eMTBs are more powerful than ever – but that’s not always a good thing
Manage episode 479470379 series 2508884
Electric mountain bike development shows no signs of slowing, with high-powered motors arriving from the likes of DJI and Specialized, which offer 850 and 720 watts of power respectively in their ‘regular’ modes. The DJI takes that further with a 1,000-watt boost mode.
But that’s not always a good thing. In this podcast, BikeRadar’s technical editor-in-chief, Rob Weaver, and MBUK TV’s video presenter, Tom Marvin, tell you why.
The duo also chat through what this means for the future of eMTBs, and whether peak power and torque now needs to be capped.
