Another new TQ motor: hpr40

[Stefan Mikes]

Stop being a troll Stefan, it's unpleasant.

Why going personal? Do you know that going personal in a discussion is the "Ultimate Argument" (dishonest) as described by one Artur Schopenhauer in his "The Art of Being Right" (1831)? Going personal means you have no valid arguments.

A mid size company that has tried with a plethora of e-bike systems either leaves their older customers unsupported or gets into the trouble because of maintaining so many e-bike systems. Fazua turned out to be a lemon and companies such as TREK escaped from it, leaving their customers alone.

Now, TQ 40 and an Enduro e-MTB. Well, if I'm not wrong, Specialized ended the production of Kenevo SL 2 back in 2024, leaving the 2023 model of that lightweight low power (50 Nm) e-bike as the last one. Perhaps the brand realized it was a dead end. Now, Orbea gets into the same trap.

Discuss if you have arguments.

The brand is going "the TREK way". How they want to make their e-bike business sustainable remains a mystery to me.

Watch for an announcement at Sea Otter.
