Range wise, we've found the XD does extremely well up against bikes with Ultra motors.. the XD is "never in the wrong gear", assist wise. We'll be doing more extended range testing this year for clear estimates with the production configuration.

I can't guarantee we'll be doing FS right away, but It's absolutely on our development forecast. Production priorities first and foremost with the simplest embodiment (hard-tail frames, XD system, perfect PAS).

Freewheels have also been around forever. We have one in the motor output-stack, I prefer this compared to, at the rear wheel (where it just adds weight to the rear end). Freewheel functionality can also already be accomplished by the motor itself (under power, this is known as Electric...

Right! exciting stuff, Nicolai are wild. Eboxx Ultra is a whole different weight class (120-150 lbs, and 10kW), hell of a bike no doubt, and suitably pricy! Personally I prefer something much lighter, and bicycles are so versatile compared to dirt bikes (electric or not).

Don't feed the trolls, get outta here already Gionne 😂 PS, LMX makes nice stuff, I'm glad they're doing Dual drive too!!

Great questions: The ESC (motor controller) is a programmable FOC, also from Canadian supplier. This works in conjunction with our motor hall-sensor signal processing, and microcontroller interface. All of this is integrated within the mid-drive/motor assembly, however the motor itself is a...

PedalUma: Yea, I'm just gonna add you to my ignored list, the big photo attachments and snobby attitude (like you know more than the rest of us, about Zen and the art of Ebikes) isn't adding anything to this discussion. No hard feelings! I just don't have time for that. Kudos for the efforts in...

Yea, FS and fatbikes are one of those things that don't necessarily need to be combined (my opinion personally). If/when we build an FS version with this drivetrain, I'd like it to be around a 157mm rear end, with narrower Q-factor to suit. This way, we could cater to say 27.5" x 3.5" max rear...

Yup, the PAS is plug and play with mount hardware already integrated in the system. Plugs into control board with waterproof higo plug.

Yea, we've been trying really hard to break the assist side. Really trying. We haven't been able to break anything on the powertrain side. Also been trying field-weakening, to beat up the motor harder, overheating it isn't even possible with our current batteries. On a related note, the motor...

Not sure body shaming is what we want in this community, PedalUma. Ebikes are all about enabling more people to ride, and enabling them to ride further in a day, through more challenging terrains, and to REPLACE CARS. Please consider this, and what we're really trying to achieve here as ebike...

Hey Bruce, absolutely will be in CAD once the XD page is set up on biktrix.ca, on biktrix.com we keep everything in USD.

Same! I had some pedal striking issues back in 2018 with my Jug Ultra when I put 27.5" wheels on, so I got searching for solutions, got Miranda cranks, and it was a real moment of revelation riding with those! 150-160mm cranks on these types of motors feel like they were made for each other, in...

Short crank arms: This is a huge improvement on basically any mid-drive bike, we learned this concretely on Bafang Ultra builds. Shorter cranks actually feel better in every way, both on-road and off. Reduced pedal strikes are the hugest benefit off-road. These Origin8 cranks were chosen over...

PAS will be an option for the Off-road edition.

Weight of the bike is currently 28kg (61 pounds) not including choice of battery. Rear power sprocket is expected to last life of the bike, but can be replaced with conventional 219 kart sprockets (6 bolt pattern, one-piece). typical metric fasteners. Pedaling drag is quite low, we've had a...

Belts are totally possible on either or both sides, absolutely. Chains keep development simpler and are the best place to start (ideal for off-road too). Full-suspension we also skipped over to keep things simple, and while Regen has been tested, we're holding back on that too due to...

ALL SET! xd.biktrix.com 🥳🥳 Happy Twosday!!

EDIT: last minute glitch, what 🤣🤣 Launch video link may not work just yet, but here we go!!!! edit again: Last-minute change/delay, sorry guys. Should be sorted momentarily.

Yep still working on it, thanks for your patience everyone! Maybe we can hit 22:00 hrs 😆
