Not to detract from the ebike at hand, but is that a new rendering of the Honda logo? Has that been used on any existing product?
Good eye. I knew there was something odd about that.
First I've seen it.
Yup, that logo is also present on the Honda e
TIL Honda e. Thanks!
I just want to see some pinion mgu in canada. We have enough chain and derailleur bikes already. I do fat bike winter work commute and it's really a pain getting all the snow and salt off after each ride. Gimme those sweet sweet mid drive all in one motor and transmission with computer timed electronic shifting belted to the wheel please.
Electric pinion + gate belt drive train would be badass!
IKR. The features on that thing are sick. The stationary shift and auto shift at stop really sell it for me, and the earliest optimal shift delay after pressing a shift button to mitigate wear and tear is just icing.
To add some context: Some 20 years ago, Honda already produced this legendary Downhill MTB: https://www.downhill247.com/downhill-posts/inside-info-honda-rn01-the-silver-bullet/
Damn that one actually sounds more appealing. Definitely want to see more mid mount gearboxes.
I'm a fan of Honda in general, but I'd be interested to know the price: If this runs as well as their cars and isn't crazy expensive, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Looks different!
Seems like they had to skirt sround some patents too 😳 that's a really funky triangle-less design.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
