Totally agree. Range anxiety isn't that much of an issue on a light Ebike as they aren't that bad to pedal unassisted.

I seen that. I wonder how effective it will be. I generally don't ride along and want for the removal of the chore of having to shift gears.Shimano releasing new XT Di2 12-speed groupset, but it's e-bike only
I'd rather not have a drivetrain that is more robust, doesn't get out of adjustment and is more reliable.

Having tried the Levo SL and a normal Orbea I totally agree. While the big chunker was not as terrible as I thought it would be, the Levo was so much like riding my normal bike. I rode some really slow tech stuff on the Levo, the torque sensing was so good for that. Didn't get a chance to do much on the Orbea but enough to say I would definitley only get one of these light ones.

They may do, but then you need a bigger battery to compensate otherwise you will have bugger all range. Getting the battery cell size much smaller is a big challenge at the moment.

Surprised that they are in stock already considering how supply chains are at the moment

Hopefully the world is feeling the pinch and stock will be available on every level.
Sales people will have try and sell you stuff, giving sweetening discounts to get your custom.
I had great experience of this in the past couple of weeks. My boys wanted small smart TV's for their bedrooms... to be honest, Id rather they cast YouTube to a screen than squint at their phones.
GoodGuys, 2 x 32" Smart/Android/whatever telly's at $299 each, got them for $480 without any effort.
Then yesterday, been looking at a bigger Bluetooth speaker and decided to give the Good Guys another poke on the way in to nightshift last night, arrived 10 mins before closing, straight to the speaker section and a was lit on immediately by a sales assistant.
I gave the small talk 'whats the difference between the Flip5 and the Charge5'... I already fucking knew as I have been researching them for a few days, actually probably knew more than the sales bloke, he gave me the pitch and I asked him what he could do on price.
Was expecting $190, maybe $180... straight in with how does $160 sound... BOOM ! Watch out Melrose, Disco-Ozzy will hit town tomorrow morning with the tunes pumping at double the normal volume

Oh no someone at TQ-System GmbH's legal office forgot to pay (or chose not to) the Australian Patent continuation fee on patent application 2011311151
Lapsed 7th April 2017, no backsies, unprotected works now. patent application 2011311151
their first application (2010231573 ) was shot down for being a piss poor application that didn't make sense.
Regardless, it's a nice step forward. I can't make real sense of the animation or the patent yet.

It's a pretty clever system and because that the Harmonic Pin Ring System that does the reduction is concentric with the motor it doesn't extend the motor housing any more forward or rearward in the frame it keeps it all very compact.
