@@Qu.Z. On an all wheel drive setup, couldn’t you make one of the motors a direct drive and do regenerative braking and keep the other motor mid drive?
@@cjaquilino could do this with just one mid drive motor and program the regen to one of your break levers, adding 2 motors would probably just be inefficient but it would be interesting to see
ABS is just a gimmick for people who have no idea. Hydraulic disc brakes and grippy tyres are all you need. Before you have to worry about ABS braking, you have to learn how to brake. Problem is, that most e-Bike riders have little to no experience when deciding to buy 20kg bikes capable to go 25km/h for no effort. I doubt they can make any use of the brake power they have, let alone manage to not fall off. When I did my first and only full emergency brake on my gravel bike (a lttle bird flew in my front tyre, RIP), I had to jump over my handlebar, so I could've distributed my weight better but the braking On my old, "normal" 15kg bike with hard, low-grip but super durable tyres (from Schwalbe), I had multiple falls from anything from routine to emergency braking in the rain, mostly because the front lost grip and a heavy bike is hard to control. On my 9kg gravel bike, the slick tyres offer great grip even in rain and sliding is easy to control. I have to say though, that cargo bikes may be the niche for ABS (also the 100g or whatever extra won't hurt there) but I doubt that an experienced user has a lot of benefit. Maybe for rental bikes it could make sense.
unless i have both breaks connected together, working at the same time, with a single lever......the only other time i use front breaks, is going up hill.... other then that, that, front breaks are pretty much useless.... they are just there to hold spare break pads.... no need for front antilock breaks..... rear would make sense, maybe.....not front.
Yes, you could spend thousands of dollars on an eBike th-cam.com/users/postUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ and get something much higher quality. However, if you're looking for a basic model to try out eBiking this is a great choice. The assembly is easy as far as bikes go (took about an hour for me to do, I'm not an expert). All tools needed are included. I added the plastic mud guards you see and a more comfortable seat. The other reviews are correct that you're probably going to want a better seat (Giddy Up! Bike Seat is what I got - super comfortable). The battery easily handles a 2-4 hour ride if you add some of your own pedal power. I haven't even gotten it up to top speed yet - it is very fast. Components are not top of the line, but decent for the price and work just fine. It works great on dirt roads and singletrack and pavement although too heavy to do tricks or any serious technical mountain biking. I'm looking forward to using it a lot over the summer. Tons of fun!
Hell yeah that's completely awesome I can't wait until they start offering it to every brand bike
Looking forward to having this someday!
That would be perfect for my Madmods,weighting 116lbs
Strange
I'm sure we're already seen abs for bikes from Bosch couple years ago here on the channel.
The ABS needs to work on both/all wheels. Add traction control and you can then add regen braking.
Regen brake is impossible on a middrive

can you still do endos on it
Had no idea that Micah had blue eyes, until this video!

What's with that ridiculous Muzak ?

whrre is ABS work in video? Timee wasted, thumbs down.
I can't possibly imagine this being financially justifiable.
500 euros for the gizmo every ten years, or 5000 once you smash your teeth out.
Unnecessary feature that lets bike companies that use Bosch charge more than they already do for overpriced bikes
Do people not not how to use brakes .. like ABS on bike isn't really needed ..
