    Lighter e-bikes with lower rolling resistances like the bike in your video would make good touring platforms IF there were a convenient way of adding multiple batteries in a touring bag in the back with convenient wiring harnesses. Manufacturers need to start adding ways of conveniently daisy chaining of batteries so that using and recharging multiple batteries is simple. Flat ground ranges need to be upward of 200 miles to begin with to be ok for touring due to the excessive battery drain on uphill days.

    On the bike, I like it but while I understand the idea of the dot matrix screen (should work better than a LCD in sunlight) at that price I want a better gear system than an old Shimano derailleur.

  • @BoulderHikerBoy
    @BoulderHikerBoy 4 месяца назад +1

    The fingerprint unlock is kinda nice. Not super thrilled about the chain on the pro version. And, while the frame looks cool, there will surely be some tradeoffs in the forms of no place to attach a cafe lock, limited braze-ons for bottles, nothing to keep long clothing from brushing into the rear tire. I can't tell from the imagery but I wonder if this frame can take a trailer hitch. I see, though, that they fixed the seat post problem from the base version, though the range will still be limited. It also looks like it'd be impossible to swap out handlebars or light. But the price point is pretty good for a bike with GPS tracking and its other security features. I am also generally of the view that any bike aimed at commuters needs a belt or else a chain guard. But I'm weird like that. As always, Eilis is a delight.

Enjoyed the crazy angle shots of you being hot, you look like you were poured into that outfit. Anything missing? Well, for £3K no bell?!! Bluetooth speaker- hmm, ruin everyone else's day with my choice of music at 100 dB- absolutely. The dot matrix was a printer format in the 80s and it was rubbish then, not sure that time has improved it. How about a nice firm waterproof phone mount instead??! Great review, looking forward to the next.
