WOW how good are all these ebikes looking? which would you be going for? I'm loving the Cannondale!

@rickbault1221 2 ай бұрын

Speaking of range on the new bikes, I'm happy with my Levo 700WH battery. I've used it all up in one day before but honestly I was done before it was at 20%

I rode the e160 lite on Monday, what a fantastic bike it is. Compared to my e160 9000 it's like night and day, motor performance is superb and the new longer slacker geo makes it a true enduro machine now. The old bike was great, but this new bike is next level.

I like very much the new Cannondale. We are almost "there", where the super light bike and the full power merge together. But, like u said, a range extender would be welcome. And i would add that i would prefer a removable battery, even if it cost a couple pound of weight penalty.

@SamsBikes 2 ай бұрын

Yes mate I want this bike and the colour ways are dope!

@jenswinkelmann6666 28 күн бұрын

I ‘d love to know the info on each bike if the battery is removable as I need to charge it externally. For me a go/no-go criteria. Otherwise thanks for the short introduction of the new bikes. They look fantastic and great to see more and more bikes below the 20kg threshold.

@romma11 2 ай бұрын

lower battery pack capacity not necessarily means less weight - at least significantly speaking; typically lower capacity pack will use same number of cells (where bulk of the weight is) but at lower energy density per cell which means little less lithium in them which is matter of grams/ 10s of grams.

I completely agree with you mate on the internal battery of the new e-160. I found out yesterday about this new bike and when I started reading the Merida promo they talk about about being 2 different bike one light weight and one with lots of range. I think 600wh it's a lot of battery, like you said it could have a smaller battery 400-500 that would do a 2-3hr ride and offer the extender if you want a longer ride. But still it looks like a killer bike, one that I would consider trading my previous e160 for. I just don't know if I want an "SL" type of bike or a full fat. I only ride in trail and love the natural feel of the EP8, but sometimes I think I should ride an SL as I don't need all the power most of the time, but then again is good to have it available when you just want to smash a few laps and get to the top quickly... If the new e160 was around/below 20kg it could have been the perfect of both words for me.

@SamsBikes 2 ай бұрын

Yep 👍 they could of smashed the market wide open with a 450wh internal and 300wh range extender

@marcusoutdoors4999 2 ай бұрын

For me a Merida 160 with a 600 watt battery and a 360 booster would be spot on. Most days 600 watts would be enough, but 500 watts simply isn’t. But a 300+ watt booster battery is amazing especially as you carry a second one in your pack. As for internal suspension… nope, just looks hard to service and adjust.

@SamsBikes 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment mate I see your point maybe your right haha and yes for me I think it’s a no for internal suspension as well

Oh god yeah must see the suspension! Can also imagine that'll be quite a nightmare on the trail I actually like the Gen 3 look of ebikes I like to see the motor aswell on the new one's the older gen 1 and 2 when the frames were a huge bulge around the motor and the motors tilted up towards the down tubes I didn't like that look now there level the frames are alot nicer

Every year, new batteries, mounts, chargers, motors which are obsolete in 2/3 years. So much e waste generated by the e-bike industry- like where mobile phones were 15 years ago. Need to agree a standard, The same goes for e scooters.

@jimsteinway695 2 ай бұрын

TQ is helping standardize things with a bunch of bikes using the same TQ motor. I’ve had 2 ( warranty returned-not the motor) and I’ve been really impressed with my trek Fuel EXe. I don’t think tq is going anywhere so I’m excited about it. It’s so quiet and lots of power when I need it. But overall I agree with you.

@Silverbeardedsurfer 17 күн бұрын

From the comments I've seen most moaners can't afford one anyway. Certainly not buying a new flagship model every year. If more people ponied-up the price would come down. Just stop drinking alcohol and you'll quickly afford one.

@markgriffiths409 17 күн бұрын

@@Silverbeardedsurfer My comment was not about affordability 😆, everyone in the late 90’s 2000’s had a mobile 📱 but until they standardised chargers, and batteries there was SO MUCH E waste! This is what is happening with the emtb industry (I have one btw), batteries, fittings, sizes, connections and chargers. My point was about the generation of unnecessary “e waste”.

I remember the big deal they made when Shimano bought the ep8 out and it had all the mounting points in the same location as the old gen motor, all the bike manufacturers did a big F you and didn’t support the upgrade!
