Oh come on, whatever you think about e-bikes, you've got to admit that's a cracking name. Well played guys.
Yep, and they've managed to make it look pretty good, for an e-bike, in the pics by putting it in front of a dark background.
Same geometry as the Alpine too.
Indeed. Real world pics will make it look like an Alpine with a battery and motor slapped under it 🙂Yep, and they've managed to make it look pretty good, for an e-bike, in the pics by putting it in front of a dark background.
Looks great, could see myself riding one of those to effectively have my own personal uplift.
Story here for the curious

I didn't think E-Bikes were that big of a thing until I went to Merida.com
Click Bikes, then E-Bikes, and it returns SEVENTY SIX different models.
Its not hard to hard a motor and battery in a filing cabinet 😀
Awesome name! I have registered my interest - self-uplifting almost downhill bike.
Compared to KTMs attempt, the E.P.O looks positively attractive 🙂

I think it looks fine. The Orange frame construction naturally suits it- the motor looks a bit weird but the battery fits in about as well as it can.
Name is good but not as good as the Felt Lebowsk-e
Block out the downtube and it's an Alpine 6, lovely looking bike!
Unblock it and you are a cheating **stard!
Want a go on one mind 🙂
I'm surprised orange are so late to the party! Ebikes are the future of mtb after all!
Looks a great ride but 7k is a bit strong.
🙄
😆
I think Oranges more"industrial" looking frames suite an E bike actually!
Not putting them down,I like the aesthetics of their frames.
Yeah, 7k though...... Pretty scary. 🙁
That KTM has both a kickstand and a mirror. Don't think it's aimed at trail riders. That Orange looks pretty ok for an ebike.
I prefer the Canfield Bros EPO. But I'm not ready for an ebike. (Well not for a year or two...)
