Other than Haibike does anyone make a stepthu EMTB? I am an old fart that lives in the mountains. While my single track and down hill days are pretty much over, I still love to ride the fire roads. I am starting to feel a little uncomfortable mounting the bike while rolling and my wife’s step thru is much easier but has minimal gearing and power.

Wissen Sie, Welche Fahrrader in den USA erhaltlich Sind?
 
Do you know who makes the Ketty the Tank? Which bike has more power?
It,s a 2024 double battery with tuned Bosch motor , near 30 kg, not for sale anymore , was round about 7900€
An M1 s with tq engine has 120nm , unluckily they are near to shutting down.
Someone say Dji is coming with a new 150 NM version BTW
Ubi maior minor cessat ....

Thanks, I was looking also for some specific info from Bull on their bikes.
 
Will we really see them this summer?
I have a refundable reservation on one. I missed demo day in January (wasn't paying attention to my email). April is target for the first batches. I'm hoping to get a demo beforehand and report on it's performance.

It certainly looks interesting but probably not for the 50+ miles we ride over mostly dirt, gravel or sand roads. We did an Astoria OR to Larkspur CA ride last year but it would have been easier in places with a more powerful and differently geared bikes. Oh we stayed in Hotels, ate in restaurants and carried clothes and spare bike batteries.

Most of these step-thru bikes have either a city bent, or short range touring bent, and have a compromised suspension because of the step-thru, and most importantly have a throttle. The TM-B does have switchable saddle framing, one of which has is made for offroad riding. There is also an option for a lower rise handlebar/steerer for MTB. I don't see why this bike couldn't handle fire roads and the things you mentioned. Marketing material shows shows riders hitting single track, but I doubt anything more than green or light-blue, but this can be taken with grain of salt as the TM-B (and most step-thrus) could be hardly be characterized as what we would consider an EMTB. The throttle is disabled in EMTB mode. But what the TM-B does have is 180NM of torque, with mostly dialed-in high-pivot anti-squat, so even at 80lbs it would easily beat any M1 Avinox bike off the line.

I will give it a hard look when it becomes available, thanks.
