New eBikes From Canyon, Polygon, Salsa & More! | EMBN Show 329

Published 2024-05-01
It's the EMBN Show and with Steve Jones on a rare holiday, this week we're joined by Martyn Ashton and new @gmbntech Presenter Owen Coutts who will be dipping their toes into the latest launches from the world of E-bikes. The Canyon Neuron ON:Fly dropped last week, but we've also seen the release of a few other bikes which we spotted at Sea Otter including some very reasonably priced offerings from Polygon and Salsa. We're reviewing your comments in feedback, checking out the cool places you've been riding and we've got a packed bike vault.

  • Speedlimit from 25km/h to 32km/h (20mph) is the most important thing. not for the woods or trails but for urban biking, commuting, switching from car to bike
  • @ArturPereiraMTB
    More power: not needed Throttle: NEVER !!! Assisted speed limit increase from 25 Km/h: YES !!!
  • @jokermtb
    It’s 750 watts in USA for a class 1 eeb (pedal assist only)….the power isn’t the problem. It’s the throttle that’s the problem. Only pedal assist for trails
  • @chrislynch2557
    No more power required and definitely no throttle but like others I think the 15mph limit should be raised . I would suggest 25 mph as a maximum
  • @hairyhomerify
    I believe the 500watt idea was for cargo style bikes when riding with heavy load takes a toll on motor more power would be useful
  • @nickclarkuk
    Top speed of 15.2mph is too slow for the road . At least another 5mph would make them more useful for getting anywhere. 500w option would be nice too.
  • Hey Guys, thanks for the show. My opinion on the whole bike classification is, if it has a throttle it's a scooter or a motorbike. It's that simple. Then where off roading has limits on motorized vehicles there will be a difference between escooter and ebicycle. At some point when patrol is gone there won't be another debate about all this.
  • @guambra2001
    Let’s keep e-mtbs as what they are not e motorized motorcycles.
  • @robhyne5699
    Think the idea of increased power/throttle is to get more people on bikes for work/urban travelling/deliveries as opposed to someone flying through the woods or down a mountain.
  • From the US, 500W and 750W are common, for someone that is not a pro biker, this level of power is great for going up steep gravel and dirt roads. But I can see how really fit bikers may not see the need. As for a throttle, again very common in the US and for older and less physically capable riders, which are most ebike riders in the US, they are really a safety tool. Especially for up hill starts.
  • @vashon100
    Keep class 1 def same (US) for trail usage. Let the rest of the ebikes do whatever for commuting, etc.
  • @kentnilsson9757
    👍E-bikes and E-motorcycles are kept apart because of this throttle and the only thing that needs to be done, is to increase the speed limit from 25km/h to 32km/h for E-bikes😁
  • @Flight29er
    Remove 25kmh speed restriction, let the manufacturer decide what their motor/battery can safely output (speed wise). Lighter batteries. Universal standardised motor mounts and batteries. 10 speed drive trains.
  • Industry, clubs and enthusiasts need to get involved in any and all government legislation involving e-bikes. Personally I think that all vehicles with pedals and electric motors should fall into the existing Type 1-2-3 classifications. Then the public bike trails can go on to ban all Type 2 bikes! NO THROTTLES!
  • @johnf3326
    Chain drive: Great in clean, dry, dust and mud free environment! Ebike mudguards: there are 2 types of riders: the one who likes a big muddy stripe up the back to 'prove' how macho and the one who wants to stay as clean and dry as possible. Ebike carrying capacity storage: I wish I could find SOMEWHERE other than my backpack to carry my inner tubes, tools, water, snacks, pump etc. The tiny frame bags I fitted can only carry minor items. A rear rack don't seem possible with rear suspension/dropper post
  • @user-vv2ev6fx6g
    It's the people who already own ebikes want more power and a throttle because some of us are disabled and bigger batteries, but I still love to pedal with safety it's not power so much it's torque we need for hill climbing 😊
  • @J0nny61
    Speed limit to 20MPH is most important to me. I have an Orbea Wild and a home built Bafang 750 mid drive. The Bafang is like riding an electric moped, I much prefer the Orbea but hate the speed limit.
  • Don't need or want throttles, don't need more power, just suggest the current ridiculous speed restriction upped to 20 mph
  • @philrobson4287
    One of the issues in Netherlands is e-bikes going twice the speed of pedal bikes on the cycle paths and scaring the crap out of pedal riders
  • @syncroG60golf
    More power isn’t required and a throttle definately isn’t wanted. Maybe up the assist limit a bit? I love the fact that e-bikes are still essentially a bicycle, moving them closer to what is basically a motorbike is a terrible idea.
