Love how he’s just wearing socks while testing it.

It's a strict, no shoes in the house, house.
Didn't say anything about mad contraptions in the kitchen.

The Orbea Rise is more capable than ever, up and down the mountain.

It's about as good looking as any other full powered ebike available currently. Plus, probably an improvement on this:
Wheres the vomit emoji! Did they eat too much over fermented sauerkraut. Makes the one @Tubbsy posted look nice.

Is the logo the right way around on the other side? Nicojai just doesnt seem right to me

Not going to lie, I would be tempted by one of them (I actually reckon it look alright tbh...) - but then I looked at frame-only prices for their Bosch drive framesets and concluded that in fact I would not.

Did I just have a stroke or did that webpage say it would be $18000 for the frame? I'm going to assume the former.Not going to lie, I would be tempted by one of them (I actually reckon it look alright tbh...) - but then I looked at frame-only prices for their Bosch drive framesets and concluded that in fact I would not.

I saw ~8000 Euro for a Bosch-drive frameset.

There's a new trend making electric bike batteries safer
A new type of electric bicycle battery is gaining traction in the industry, potentially ushering in unprecedented levels of safety...
electrek.co
Not a major issue in quality e-bikes, but massive in the cheap ones, scooters and other battery powered things that currently catch fire. Maybe they should just mandate potted batteries in future?
It would make pack repair impossible, but actually nobody is repairing these anyway, it is near impossible to replace just one cell in a lot of the packs that exist without potting. The future for damaged or depeted packs is the full pack recycling like the video that was posted in the climate change thread so potting does make sense. Also can pot multiple modules that make up a pack, so partial pack replacement is possible.

Maybe everyone just needs to ejaculate the battery before coming inside.

I didn’t even realise they’d updated the SL. Looks fugly either way, more so than the WildNew Orbea Rise.

let you google that for me
The Wild SL looks nice though - I think it depends on your colour choices, this being one of my absolute favourites, especially with Kashima contrast.

Looks like older Mondraker frames, aka “like a dog taking a shit” as poodle so eloquently put it.

If everyone keeps using the one engineer who’s previous achievements were Subaru and BMW valve cover gaskets, potting might seem attractive. He’s already weaved his magic at Brose, insisting paper gaskets don’t need support on both sides for 100% of the perimeter.There's a new trend making electric bike batteries safer

Potting the entire pack and a heat sink out the bottom might be an improvement. Some potting compounds have great thermal coefficients.
Indeed it does destroys any repair possibilities. Hot swapping cells out of packs is achievable if you’re game.

I guess there's only so many ways to design a frame. I like it though.
