They have carbon forks handlebars and stems so they have that manufacture that can help with the E-Bike frame
When I need the e-boost, that bike would be on my short list.

Side note: I had a gander at the "in-stock" bikes on the moots website, and... $17k+ for a Ti Disc with Di2. Is the oxygen a little too thin up there in Steamboat or have they just completely given up on being competitive with pricing?

And the V2 rips. Plus you can probably haggle that $19k down if its old inventory.

These posts crack me up...A plastic Trek, made in Asia, with Etap is listed as $16,500..more than a few from giant and specialized too.
