Time not quite determined yet, we've been working around the clock to finish media and website (working on it right now! I'm a real web designer tonight 😂) I'd like to say mid-afternoon, Sask time (we have our own time-zone, it's a good one!)

As I mentioned, no problem competing with and exceeding Bafang Ultra performance at the same wattage level of existing Ultra bikes Added weight isn't much. We will absolutely be reducing weight further as we go (typical continuous improvement of product+manufacturing). The drivetrain was...

Ultra motor has 7.8 : 1 reduction ratio (when chainring and rear sprocket are 1:1, say 44t chainring and tall cassette low gear) This motor has 10 : 1 reduction ratio. At the same power level, this motor out-climbs, and out-tows the Ultra, typically. Once the power levels are increased...

Proprietary system, can't talk much about it yet I'm afraid. I can say: It was designed to be used on other ebikes as well, not just on this particular system. It's also independent of how the signals are processed and utilized (that's more on the ESC/motor controller side of things).

not so much "ideal", as "impossibly complex, expensive, and heavy" 😆 why reinvent the IGH if you're no longer sending motor power through the pedal-side...

Yep LMX are a good example of Dual Drive, although I find their bikes to be too noisy (primarily a result of their drivetrain specifics). I'm really picky about the sound of an ebike: It was important to us that the bike isn't noisy, and sounds good in general. I really like how the acoustics...

100% of motor power is transmitted via #219 racing cart chain, between an alloy steel machined output sprocket, and a 70T 7075 hard anodized rear sprocket. These components (chain, sprockets, and associated dynamic tensioner) are intended to last the lifespan of the bike. The rear hub is...

"As for the peak system power (2500W) and top speeds, these are for reference performance, and testing the entire system+bikes to the extreme end. As with any other system (example: BBSHD, Ultra), the bikes are typically limited to comply with specific market requirements/typical power limits...

Photos and videos of the entire system and the bikes coming 2/22/2022, this Tuesday 😁

it does not rely on bicycle chain, but it still pedals like any bicycle, with up to 12 speeds Clarification: the bike still uses bicycle chain on the pedal-power side. The power-train however uses it's own chain, independently. This provides redundancy between the two systems. As for the...

Motor control programming in development for 12+ months now, we're really happy with it! The high available power is essential to us for intense testing, this much power will only be available in off-road models (limiting power to say 50% greatly extends service interval for every-day riders)...

It is possible to install into frames which are designed for Bafang Ultra, but not intended to be used for conversion-DIY jobs. Primarily, this will come on new complete bikes I think! Should be able to get more details out this weekend, ahead of public launch on 22nd (Tuesday). And complete...

Here's the scoop, as much as I can share right now: it's more powerful than a Bafang Ultra, and it sounds better. it uses a high resolution torque+cadence PAS it's made in Canada (mostly, including motor and electronics, power drivetrain) 24 months engineering right here in Saskatoon, SK. it...

Figured I'd chime in on the X1 Archon controller, even if a bit off topic: they kinda suck. Feels gutless and from what I can tell, the efficiency gains they pulled off were by making the Ultra perform more like a Prius than say, a Mustang. I tried two configurations, one was full unlimited...

Every torque sensor bike also uses cadence. Pretty sure there's no such thing as "torque only" PAS sensor, regardless of how the mfg advertises it.

Woah, how was the wipeout? that's intense. Defect from Wren no doubt (which is surprising), good thing you wear a full face helmet! Great video by the way, fun to watch!

That's right Expat. The most reliable place to disconnect the battery power is by removing it, which is why Reention and others ditched switches and stuck to battery removal as the means of cutoff (the battery "plug" terminals are designed for thousands of contact cycles, and can also be easily...

The light comes with black tape along the top for a cutoff pattern, works good in practice, I've done a lot of test riding with this light, no pedestrians have screamed at me even once!

Classic mid-drive runs the BBS02 which is a very efficient motor (so is the Ultra), but if you can get by without the torque sensor Ultra motor, it's a smart buy going with extra battery range on the Duo. Since both motors can take advantage of gearing, you can pull quite a bit with either...
