E-bike motors and the arms race of power !!

[weeksy]

Wow, once again it's insane in the arms race with pretty much everyone now going full Avinox.

From Orange bikes, Mondraker, Canyon, Nukeproof, it just seems like manufacturers have decided that Avinox is the way forward and the only way to go. Most it seems are running the M2S which is the higher power 1500w, but some are going 1200w with the M2.

It really doesn't help me in the fact that i still want and will own an eeb. But i'd rather stay away from Avinox through personal preference, but it's lowering my list and options all the time.

Power aside the avinox delivery is superb and miles better than my Bosch, it takes measurements 42 times a revolution where the Bosch does it once. You can have zero overrun when you stop pedalling or adjust it to run on in increments. You can set max torque and power at loads of different levels, you can set how quick it responds too. It’s also lighter than the Bosch. If you don’t want the power you could set it to the same as any of the lower powered bikes in one mode. The way it rides is utterly superb and infinitely adjustable there’s just no way I can see why anyone would buy another brand.

The big reason for that for me is known reliability and support, both short and longer term. But maybe by the time i get one that will change anyway.

They’ve been out a couple of years and so far so good, I can only imagine with so many jumping on the bandwagon it’ll all work out, my Bosch has been great but at 4 years old needed new bearings which I decided not to do and put a new motor in. I didn’t mind as it’s done every mile in turbo

Not really. There's many many issues on various forums with them, including the M2S, from hardware issues, to rattling and software loss of connection or drive etc...

The Bosch have that fact that you can rebuild easily.
