Bafang Announces Two New E-Bike Motors With Up to 1700 Watts of Power
We don’t want an arms race but since everyone is now a nerd who only cares about numbers in a spreadsheet we are going to keep hyping up power numbers so that nobody wants a motor with low numbers.
Bosch really needs to write a bigger check to bike media and get this under control.

Review: Pivot Shuttle LT - Adjustable Everything
@Swingset: they make a good system. But it’s not class leading and it’s too expensive for what it is. Perception has become reality in the market. And when stock of Avinox bikes becomes widespread to the point where it has to be discounted… Bosch is going to have to drop their prices by 20-30% minimum.

Review: Pivot Shuttle LT - Adjustable Everything
@Sethimus: exactly. Easy thing to cut or sell off. Point is I don’t think you can truly count on long term support for any of these ebike motors so might as well buy the best one you can.

Review: Pivot Shuttle LT - Adjustable Everything
Serious question. At what point does Bosch give up on trying to compete with Avinox and totally pull out of the bike market, ie pull a Fazua. If the rest of Bosh gets in to trouble can they afford to/want to spend the money to be a bit player in the market? It seems crazy but they bleeding market share and doing nothing to respond. Do they sell the ebike division to someone else or just slowly shut it down like Shimano is doing.
Something to think about before dropping five figures on a bike that is borderline unsellable on the used market without taking a major haircut.

Bike Check: Dangerholm's Sub-20-Pound Scott Spark RC
Not the only one. This is the bike equivalent of people who spend a gazillion dollars on PTS Porsche so they can get likes on social media and never drive them.

Bike Check: Dangerholm's Sub-20-Pound Scott Spark RC
Yawn. Every time I see one of these I am less and less interested. It’s gone from “look how high the limit is on my credit card” to “look at all the cool bro deals I get”.
I thought mountain biking was a hobby about actually DOING something, not COLLECTING a bunch of stuff.

First Ride: Santa Cruz Updates the Blur - More Travel, More Weight, More Fun?
Santa Cruz took away everything that made the V5 Tallboy special to make a bike that rides like a heavier and slower Blur only to follow that up with a.. heavier and slower Blur.

Two Vermont Builders Handed $35,000 Fine for Unauthorized State Forest Trails
VMBA didn’t stick up for this trail but they did change the name of Rastaman so nobody would be offended so I guess the MTB community is winning.

Virtue signal much? You must be a blast to hang around. It’s ok, we all know you are a good guy and that’s all that matters.

From the Top: Avinox's Joey Hu & Ferdinand Wolf on eMTB Development, Power, Trail Access, & What Comes Next
Did Ferdi get fired from Shimano, SRAM or Bosch? He’s probably doing more to destroy the bike industry than any other single individual.
Does he have an ax to grind or did they just pay him a lot?
