new ebike motor vendor - TQ

[eddief]

going into Trek's newest emountain bikes. I understood zero of the tech in this article, but the system looks promising. Trek's been through a bunch of motor vendors in a short amount of time:

By all reports, these things are amazing. I have to say I'd be tempted by the Trek Fuel EXe - if it was even remotely possible to find one.

and I do love my Turbo Creo, but this one could be a weener.

I have Fazua with close to 4K on it, solid. Only time went out was when I forgot to put on wheel magnet with my new 650b wheels

Both great systems I think, both German engineering.

Harmonic drive is pretty cool, I guess nobody else has done it because it's difficult to do it cheaply.

I've ridden the SLR Domane + hands down best drive system I have ever been on.

Motor is now in the bottom bracket instead of attached to the battery. Makes sense but is way different than their original approach. Things are moving really fast.

Different market, this 60 is meant when motor/battery isn't normally removed, more for urban market.

Not sure why folks would buy an e-bike with removeable battery as I would think most of those folks would have me-bikes that they still love to ride. (I do) And having to remove the battery each time for charging seems like a hassle. My bet is Fazua will still obsolete version 1. Time will tell.
