looks great, just needs 190-200mm front rear suspension, a 500wh battery range extender and we are good to go . Ill be switching to a gearbox bike in about 3 years, hopefully by then the moto brands have understood a bunch of us want dh ebikes lol. Husqvarna was actually on the right track with the 2021 extreme cross.

Not bad looking aluminum MGU eBike.
I’m hoping to trade my current 180mm-190mm Crestline in for a MGU Crestline in the future!…..guessing it’ll be 2-3yrs from now

Same thoughts here. Current whip is a 200 185 bastardised Cannondale that goes pretty good but a 630 battery running heavy dh tyres restricts rides to a little over 2hrs and 1200 metres but I guess It will have to hang in there another couple of years. I want a gearbox so bad. I love my Zerode with a Pinion but I have lost my enjoyment of climbing on an acoustic.

I hope future MGU’s are able to reduce the tensioner hanging down in the danger zone. Not ideal for the terrain I ride, which is the main reason I want a MGU…..My poor SRAM transmission gets so beat up.

Yes…….just not attached to a Bankrupted bike brand with delaminating rear swing arms(very sad to see happen)……which I was so extremely close to purchasing before my Crestline. It would have been cool to see the Voima with an MGU for sure.
I have followed your progress with your single speed belt drive Voima, will you be adding an internal gear hub?

Id rather have the tensioner at the rear hub.

Like the Rotwild? I’d smack that rear chain tensioner for sure.
