Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
I generate 1.2kw most mornings heading up King St in the Sydney CBD. Muc off dry and rock and roll work just fine.

Has a juicy midrange
Given that they use normal rear hubs, yes they freewheel like any unassisted, non-fixie bike. What is different is that when you backpedal only the crank spins backward, not the whole drivetrain, due to the clutchy sort of engagement between the drive unit and crank spindle, and chainring mounted to the spindle, not the crank.
By extension, when you're using the walk assist function, make sure your legs are clear of the crank, because it will smack you in the shin as it pedals itself if you're not careful!

Check this out!! Converts ANY bike to an E-bike!
Also, if I'm not mistaken, that picture looks to be a full suspension, 6" tyred, fat, e-bike. I almost whip lashed recoiling from it.

I really like the idea of the paradox, not too sure on the paddle throttle though. So, the bikes just keep getting cleaner and not so chunky, Treks just come out with new models

That is cool. Finally they send a decent spec version here to Oz.
Flow has a review up too: https://flowmountainbike.com/tests/new-trek-powerfly-first-impressions/

I'm aiming at when I'm 50, so 2 years time for me, I'm sure by then shit will be sorted and at a pricepoint that i will slap down a credit card and buy up....
Just bought a new bike after 5 years and so I reckon the wife will let me in another 5.
Haibike 2019 range announced and looks like they have developed their own motor. Bikes also incorporate front and rear lighting into frame (for nighttime) and better onboard computer. Looks like they are really pushing into new territory.

Hey man I'm 45 you are making me feel bad. I have several bikes so I don't think e bikes are necessarily a replacement - just something different. My Haibike is good fun though. Looking forward to some warmer weather and cruising into work again.

Hehehe , I’ve for “enough bikes “ according to my partner / wife / girlfriend / bosslady .
But - I want ......need a new one ?
So it’s new bike choices - mate has a Haibike and it’s pretty good , I really like the Focus Sam ,the new Trek powerfly has raised the bar .
However a Specialised Levo is prob where my head / heart comes together .
All versions of the above are reasonably priced for the spec and technology included .Not sure that the premium brands prices will drop - but the tech will defo get better esp battery .
And I think the tech from Eurobike will start to appear on and in our bike shops .
The e-bikes will also reinvigorate the standard bike shop model - I hope ......
Exciting times . Next 6-12 months will be interesting

By rewarding shitty bike shops with lots of custom? I hope not.

Nah , Good shops are Good .
My feeling ( which may just be piss and wind ) is that due to the slightly more specialised nature of the e- platform the cream will rise to the top and be rewarded by a consistent satisfied customer base .
However at present as society we embrace shit service and support as being 'the way it is ' So the more lazy no fuck given rubbish shops continue to survive .
In my recent looking for a new bike ( which will cost as much as a vehicle ) whether requiring me to do all the work or assisted - I have met some true dickheads and arrogant cocks .
Any Push bike , Bicycle is not "Cheap" , most are at the upper end . I am not looking for a reach around , but would like a small fuck given .
Shit shops will still be Shit till they go broke .

Yep - we accept shit service all round. Our political leaders are the best example. Paid by and elected by us but they don't listen to anything we say. And we keep rewarding them at election time be re-electing.
