A Spanish entry into the pedal-by-wire Motor Transmission Unit (MTU) / MGU space. Similar in concept to the Rivian/ALSO TM-B. Less power (105NM) but more compact. I much prefer having the TM-B approach of having pedal and output sprocket on separate spindles, allowing for a concentric high-pivot...

There's been a whole lot of reviews discussing the performance superlatives of the M2S motor, as the flagship successor to the M1. Yet there's been pray little chatter about the base M2 motor. It seems even the base model of a number of bike makers only offer the M2S, and those few that do...

I’m planning to make the pilgrimage to Sea Otter this year. Last year I beheld the first enduro Avinox bikes to hit the market (Forbidden and Unno). This year, things seem to be a little thinner on the EMTB front, compared to Eurobike, but there are some bright spots: Amflow will be in...

An interesting and curious addition to say the least. Besides the eye watering price and that only 25 of them can be had, there are some tidbits here worth noting: Bloody thing has 195mm of rear travel with a straight seat tube You really have to squint to see this is actually a FP EMTB...

So it appears that Leo is finally taking covers off what he's been working on and more importantly perhaps a reveal of the resurrected Pole brand itself. In some ways, what we see here is not that surprising if one has been following the Pole FB group and YT vids and his clear obsession with...

This is play on the the Anyone miss their old non Emtb?? thread. In this case, I think the EMTB timeline arc is old enough that maybe some folks may look back to the days of prior owned EMTBs they no longer have; have broken down, or otherwise parted with. Looking for those harking back with...

https://www.pinkbike.com/news/sram-patent-reveals-design-for-an-integrated-12-speed-motor-gearbox-unit.html Just a placeholder to discuss this. Will loop back later with my thoughts.

https://www.pinkbike.com/news/rivian-spinoff-introduces-transcendent-mobility-urban-emtb.html This is an interesting development. Though a stretch to cast it as an EMTB, there is a lot going on tech-wise that could have and impact in our sport and force a rethink on how EMTBs can evolve...

Fresh off the press from a competitive EMTB network, it's a bit ridiculous (though not surprising) just how may new DJI EMTBs have flooded Eurobike. So much so, the distinguished prestige awarded to the DJI Crestlines, Forbiddens, and Unno's may soon wear off in a sea of other svelte boutique...

I’m starting to worry a bit about motor gearbox unit (MGU) uptake in the EMTB market. EMTBs have been a significant growing segment of the MTB space for a decade now and nothing seems to be stopping it, especially with more powerful yet compact motors and battery tech coming out as of late. We...

My original hometown and foothills trail stomping grounds are up in flames and the devastation is still ongoing. While I've been safely perched on rain-soaked soil and green hills of the Bay Area that has been my home for decades now, I'm swept up by this travesty just the same. All that rain...

In the last year there has been a surge in use of anti-pedal kickback components to provide significant improvements in suspension feel, travel utilization, chain slap, and overall pedal kickback reduction on MTBs (mostly downhill bikes, but trending into enduro), especially on bikes that don't...

Starting this thread for Pole EMTB owners who will now have to deal with support, parts availability, repairs, etc. now that Pole appears to no longer be a going concern as a business in its current state. My guess is that most owners will continue to own and enjoy their existing bikes into the...

Looking for opinions and personal experience using race or trail axles and what kind of riding style you do that may reinforce one preference over another. And would like to know if riders are planning to swap axles and if buying a motored Pole, which axles are you choosing and why? In...

Update: Above image says it all. Taken without permission from V86. A number of people in this forum are expressing interest in some form of internal geared transmission system integrated with Pole EMTBs, whether it be new-fangled motor/gear units (MGU) or hub-based integration with a secondary...

And they made off with your 2nd Gen Specialized Turbo Levo Expert as well. You have homeowners insurance and are ready to file a claim. So… What should I replace them with? Like-for-like or should I branch out? I was very fond of my Voima, but now the S-Onni beckons to replace the Voima...

While this fresh off the CNC machine new beast from Pole is by no means an ebike, it strikes some interesting lines and design cues that could hint at what a full 200mm travel Voima could potentially look like. And it's a mullet!. No Sensei, and I would wager that that anti-rise would be...

There is a good possibility the a few sizes will be available to check out. For those not sure about size or just want to fancy one in the CNC flesh and happen to be within travel distance of Monterey, CA for the next few days may, this could be a great opportunity. Bosch will also be there for...
