Many great bikes, but I live in the nowhere lands, which means no Mondraker, Norco, Lapierre, Orange, Transition or similar. Only represented companies are Cube, Merida, Specialized, Trek. Only one having good and reputable service is Specialized, guess what I ride? 😅
Ha!! Love the poke at Honda. Sometimes companies do a bit to much to be noticed... And I just became a Yamaha deals this month! I am so looking forward to what they will come out with. The YDX Moro and Moro lines are rad already!
given the prices of these e-mtb offers what should a person be considering when deciding between these or a no-pedals suron setup and a full enduro electric offering like ktm freeride? is it really just about the e-mtb offering being able to be used on more trails, for the time being given their attempt to pretend to still be bicycles?
No, you're absolutely right, it's heavier than that. The script was written a while ago when Whyte were quoting a weight in the 15kg range for the Works version, but it's actually 16.4kg. We neglected to correct it. Our bad.
We got one of the original Levo SLs down to 15.6kg (size large with decent tyres) but the Bosch system is heavier to begin with than the Levo SL motor and battery.
Still a rip off, over priced bikes as always considering they all mostly made or parts come from Asia due to cheap labor & materials then mark it up 1000%
I like the Fazua System, and the range and power are perfect for me. Also almost dead silent. I have the heckler SL and it rips! The Fazua App is useless garbage. My bike records double the mileage so if I ride 10 miles it says 20 and it’s not recording KMs but miles lol. So far the bike is flawless after 200 miles.
@@pebbleinspector well since you are likely an industry insider or perhaps and engineer, can you can tell me will it crap out at 500 miles on my app or 1000 then?
I don’t understand if you’re gonna get an Emtb go long travel. There’s no penalty for more comfort. Go 170 mm travel at the minimum.
💯 agreed.... 🎉
I'm waiting for Pinion MGU equipped bikes. Take notes Shimano/SRAM.
Santa Cruz... There can only be ONE

Would like to see a test ride on that Lapierre GLP 3
Anyone tried the commencal meta sx (Bosch)?
The norco will also have a longer travel version

yes
fun fact bosh 750whr battery is more like 36x20.1=723.6Whr battery and that's rated number, real life is less than that
What's the deal with Vitus? Are they still a company?
What about the Trek EXe?
It’s not a new bike though.
@@MBRmagazine New enough, damn it!
other brands should copy theintegration of the kiox-display on the lapierre
Honda
No RRPs!??? $$$
2:01 15kg for the E Lyte… are you sure about that?!

@@MBRmagazine I did wonder… that would be some achievement! Haha

👍🏼
I would love to know the weight of the Yamaha bikes😂
Still a rip off, over priced bikes as always considering they all mostly made or parts come from Asia due to cheap labor & materials then mark it up 1000%
And your point is…. Oh yea , you can’t afford one 😂😂😂
Agree….markup is insane….like 1,000 %

So have you actually ridden 100 miles?! 😂
Good question. Honestly I have no idea but my bike a says 398 miles so I’m guessing half haha!
Good for the ego, less good for the resale value!
@@MBRmagazine i wouldn't worry, when the motor fails the odometer will reset.

2024 i cant afford bikes
I'm waiting for Aldi to sell emtbs at this point 😂
I wouldn't buy one untill its cross platform.
Nox for me
We were impressed with Nox’s build-local strategy when we met them last year 👍
@@MBRmagazine amazing bike to ride. The weight and handling.
Yamahas e-bike is more than many of their motorcycles… ridiculous
