Great idea for ebike frames

[KirstinS]

Another day , another mid motor

But, the battery on this does look way sleeker

For Bosch and esteps where a dedicated frame needs designing around it anway......this is a no brainer forehead slap moment ! Why didn't we think of this !

Or am I missing something?

Have a look at the Brose motored bikes --- BH emotion, Bulls, Specialized, Scott - they all have well integrated batteries into the frame with a lightweight motor claiming 90nm of Torque...

Yes, there's been a few like this, but as ever there are disadvantages. Chiefly they are being tied to the maker for batteries at any price they wish to charge and the possibility of discontinuation or the company closing leaving no battery supply. This has happened before.
