The much less expensive aluminum version of the Trek Domane+ also has a different motor which is a hub motor. Instead of the TQ mid-drive motor. So it’s not just the different frame material accounting for the very significant difference in price.
I saw an aluminum version of the Domane at the bike shop. It is quite heavy. Can’t imagine pedalling without the motor. I rented a bike with a rear hub motor on a trip and it throws off the weight balance a bit. In corners the weight in the rear wheel is definitely noticeable. It’s odd. Not my favourite. On a straight line or uphill the rear hub motor was fine.
Can you focus on E-road bikes that festure the TQ motor. I have been riding e-road and e-gravel bikes since 2019. Lately, manufacturers have “ lumped “ gravel and road into one bike. I would prefer a separate road( tarmac) and gravel ( non-tarmac surfaces). I am at the older end of avid cyclists at 76 years old. I use the power assistance for steep, long hill climbing to help manage my cardiovascular requirements. Only need the assisted power of class 3- max 28 mph when my younger friends want to ramp up speed on the flats. I would like to see a blend of costs savings with choice of mechanical vs electronic shifting, medium price carbon frames and carbon wheels. Would love to read your thoughts. Thank you…..
Speed at which the power cuts out needs to be increased - like it is in the US. 15.5mph for a road bike seems pointless. Class 3 28mph would be more like it.
They are pedal assist. That means the rider always has to pedal to get assistance. Unlike a motorcycle there is no throttle to make the bike go forward without any rider involvement.

Yes, the TQ mid-drive is a much more desirable motor.
The specialized Creos are just more bike for your money than the Domane+ series. You can't even get a mid-drive Domane+ until 8K.
@@Gamebreaker08 what is intrinsically better about a mid-drive vs. rear hub motor?

These e-bikes are hideously expensive. Bike manufacturers really need to bring down the cost of these bikes. Or someone else will do it for them.
Since e-bikes are not UCI legal, the manufacturers don't have to stick to the standard frame shape?
These videos are always very well written.
How does a Yamaha Wabash RT compared to these bikes
Thanks
The only e-bike that interests me is the cargo bike.
Are the batteries for eRoad bikes replaceable at EOL?
Yes
wtf is an acoustic bike?
😂 it’s what these guys call a regular un-motorized bicycle…to be funny I guess…
Lol - one moment he's saying analogue the next acoustic!!
When it comes to bikes, he's brain so anti digital, it's fallen to bits!
A road bike with a Bell
@@blackxybone6357 end😉
It’s unplugged?
Title should be, "eBikes you can't afford!"
@17:12 Acoustic! That don't sound right.
😂
Quite informative, but why is everyone talking like this on videos? Does my head in, I couldn't watch it all the way through, ha.
Doesn’t discuss range speed power anything important. I hope to never watch another one of your vids again
No Thanks,,Muscle Power Only!
Learnt nothing from this video besides a summary of marketing material
They not sale road bikes. They sale motorcycles with options to pedalling
Correct. It's sick that people want to replace the bicycle with these things.

Useless video. You don't mention how fast the bikes can go or far. Just a waste
This guy creeps me out. 🤮
