First I'd heard of this. Maxxis EMTB tyres.

$130 for an Assegai is ridiculous. People stop paying this for tyres!

Yeah, I read it after I posted it. Thats mental.

I can't see why there is a need for EMTB specific tyres.
Weight? There's far more weight difference in the rider than the bike.
Speed? Your top speeds are downhill, and you can go just as fast on any bike.
Torque? Yes, there's a lot more torque under power but it's the braking force that has the most impact on tyre wear, so not really any different to a normal bike.
A lot of the Ebike specific components are BS!

To reduce wear from all the extra KMs E riders are racking up.

Do they cost more? That decal has gotta be worth $50.

Yep, the only differences are a decal and higher profit margins.Do they cost more? That decal has gotta be worth $50.

An ebike weighs 8-9kg more than a normal bike. Works like a 80kg man and a 90kg man riding the same bike, does anyone care about the heavier rider. What if the rider is 120kg vs 60kg.
The only part of an ebike that needs beefed up is the drivetrain, up to 500-600w extra watts peak, 250w constant then add the rider input. The chain and cassette get absolutely mangled and that's without riders shifting under power and further destroying it.
The speed-pedalecs that UK/Europe get that do 45kph, may need a speed rated tyre but they run road tyres, not Assegais.
The rest of this e-optimised fluff is all nonsense.

Yep, dead right.
If the tyre couldn't handle 50kph you would really have to worry.

SRAM Goes E-Biking - Eagle Powertrain Deep Dive
In the land of e-bikes, there has long been a major player missing from the market. While nearly every other category is ruled by the two big S's of our industry, one has precariously sat by the wayside while others take on the electric assist world. But just like head angles continuously...

custom titis
Its a Brose motor that integrates the drive train as part of the system - the tech is pretty cool but stupid at the same time - You will be locked into proprietry systems as things break etc - Like the chain ring can be spun by the motor to change gears whilst you are going down hill and not pedaling so when you need to pedal its in the right gear for that - Essentially you are not supposed to change gears by your self ever again - you set how much the system changes and then it does it all.
Like I said the Tech is pretty cool but stupid at the same time.
