Man if I had the $$$, I'd be placing an order for that bike right now. I like that it comes with 160mm cranks. Makes total sense for an eBike.

Still a bit heavy for me, but not for a full power ebike, I guess. Orbea claim 46 pounds, but that's probably the smaller battery on the carbon LTD trim, which might not have what you want on it component wise. Once, configured properly, it's probably going to be closer to 50 pounds. Hefty.

First you people are too lazy to ride a regular bike, then an E-bike is too heavy to ride? At least I'm man enough to deal with my heavy ass E-bike as I soft pedal up vertical walls.🙂

the only time you notice is putting it on the rack, and they have ramps and walk mode for that now!

Full disclosure: I put the front tire on, then lifted the back on with the moterra.....

"You people"?!

Geez, can't even express an opinion about ebike weight on the "E-bikes are a thing" thread on this forum without sarcasm and vitriolic comments. Does the happy face emoji make it okay? I'm not up on the code.

I’m not really sure what’s happening here but can I be referred to as “they people?”
 
With all the 'new' electric / analog models coming out from Ibis, Transition, Santa Cruz, Yeti, etc.. the only game changers are the Pivot Shuttle SL and Trek Ex-E. All the rest of the new bikes seem to be a mid-cycle refresh with very little updates.
