Newly Released eBikes and eComponents General

Thats the low step model, which is a good idea for someone who requires low standover. The regular AllTrails look normal(ish) ;)
Holy crap Batman!!

Is that for ladies (or anyone for that matter) with dresses that want to shred the trails or something?
Rapha is releasing the trail dress soon. Haibike is ready.
 
If your subscribed to Deviates newsletter a full fat high pivot mullet e bike coming next year. Pre orders will open via newsletter then a press release later. They can only sell as complete bikes due to regulations and UK, EU and Aus will be the first markets. Interesting to see what how it compares.
 
It is those fat approaching vertical looking downtubes. There isn't much that can be done to make that design choice look pretty.

Its nearly like they had 'must have' boxes to tick, 2 of them being -
  • Battery must be removable
  • Must fit 2 water bottles
Then shaped the bike around them. Not an aesthetically pleasing bike at all.

One bottle would have been fine and like a lot of others, motor removal to slide out the battery or side removal instead of the pregnant-hunchback look.

Cabling routing is also awful. After the awesome gutter on their other bikes the cable loops all over the place. I do like the modular dropouts. Maybe an email to Ben at Deviate to re-think the looks :p

The hidden in plain sight external is awesome, so easy to route cables.

I see Deviate is answering some comments on the PB link, though hasn't replied to the hideous or ugly comments yet 🤣

Yes, it is function over form and I should get my grumbling to get on that side.

I'm sure it works better than it looks but, geeez, I hope this trend somehow goes away. It might need to be balanced with some needless CNC alloy bits and Ti to level the beauty scales again :cool:
 
IMO 100% of full power eeeebs are ugly AF. This is not the worst looking one I've seen.

This Orbea looks nicer than most of them (although couldn't that brace thing have been parallel to the TT?).

But yeah, like the early awkward 29er days, fast forward another five years and everything will start looking a lot better.

The Amflow looks acceptable too, if a bit generic.
