O-chain on a Rise

[Tribanas]

Hello fellow Rise owners.
I am considering upgrading my Rise with a O-Chain chain ring.
Any of you already did that? Any considerations on the compatibility and instalation?
Here is info on that product for any one that dont know it : TOTAL ABSENCE OF PEDAL KICKBACK — OCHAIN MTB ACTIVE SPIDER

Stay healthy!

Is this even relevant on an ebike?

Yes, it is.

On an enduro or downhill bike they have benefits. Almost wasted money on a ebike unless your having huge pedal kickback issues. Most motors have a freewheel at the crank spider so their chainring works similarly to the o-chain

on normal bikes you have a freewheel too in the hub. and in motors you have one or two freewheels. but all these freewheels have the same "problem". when you stop paddeling the freewhell stops at a certain point. and if this point is exactly the point of contact of the ratchet then you have kickback.
yes o-chain is similar to a freewheel with ONE important difference. the four springs inside turn the o-chain the farest away from the contact point every time you stop paddeling. so o-chain makes a difference on an ebike too.
only when you're hard on the paddle you get kickback, but that is on a normal bike with o-chain the same. i have ridden the o-chain on an ebike and it makes a difference.
