I’ve seen that IBIS appear to have seen sense with the re-release of the OSO, slashing the original RRP by half.


Looks a lot of bike for the money, and includes a headlight and tail light.

very much a marmite looking bike. And potentially quite heavy.

I don’t think it’s in the market yet and little review data available, albeit Gen 1 seemed to review ok.

I like the geo, wondering how flex or not is the fixed rear arm, and the bike is actually a deal killer. Top value for the money.

And sorry to add this, but i really wonder why they didnt go the Dji way ... Killer geo (and adaptive), integrated battery, top motor ... sometimes, i wonder WTH bike brands smoke.

The reviews would be exactly the same as the Gen 1, there’s barely any updates. They swapped to the newer controller in the top tube, added the wireless bar remote and made the frame slightly stiffer in a few areas to help with the flex. It’s still a good deal if you can get over the looks though.

I think more e-bikes should come equipped with headlights & tail light wired to the battery! I’d rather have it & not need it, than to need it & not have it!
 
Pretty sure this bike has the old Gen 4 motor/battery, which explains the price slash.

Unfortunately that’s correct. Looking forward if and when IBIS will release a new full power emtb.
