My LBS is a Marin dealer, and tells me that Marin is coming out with a shorter travel ebike platform than their Alpine Trail E. Marin makes very well-specced bikes for the money, but the Alpine Trail E is a bit of beast, 55 lbs with coil shock, slack head angle, and 27.5+ rear wheel. I’m an old guy looking for my first ebike who rides a lot of tight NE trails, so I’d prefer something lighter and quicker handling. The current Marin website has no info on any e-bikes other than the Alpine Trail E, so I’m wondering if anyone has any information on what Marin might be cooking up. Maybe something based on the Rift Zone platform?
