UC Pro Step through frame prototype build pics. Painting / Decal / lights etc will be done in Boston.

Up to 2.6 inches
Weight is ~ 72/73 lbs for the step through with Rohloff. With the Sturmet archer, it is ~71lbs.

Is that with single battery?

yes, single battery, step through.

 

[TomD]

How is the frame flex on the step thru with that weight?

 

[pushkar]

Passes EN and ASTM. However I will be testing more once the frame gets here.

 

[Bluzrif]

How’s the frame schedule looking? I hear nothing but heartache in the bike blogosphere over supply chain.

@pushkar, don't you mean up to 2.8 inches?

What do you all think about this color? It's an exclusive color on top trims with luxury brands like Audi and BMW. Paint color option alone is close to $4000. I think it would look really nice on the new UC Pro, but that may just be my opinion.

So far we are tracking end October .. we put in the order for materials so things will be ready ..
However, it is week by week ..

I have set up a small prayer monument to the shipping gods. It has pictures of USPS / Fedex/ DHL / RL / TNT / UPS on it...

Also a small monument to people trying to find the vaccine

It looks like they are close to developing the vaccine since they are now trying to decide the priority of who gets the vaccine first. Here's hoping!

Coronavirus update: Covid-19 vaccine ready by end of year, early 2021, Fauci says

A coronavirus vaccine could be available by the end of the year.

There’s a metal cover I have designed for it that fits the same mountAs the battery cover. It’s CNC so a little expensive ($175/$200) but that’s one option.

Paintable, if we do the custom paint on the bike?

Pretty much everything is paintable with our provider except the saddle / grips and other plastic parts.

this color degrades the overall look and visibility of the bike

I like the light blue prototype or maybe Ferrari red

 

[Hintrod]

I think it’s an awesome color which I have seen on Porsche’s also.....

Pushkar - thanks for the updates - this is getting exciting.

You mention you can only get a 14aH battery on the frame.

Are you referring to the battery in the front frame position down tube or the battery latched onto the seat tube?

If it's the down tube I might have to reconsider and go with the standard frame

Thanks

Yes, this is for the downtube (in-frame) battery. The seat tube battery can be larger.

What size is that external seat-tube battery in the photos?

That’s880 wh Battery. Jumbo shark.

Looks like you loose the step thru feature with the second battery. Looks easier to swing the leg over than thread it between the batteries.

 

[Audiotom]

Is the downtube in frame battery a 48 v 14ah or 52 v 14ah? relative range with pedal assist and fairly flat terrian?
