 Lemme make it clear that I don't like the fact that e-bikes will be part of the future. I earn my turns in a state where shuttling and bike parks are common place (one degree removed from e-bikes). I'm just merely pointing out that it is happening and there is nothing that the "purists" can do about it. To my horror I just saw the specialized lineup and boom, there it was!

 As trails become more and more pussy, riders are rewarded for doing more and more basic things, jumps get smaller, obsticals become rarer, yes this is the future. No need for bb hight, as there's no roots or rocks to catch on anymore. Padded seats because there's no reason to stand up off the saddle anymore either. I predict suspension will disapear soon too. As will dirt, replaced with concrete paths that have been coated with hand sanitizer and a spray of febreeze for that final touch.

 Actually, jokes aside, the rear wheel axle's 188mm is very well for symmetrical hub's flanges placement and for the spokes' lengths.
This is what should be done far long ago.
Of course for this lenght the diameter should be bigger to have same rigidness(or more) I'd wanted it to be L:188mm x OD:24mm x ID: 12mm hollow.
