have noticed a couple more ebikes riding around this year, but it's still a rare sight for me to see them.

Every time i see these "Bling box's" it makes me admire the derailleur system even more !..
Simplicity,
functionality
weight
cost
ease of maintenance
flexibility ( frame fitting)
These guys have lost the plot.. !

Every time I see one I wonder when the Chinese are going to take the hint and get on the stick with some cheap gearboxes for ebikes. Just 3 speeds with a 2:1 range would suit me fine instead of the 18.
The bikes are getting better every year. Too bad they're priced so silly, but we can't expect that to change until control is wrestled away from pedalists.

Leaving aside the stock electric version.... the plain version would make a useful platform for a non-hub conversion (pity it isn't cheaper...).

They made the mistake of unvaling it before entering it in the Tour de France
Seriously doubt many would sell, anyone after this style of bike would be into lycra
and pedal only competition, damn nice lookin' ride though...

This is the production version of the "other" MIT hub motor. Battery and controller within the hub.. That's why it's so big...Hillhater said:
