Seth Alvo from Berm Peak Express showcases Bimotal, Inc.'s Elevate motor, transforming standard mountain bikes into eMTBs. In his testing at Kanuga Bike Park, he demonstrates the motor's ease of installation and performance, emphasizing its manageable weight and effective battery life. Priced at $1,995, the Elevate system can be quickly removed, making it a flexible option for riders seeking enhanced uphill assistance. Alvo notes that while the added weight helps with climbing, it might affect the bike's suspension during intense descents, especially for discerning riders.
The motor adds just over seven pounds to the bike, which can affect the suspension performance on descents, particularly for sensitive riders.
Alvo reports that the Elevate system allows for significant elevation gain with manageable battery life, completing five laps totaling 2,500 feet of elevation.
With the thumb throttle installed on the left bar, riders can control the Elevate's motor, balancing between pedal assist and full motor power.
The quick-release design of the Elevate motor allows for easy installation and removal, which can help safeguard performance during downhill rides.
