Possibly there were Ebikes, as that is the future of city living, but just not shown.and am outraged no such ebike is featured in the video.
I have a Lightspeed titanium road bike. I don't know where you get the idea of flexibility from because mine is too stiff. It's exceptionally fast, but you feel every bump. My Giant carbon fibre road bike is the exact opposite. It's very comfortable and it absorbs the bumps, but it can't match the Lightspeed for speed.Possibly there were Ebikes, as that is the future of city living, but just not shown.
I would actually be surprised if there wasnt.
Another thing that struck me was many, both roadie/gravel and also cargo affairs, seem to be making their product in titanium.
Titanium = horrible stuff, completely unsuitable for bike manufacture(imho)
Really expensive, and it cracks, which isnt easy to reweld. Then we have the flexibility, which is probably the cause of many of the cracking issues they seem to suffer from.
So in the aspect of roadie, thats not good for power transfer, and in cargo/town, where heavy loads will be common, flexing would seriously limit the lifespan of the frame
Titanium has better fatigue resistance than both aluminium and steel. Titanium is also stiffer than aluminium. Maybe yours was fake titanium.That might be down to the type of Ti.
Mine were 6/4, which is flexible. So maybe you had the cheaper ones
Maybe mine was properly heat treated after welding and others weren't. Cro-mo also cracks if you don't heat treat it.Cracks on Ti frames is really really well known. So Im surprised you havent come across it.
