Nuthin meaner...

I think we might be lost in the weeds here

@coney: Same here - 3000 miles on the previous E2 model, the EP8 is holding up fine if a bit rattly, I try not to wash it at all :D I've tried Bosch CX bikes though and there's a huge difference in power delivery and battery life, I just don't know if I could get past the looks of this new model.

@lenniDK: I wouldn't be so stupid as to argue with a man who commented on an article about ebikes that he didn't like ebikes.

And yet, no problem using the all-electric internet to foist your tiresome opinions on us. Enjoy your hand sawing, hand drilling, hand sanding and any other arbitrary rejection of technology of your particular choosing, we won't judge.

If they could have stuck a Bosch in the existing frame, even if it limited the battery capacity, it would have been a win over this... CaseMobile.

It's a tad agricultural, presumably there's a Marin plough attachment coming out soon.

If the previous model at ~26kgs is anything to go by, a bit more timber will only make it more planted. Absolutely brilliant bikes for the money, no issues making them leave the ground when you want to either.

Brilliant win at FW, keep it going!

@oldsam: Agree, London is a great place to live (Free Market Proof : the price of a pint), lots of great spots to ride bikes. All this negativity about the UK from the Land of the Free is just the usual lazy thinking, regurgitated FB nonsense. Those of us in the UK thinking this or that place is doomed or full of scumbags or whatever: Do something about it. Our current attitude to public spending and wealth means there are haves and have nots, nice places to live and rough places to live and inevitably people who find crime more lucrative than min wage. And if that's too liberal for your tastes, then accept that crime will always exist regardless of how upset the "bike thieves must die" windbags get on PB comments. MK isn't a terrible place, nor is Fort Bill and lots of bikes have gone walkies there. It's horrible for the mechanics who lost their toolkits, Asa who lost a WC winning bike and for a small outfit to suffer this setback one brilliant race into the season. Thankfully no one was hurt. Stuff can be replaced. Their merch ships to the UK for a very decent price.
