macribs said:@Team Neematic is there any public release day sat? I mean when will you present the bike in all its glory for the public and list the specs?
Have you sat a date for when this bike will be available to purchase? Are you going to market this year? Or will bike geometry, component sourcing, design choices and what not for sure make it hard for you to start selling this bike this year? A little more info on your web/face/insta would go a long way. With this little info it is almost impossible to make up the mind to trust your ideas to materialize into an actual buyable product, or to have a more skeptical approach not getting excited before the bike is designed, manufactured and ready to be bought , or turn into vaporware altogether.
You are upping the bare so much on this build both in terms of power, motor placement and quality parts I really hope you will make it into production, but I fear the bar is sat too high so you wither wont be able to prevail according to your own claims, or that you will have to make drastic changes to the specs to meet a price point people actual can afford to commit to. I mean the m55 e-bike is a nice bike. But not for regular people. A stealth Bomber is also nice, and could be have by most people if people prioritize the bike. I hope to see Neematic in the latter group. Still opting for quality parts.

+1 to this ^^-Bugsy- said:Hi Justinas - great project. Excited to see it come to production.
You mentioned it hopefully coming at half the price of a M55. That is still full RRP of a Ducati.
Would you guys consider releasing a frame, motor,rear wheel combo here? Call it a Developers kit.
Imagine all the test configuration and riding this community could do for you guys. The feedback and development that could occur could fast track your RnD by years. Costing you nothing!
Look. I know it's your baby and your looking for full control over the project. but consider the open source model of business and volume production benefits of your proprietary gear. Place your businesses emphasis on the stuff they YOU make and let the market pick their batteries and bicycle components.
Cheers

Some pointers i would like to address from my perspective. If the price if around half of that M55, i would loose cheap chinese voltmeter and other cheapish switches/controlls.
macribs said:Neematic, ready to share more details?
And I hope to see a video any day now

too bad i already have too many bikes and can't afford another one. but if i would buy one, it for sure would be one of those!

nutspecial said:The other pics look more like an 8" rear to me- so possibly to be determined, as the jackshaft should be tunable for optimal final gearing (and physical size). The motor doesn't look like an outrunner. . . .?

Indeed, the sprocket is yet to be determined, we wanted to try the bigger one for the torque. It is outrunner now, working on in-runner alternative
