This sounds like the least efficient way to time a race from a computing perspective, I guess it's a good thing they are building all of those data centers...

6 Takeaways from Eurobike 2026: Chinese Innovation, eCVTs, and the Changing Bike Industry
@Shannyla: Maybe it's because European E-bikes or Pedelecs are speed limited to 25 KPH (15.5 MPH).
Here in the land of freedumb Class 1 E-bikes are limited to 32 KPH (20 MPH) and Class 3 are limited to 45 KPH (28MPH).
Some Offroad E-bikes, like Specialized, in the US allow users to switch between Class 1 and Class 3 on the fly.
If you have losers going 32 - 45 KPH on your trails and walking paths, you would probably be pissed too.

6 Takeaways from Eurobike 2026: Chinese Innovation, eCVTs, and the Changing Bike Industry
@wyorider: Exactly this.
The first thing people did when they got modern safety bicycles is start putting engines on them. The bicycle and motorcycle branches have been diverging since then.
The unholy abominations that people like to call E-bikes are essentially just a modern take of the very first motorcycle.
Coincidentally, a 49cc scooter or moped as they were called when I was growing up has a similar power number to the Avinox, 2HP. E-bikes are mopeds that were lobbied into existence to eat up our multi-use paths and trails.
Much like cars took over roads that were originally designed for horses and bicycles, electric mopeds are taking over non-motorized trails and paths. So why is it the non-motorized crowd always has to share with the motors instead of them using existing infrastructure?

Your surprised the brand that makes money by selling mopeds is suddenly making mopeds? Ypu sound naive

In fact, just add a throttle. We know you've been developing a wireless class 2 throttle ypu can switch on for when those little legs get tired!

I never thought I said this but I think the hikers will save us. They far outnumber wheeled users.
Non-motorized users need to band together and banish these plastic mopeds to the moto trails where they belong.
That is already the USFS position.

Seems like they're going to have worse inventory problems than Covid since a new motor comes out every 6 months.

Its a moto page now.
Helping make all our bike parts heavier by pretending that motorized vehicles with fat drivers belong on non-motorized trails.
