Superbike - Series 2 unlock upgrades.

[Law]

We are starting assembly next week (will post pics as soon as we have it). I am expecting ~ 71 or 72 lbs with in-frame battery. (current Ti bike is ~64lbs as a comparison).

hoping you will have a non-spoke wheel option.

Do you have examples ?

Is that weight with the rear and front racks installed?

This is with the integrated rear fender rack + front fender only.

Bosch prototype wheels look sharp.

Bosch prototype wheels look sharp.

I think renders are always great. Is this a real bike yet ? There are a few things to consider regardless of if it is a render or not.

1. The spokeless wheel is only an option if you are doing a cassette or a fixed gear. If you are doing an internal gear hub. e.g. kindernay / rohloff / etc, you wont be able to have that "spokeless" wheel at the rear. You will notice that Juiced has a wheel for a motor mount, but not a gear hub.

2. I don't have any data on if or why those wheels are better. I would like to learn. Can you please share any articles / data sets that compare those wheels?

3. If these are carbon based, then long term care is crucial - good carbon wont be cheap. e.g. HED aluminum rims are 180/rim for aluminum but $400/ rim for carbon.. and those are with spokes. If we add more material, the cost will go up.

It’s not a “real” bike, as Bosch just uses it to promote components.

Your Points are Valid.

You must speak German at this point lol.

Well it's next week where is that WW prototype, we are pretty eager to see it.

@pushkar said he got the prototypes but he needs a little more time time make the build to post the pics.

His real day job must be getting in the way again

That's given, but I think it's because of all the prep work he has to do including sourcing components since they are backordered.

If he has wheels/tires/rims/fork/motor for any brand I will take a Beta version.
