Many ebikes sport a derailleur hanging out back to giver riders more flexibility than single-speeders. There are exceptions that combine gears with the motor, such as Pinion and Valeo. And now there's another, as Scotland's Intradrive system goes into pilot production.
It’s fun to watch Ebike’s move full circle, back to the little Europe peddle assist bikes of the 50s. Basically the electric versions.
Full gearbox, this is a little motorbike. And why not? Small motorcycles rock.
It makes no sense, go buy a motorbike insted
No. I like being able to carry mine up stairs, and put it inside.
You will likely have a hard time carrying ebike up a stair when they disregard weight and built with only power in mind.
I agree. These are now small motorcycles. I like it. If only they’d ditch the bike facade, and make them look cool. Style em up.
Could’ve just went full light motorbike though, instead of having a pedal no one will use, just dangling there. It look so silly.
