I reckon that’s going to an Avinox motor. DJI microphones used in the video……🤔

So they've released a video about their new e-bike and you can't see what motor is in it? 

Is it worth watching when I'm home in front of the telly?

Not unless they’re gonna release an e-bike with ‘Orbea’ written on the side.

I got the teaser email too.  A little disappointed but not surprised by the lack of any actual information at this stage, will watch episode 2 as soon as it pops up

How do they 3d print or form the battery housing? Wonder if they go down the cotic route and have a loose battery?

 

interesting  and big investment for a small company. Hope they don’t do a Deviate…

Yeah it's a bit light on details - or any information to be honest lol

Will be interesting to see what motor they use.

It's probably a toss up between the Avinox and the SRAM - can't see it being Shimano, although the fact that Cotic are using them might not completely rule them out.

I really hope it doesn't have an exposed battery, looks like in the sketches it does.

I think an external battery limits motor options, to Shimano and possibly Bosch (but they have pretty high MOQs).

An Avinox would be the best option IMO.
