We have e-bike news of all kinds to highlight this week, from an over-the-air (OTA) update that enhances Specialized’s eMTB motors, to a potential ban on some e-bikes in Boston, to a mind-blowingly high-tech new downhill eMTB.
Specialized’s latest OTA update increases the peak power output of its 3.1 mid-drive on both S-Works and
non-S-Works Turbo Levo Gen 4 models. Does this move effectively keep the brand competitive in the eMTB power wars?
A Boston City Councilor proposes a ban on e-bikes used as delivery vehicles after receiving an abundance of complaints about their reckless use. But would a ban solve the problem?
Orbea releases the Mallon RS, an impressively connected yet modestly-specced
electric mountain bike. Through Internet of Things (IoT) functionality, the bike’s suspension, motor, and dropper post communicate and synchronize to optimize its ride experience. Will we see this tech on future e-bikes?
