0:03
You don't tell me about it.
0:04
E-adventure 1.0 which uh this is
0:07
actually the prototype. So maybe it's a
0:09
0.something but um we've been riding
0:12
this one for over a year now. Um we have
0:15
actually got the final production bikes
0:16
arriving um later on this month.
0:19
the first few customers who ordered
0:21
them. They did sell out quite quickly
0:22
and quite a lot of ahead of what we
0:24
thought they would. Um
0:26
but effectively 18 months ago we were
0:31
how we ride and maybe some of the riding
0:33
we do where a lot of us commute to work
0:37
mix of green lanes and roads and um but
0:39
also quite a lot of us prefer the idea
0:42
going away or exploring more on our
0:45
rather than getting in a car.
0:47
But often riding a bike can actually
0:50
be quite hard work if you're going to do
0:52
it all day or do it a lot in the morning
0:54
to get to work and a lot in the evening
0:55
5 days a week. And we saw a lot of
0:57
capability especially if you're hauling
0:58
a few low loads or you know, maybe if
1:01
you've got a photography equipment that
1:02
kind of stuff. And we saw something
1:05
the ability for having a fast light bike
1:08
that had some e-assist to help us all
1:10
get out more often and maybe choose our
1:12
cars a bit less often.
1:14
Um whether that was for holiday or
1:15
commuting or just for exploring as a
1:17
really good option. And also you know, I
1:19
think everybody realizes that e is a
1:20
really good leveler and helps everyone
1:22
to enjoy cycling together when we're
1:24
often on different levels. So
1:25
you know, lots of e-mountain bikers
1:26
often enjoy riding together with normal
1:29
mountain bikers. You know, that's just a
1:30
great thing about it. So we just see it
1:32
as a great possibility for future riding
1:34
and we felt like a bike like this would
1:36
give you a lot of capabilities.
1:38
So it's it's a gravel bike with a a
1:41
battery you can drop out and then you
1:43
can ride it without the battery?
1:44
Exactly. Yeah, so um it's super simple.
1:46
Um Fazua system is relatively famous now
1:49
um so it's quite a few big companies
1:50
using it. It's quite hard to be allowed
1:52
to use it. We had to spend a lot of time
1:53
talking to those guys about explaining
1:55
how we were pushing things forward. Um
1:57
but effectively, if you take the system
1:59
out, which just sits in here, the new
2:00
version is slightly different. It's
2:02
easier to open, um but you can take away
2:04
all of the motor system and the battery.
2:08
And also, the battery is fully
2:09
replaceable, so you could carry a small
2:11
battery that weighs about 1.4 kilos, and
2:13
that will add another 90 km of range.
2:15
And you can mount that, say, on the top
2:17
tube or on on the seat tube. Um so, we
2:19
have a range extension pack for it.
2:22
And that saves you around 4.5 kilos when
2:25
you take that out. There's a storage
2:26
container going next to you. You ride it
2:28
Uh normal gravel or adventure bike. Or
2:30
you can ride it with the assist, which
2:32
offers up to uh 400 watts of assistance.
2:35
It is 125, 250, or 400 watts of
2:38
Okay. So, is the whole motor and battery
2:41
that comes out? It's not just the
2:42
Yeah, that's right. So, it's like a
2:43
sleeve. So, that all comes out like
2:46
that. And the motor system is in there,
2:48
and the battery slides inside. There you
2:49
go. So, that's your battery.
2:52
So, these are These guys are from
2:53
Germany. They're doing
2:55
create a really innovative,
2:56
well-thought-out product.
2:58
Um and then that just all slides back
3:01
You get a cover that can go in there and
3:02
can be a storage unit, which obviously
3:04
weighs next to nothing.
3:05
And you can keep your baguette in there,
3:06
then, couldn't you? Yeah.
3:07
But also, this bike has a lot of
3:10
detail put into it. This is not the full
3:12
production one. This paint job is not
3:14
quite the final one, cuz this is by Ali
3:16
Creations near us in Sussex. But the
3:18
final one is very similar and has the
3:20
contour lines along the top tube of the
3:21
South Downs, where we're from.
3:24
Um so, the final one all matches that,
3:26
but also, the fork has been developed
3:27
slightly differently. So, it's actually
3:29
got dynamo routing. So, if you do want
3:31
to use the bike with dynamo, even if
3:32
you're not using the battery in there,
3:34
um it's all internal dynamo routing. And
3:37
also, it's got anything cage mounts on
3:40
Um so, it's incredibly versatile. It's
3:42
got um mudguard rack uh mounts rack
3:46
three different bottle mounts, and
3:47
another anything cage mount on the down
3:48
tube. So, the guy who designed this
3:51
actually has a long history in designing
3:52
adventure bikes probably for one of the
3:55
um forward thinking for- forward
3:56
thinking brands in um
3:58
in adventure riding, Bombtrack. He was a
4:01
But he he's a product designer of a
4:02
company called Kathmandu, but he worked
4:04
on this for us freelance. And then now
4:06
there's a guy called Matt who's leading
4:07
up Cann, who has worked on the Pinnacle
4:09
Arkose and things like that. So, he's
4:11
working full time pushing that forward
4:13
with advice from Rich moving forward.
4:14
So, we've got some incredible
4:16
um kind of knowledge going into it and
4:18
just thinking and we're now thinking
4:19
about more ways dedicated riders might
4:22
want to use e-assist to help them
4:25
get around without using a car,
4:27
You know, whether that's with families
4:29
or whether it's, you know, transporting
4:31
your, you know, shopping or
4:33
what you need for business. We're just
4:35
thinking about if you're a dedicated
4:36
rider and you see the possibility for e
4:39
get out more on a bike instead of
4:41
choosing other options,
4:42
that's a really good thing cuz we want
4:45
and that's what Cann's about. So,
4:47
that's the first really versatile bike
4:51
Nice. Thank you. All right.
