Are all e-bikes going to look like a Specialized? Loads already do!

Have you noticed how so many new 'lightweight' e-bikes look really similar? From the Whyte E-Lyte to the Specialized Turbo Levo SL, Cube Stereo AMS Hybrid One44, Cannondale Moterra SL, Canyon Neuron:ONfly, and Orbea Rise, seemingly every diet e-bike is sharing a very similar silhouette with the shock positioned under the top tube. And the reason for this is simple; to get both the battery, and the inevitable range extender, as low and central as possible. In this video Danny and Alan talk about why this is so important, and how it's narrowing the scope of designs. We also talk about the brands with suspension layouts that fall outside this box, and whether we may see them abandon their signature designs to optimise weight distribution and handling.

Very good video 📹 👍 👌 👏!!

@jeanmarc_in_Hudson Месяц назад

Interesting observations, designing bikes not that trivial! 👍

@lewiss66 Месяц назад

Hello , Are you sure that the power more can be installed on the Cube ONE55 ? I was told that Bosch do not accept to deliver the firmware modification on all the stereo hybrid ebikes equiped with the piggy back shock .

@MBRmagazine Месяц назад

Hmm, not sure to be honest. It’s the first we’ve heard of this but will look into it. 👍

@barryholt3526 Месяц назад

It's the need for a decent length dropper and a water bottle.

@nomad-pq4yw8iy7v Месяц назад

That last part about not needing a range extender that where's we're headed I think. Also what about a battery pack/ quick charger to quickly rechange the main battery in a way that doesn't degrade the battery more than the normal charge rate?

@govermentsoundsystem Месяц назад

Yep, I've been saying to my riding buddies for a few years, that our bikes all look similar 🤪

@romma11 Месяц назад

Range extender in place of water, for longer rides.... Got it makes total sense 😂

@davefreeman9347 Месяц назад

This theory may pass as battery technology improves look at the New Orbea Rise with an option of a 630Wh battery for the majority of riders that purchase that bike that will be more than enough surely 🤷‍♂️ without getting the available range extender.

@MBRmagazine Месяц назад

Yes, perhaps it will become less relevant with the next generation of batteries. Certainly, if they get close to 400wh/kg that will allow much more flexibility.

As an engineer and motocross/emtb enthusiasts. I've been sitting on this thought for 3+ years now. The fsr platform with a top tube mounted shock with an extension really is the most efficient packaging on an emtb. As I've told people for years. If you want to build a proper emtb. Copy specialized... 😅 I believe that like motocross bikes. Emtb will settle on what works and refine the design.

@MBRmagazine Месяц назад

Ha! If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Specialized must be permanently blushing!

@bostondye3736 Месяц назад

@@MBRmagazine definitely, thanks for the content 🙏

@markusilomaki8922 Месяц назад

So I guess we all have to go back and look at some of the first bikes like the Turbo Levo and SpectralON. 6 years later others are catching up 😊

@surfingmoose Месяц назад

You mean like a Commencal and other bike manufacturers that have been doing this for years?

@Maxi_Max Месяц назад

funny I thought the new Specialized looked like any other now

@tomquimby8669 Месяц назад

If Fox has to be advertised so much it makes me think that the better shock and fork manufacturers get by with word of mouth and don't need to be pushed so hard. SR Suntour on Isted's bike is one example, Ohlins is another.

@EMTB17 Месяц назад

Are you at you go ride fox and then go ride rock shocks. I guarantee you’ll go right back to Fox.

@tomquimby8669 Месяц назад

@@EMTB17 I tried Mc Donalds then Burger King. Both employ saturation advertising. Now I go local with a more discerning pallet. I ride Sr Suntour I don't feel the need to change.

@Eduardoramundo Месяц назад

Hopefully you have had that lump on your neck checked by a doctor?

@YorkshireEmtb Месяц назад

I had a lump like that....thank god I went straight to the doctors.....turned out I had second stage squamous cell carcinoma......6 weeks of radio and chemo, still here 12 years later , I had that at 36 years old.

@michaelscott6316 Месяц назад

Are all ebikes more expensive than motorbikes 🙄

@TheBrokenMountainBiker Месяц назад

Pretty much all new e-bikes look like a specialized! LOL

@tomquimby8669 Месяц назад

E mountain bikes , yep. Sensible ebikes don't need slack head angles.

@acelectricalsecurity Месяц назад

This is nothing new, I have said this for years, take the stickers off the vast majority of bikes and you wouldn't know which brand it was.

@SgtProstar Месяц назад

Cuz they are the same scammy bikes...

@EMTB17 Месяц назад

Well, then, I will definitely stop mountain biking because I would never buy a bike where the shock is hit to the top two. I’ve remember before, and the feedback that you get through the bike because of the position of the shock is absolutely horrid. Plus most single pivot or linkage driven single pivot should I say definitely done that way and those are not
