This is a forum for local people we’ll have no e-bikes here !!! (Said in the voice of Edward out of League of Gentlemen) 😉

Anyone else upset by the mis-matched cable conduit on the wall?

As far as eBikes go, that one's a reasonable looker. 👌

Well someone has got to say it....

The shock looks like the frame was designed around the motor and the shock fitted in later "oh shit we have got fit it in somewhere" ok ok that will do. Call it linear+ trails come alive or something.

Technically speaking a moped. It's the 1970s all over again

Yeah, the shock/seat tube/rear triangle intersection is a horror show. The straight line from head tube to rear axle, on the other hand, is very pleasing.

This is my ebike for this year

Tell us you're sponsored, without telling us 🙂

The straight line from head tube to rear axle, on the other hand, is very pleasing.

It might even have been better without this niceness, as the contrast between the two elements of the design draws attention.

I’d love a Pivot bike - everything I’ve read about them in reviews and interviews makes me think they’re made as well as anyone is making a bike. Super tight QC etc.

I agree that the shock angle looks a bit weird but it’s just the packaging/kinematics juggle - it’s progressive enough for a coil, loads of anti-squat, good brake-squat.

Have fun! (Obviously you will, that’s your job!)
