So I appreciate that my work commitments have somewhat delayed me in shooting further footage for the comparison video between the E22 and E10.
Nevertheless, I figured I'd take this opportunity to discuss 'some' of my findings so far which I'll touch up on in the video.
Handling & Maneuverability
As I've mentioned before, I
do not subscribe to the notion that one is the successor or predecessor to the next. Moreso, they are two different bikes. Designed to do near enough the same thing. However the method as to how they execute it, differs.
As such, both bikes (surprisingly) require the same amount of input when riding in mellow trails
Oh more aggressive trails.
Whilst I appreciate that the E22 does weight more than the E10 ordinarily, the weight distribution in terms of battery and motor remain in the exact same location on either frame.
Only the motor orientation differs, subject to the mounting requirements.
Granted, that's not to say that they ride similarly.
The Maneuverability between the two is somewhat different (again surprisingly), considering the rear ends are the same.
The best way I can explain without using visual aids would be, the E22 is heavier but lower. Thus, this allows the rider to engage with the platform at speed. Without the fear/risk of losing control.
The E10 is lighter but higher. Thus, the rider has to engage with the platform to fully maximize its effectiveness to ensure traction.
Hopefully, the above has made some sense but I'll elaborate on this point (amongst other points) in more detail in the video.
Future proof
In all honesty, both platforms are as future proof as each other.
Remember, both are using metrics rear shock standards compared to imperial. Both use boost hub spacing. Both use headset cup diameters which are quite common. Both use 31.6 seatposts and most importantly, both will require maintenance throughout ownership (no different from any full suspension emtb).
There is talk that Bafang will stop developing the M620 motor. This is indeed false!!!
Moreso, future iterations of the M620 will use the CANBus protocol. But the dimensions of the motors remains the same. Naturally, the M500/M600/M510 are relatively new so I doubt Bafang will stop production anytime soon.
The point being, regardless of which Frameset you buy or which ebike you own, you need not worry about whether the bike will be rendered obsolete.
I've often referred bafang owner to GBK (Green Bike Kits) for bafang bits and pieces. But Holland Bikes also sell Bafang components as well.
Hell, even Tredz has some Bafang components on their website
FSA Bafang M800 CK-603 E-Bike Crank Arms. Out of Stock. All E-Bike are delivered free to the UK mainland*, 365 day returns & Price Match.

So hopefully, the above has put some fears to rest.
Anywho, I'll wrap this post up here.
Take it easy everyone
With throttle it feels rly like a trail motocycle 
Melody said to try and source local, because its not worth sending because of the price of postage.
