Has anyone else been seeing this new motor (Bafang 72v 3000w Rear-hub motor) and the Magician Ebike company coming on the scene?

50mph claimed speeds and improved range moves them into a near motorcycle class.

They also have a fat tire, full suspended mid drive with a new Bafang 72v motor that uses a torque sensor and an rpm sensor selection. Seems like its priced quite low for what it is.

I may buy one instead of building a full suspended fat bike for snow and rock explorations.

That isn't an ebike; that IS a motorcycle.

Please keep it off public roads unless it's registered and insured. The legal crackdowns these fast pseudo "ebikes" are causing hurt all legit ebike riders.
It is somewhere between a motorcycle and an ebike with the use of a torque sensor.

No interest in 50mph on an e-bike but the power and range is welcome on long, rough and steep climbs however.

I would ride it as a bike wherever I please without any issues or dangers common to the use of a bicycle.

Cutting loose kids and young teens with this speed potential on the public roads would endanger a large portion of them and certainly light off more than a few Karen's across the country.

This bike matches the performance of my DM01 ToSeven kit.
 
Specs on the Atlas say it’s a Bafang G510 motor (mid-drive), which seems to be 52V, not 72V. Is that the bike you’re talking about? I’m not seeing the 3kW rear drive hub version??
 
The Atlas looks interesting, but it is not legal to ride most places and the weight is off-putting. "Total weight of bike with battery = 113lbs / Total weight of bike without battery = 83.8lbs". The Aventon Ramblas is half the weight and the same price range. Even though the Ramblas is a hard-tail, I think I would go that way instead of the Atlas.

Hi Run!

Aventon has the Aventure model, which is a fatty that’s probably a better comparison than the Ramblas. The Aventure M is fairly new and has their A100 mid-drive as well as their most recent electronics to match. Very appealing bike, particularly at 73lbs. If I were shopping...
