I think the new Elite models are in a category of their own. Transition/Orbea/Specialized and Trek, light e-bikes have their niche, but I’d need two e-bikes to suit me. The Elite and the range extender should give me two bikes in one.

They’ve had removable 800wh batteries, 250wh range extenders for a couple years. And full suspension eMTBs at super low prices for longer. This new Trance Elite is in a niche no one is doing.

This will be a great bike for my riding. I do a lot of “power hour” rides before/after work. Then longer trail rides a handful of times a month. With fast motor tuning and option for 200wh range extender (or even two) this will do what I want out of a bike. This new cell Panasonic is...

I’m pretty sure you’d damage the battery on the Orbea setting that RS motor over the factory settings.

Blargh, tricky bastards!

I think it’s precisely what devices like the following link do: PLANET3 - mechanical e-bike derestriction device

The Dyname 4 uses three magnets on the rear wheel speed sensor. If a rider lost one magnet, wouldn’t that take the speed limit up 33.333% from the 20mph Class 1 limit?

PON owns Porsche

With PON Holdings now owning Fazua, I’d suppose some Fazua equipped Santa Cruz eMTBs are only a matter of time? Probably Cannondale and Focus, too.

Moving Heckler, Bullit, and whatever the EP8 RS lightweight eMTB (Tazmon?) to Darfon batteries seems like a good plan moving forward. Batteries from 300-ish to 720wh would allow assembling bikes to suit lower weights, or longer run time based on rider’s needs.

Any derestriction devices for Dyname 4 yet? So I can ride my private road stretches to my private SingleTrack on my private acreage. Just bumping up to 25mph along my private roads, which is the only place I’d ever ride a derestricted eMTB, would sure beat 20mph within my gated private trail...
