RidingAgain Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 With this kind of marketing effort I don't think it'll be long before these e-bikes are mainstream — especially if the price comes down as production increases. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/video-veronique-sandler-and-matt-jones-ride-the-new-marin-mount-vision.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only it came with a monkey that punched you in the face every time you looked at it.

But yeah, a simple glance would have everyone thinking it's an ebike. I think I'd be self conscious about riding it. Looks heavy too.

Tree Magnet Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Okay - I watched the video for a bit because...bike vs. work. Anyway, that thing is ugly but not as ugly as one of those linkage forks. The video is awful but that chick is an awesome rider. The voice over makes me cringe and I have now officially sworn off ever buying a Marin. It was like they were playing a drinking game to see how many cool sounding engineering words they could put into 30 seconds that in no way translate to my wanting to buy their product. WTF.

ATXZJ Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) You should watch the video of the rear flexing enough to bind up the shock. There's so many other (proven) options out there it's amazing somebody actually bankrolled that project for marin. On the e-bike tip, looks like another is being put to use for a good cause: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/ride-concepts-hires-paul-basagoitia-as-team-manager-and-rick-reed-as-brand-manager.html Edited March 7, 2019 by ATXZJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATXZJ Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 It looks like the lower link and base of the suspension where the cylinder is, are too close together and will create a lot of stress on bearings and materials. With that close proximity all that lateral flex gets transmitted into the next link, the shock. I would guess this is why they made the links that attach the swingarm to the shock thin so they would also flex with the swingarm rather than transmitting that sideload to the shock assembly.  My 2c   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
