After a few years rocking my Egenius., and riding most of the bikes on the market, I pulled the trigger on a new Repeater.
Attachment 416320
It's the first Ebike that I have ridden that truly rides like a normal bike. I dont even notice the weight on it. When you lift your feet the bike comes with you just like a normal bike. Hell it even jumps like a real bike.
I built it up with a full AXS system and a Push rear (waiting on a vorspring conversion for the fork, but might just swap it out all together).
Whats really impressive is the difference between the new EP8 and the previous generation motor. Eco on the EP8 is the same as trail on the old, and Trail feels like the old boost. There isn't much difference now between trail and boost with the stock config. With the 630 battery, I can easily get 3500+ vert and 25+ miles. With a little battery management I think 4K on a charge is doable. This just might be the bike that causes me to finally sale the analog.
I still think all of the bike mfg's need to move the charge ports to a higher point on the frame (head tube or top tube) I also think angling the motor up would help increase BB clearance, but so far Scott is the only one to try that. Internal cable routing is still a bitch, thus I went axs (hell its only money), and I hate the internal cable routing in the headset ( hands down the dumbest idea in the history of bikes). If Shimano comes up with a 730 or 800 watt internal battery, I think that will finally be the point where theres more range than I physically want to ride in a day. Also its totally stupid Shimano is still using the 5 bar system for battery level. I am using a Garmin Edge to get the true battery % while riding.
