I’m joined by Canyon’s mountain bike engineering team manager, Moritz Ströer, to chat all things gravity eBikes. Hear Moritz’s thoughts on why eBikes weren’t initially great for gravity based riding. We talk about how eBikes have evolved and what has enabled them to become such a great tool for getting your gravity fix. Find out how and why the kinematics differ from regular bikes and why the kinematic on an eBike can actually be better. We chat about the future of eBike racing, Moritz shares some advice on choosing battery size and much more. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Moritz Ströer.
