Hiki i nā paikikala mauna uila ke hoʻokuke koke iā ʻoe i ka mauna a hoʻokuke koke iā ʻoe i luna, e ʻae ana iā ʻoe e hauʻoli i ka leʻaleʻa o ka iho ʻana. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kālele i ka piʻi ʻana i nā pali ʻoi loa a me nā pali loea loa hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa, a i ʻole ma ka ʻakaʻaka ʻana ma kahi kokoke e lōʻihi a wikiwiki hoʻi. ʻO ka hiki ke uhi koke i ka honua ʻo ia hoʻi hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i waho a ʻimi i nā wahi āu e noʻonoʻo ʻole ai.
Hāʻawi kēia mau paikikala iā ʻoe e holo ma nā ʻano i hiki ʻole ke hana ʻia, a i ka lilo ʻana o ka hoʻolālā i mea maʻalahi, ʻoi aku ka hoʻokūkū o kā lākou lawelawe ʻana me nā paikikala mauna kuʻuna.
No ka ʻike hou aku e pili ana i nā mea e nānā ai i ke kūʻai ʻana i ka eMTB, e ʻoluʻolu e heluhelu i ke alakaʻi a ka mea kūʻai ma lalo o kēia ʻatikala. A i ʻole, e ʻoluʻolu e nānā i kā mākou alakaʻi ʻano paikikala uila e koho i ke paikikala kūpono iā ʻoe.
ʻO kēia ka paikikala mauna uila maikaʻi loa i koho ʻia e ka hui hoʻāʻo BikeRadar. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kipa i kā mākou waihona piha o nā loiloi paikikala uila.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Marin i ka Alpine Trail E i ka hopena o 2020, ʻo ia ka paikikala mauna uila hoʻokuʻu piha mua o ka brand Kaleponi. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ʻo ka mea e pono ai ke kakali i mua, ʻo Alpine Trail E kahi eMTB ikaika, leʻaleʻa a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi i noʻonoʻo pono ʻia e hāʻawi i nā kikoʻī kūpono i ke kumukūʻai (nā mea hoʻopau haʻalulu kiʻekiʻe, nā ʻōnaehana hoʻoili Shimano a me nā ʻāpana brand).
Loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi mōlina alumini me kahi hahau 150mm me kahi ʻaoʻao iho i lalo, a hāʻawi ka motika EP8 hou a Shimano i ka mana.
ʻO ka Alpine Trail E2 ka home o nā ʻano alahele like ʻole a hoʻokō i ka ʻōlelo hoʻohiki a Marin e lawe mai nā paikikala iā ʻoe i ka minoʻaka.
Ua hoʻolālā hou ʻia i Malaki 2020, ua hana ʻia ke kiʻikuhi nui o Canyon Spectral: ON i ke kalapona me nā huinakolu hope me nā mea hao ma kahi o nā mea hao āpau, a aia i loko kāna pākahiko 504Wh. E like me kona mua, ua like kona nui me ka huila lawaiʻa, me ka huila mua o 29 ʻīniha a me ka huila hope o 27.5 ʻīniha. Ma kēia kumu hoʻohālike CF 7.0, ʻo ka hahau huila hope he 150mm, a ua hoʻohana ʻia ka mea hoʻohemo haʻalulu RockShox Deluxe Select e ka motika Shimano Steps E8000, ma o ka manipulator Shimano XT 12-wikiwiki.
Hāʻawi ka motika uila i ka mana kūpono no nā piʻi pali, a ʻoi aku ka hoihoi o ka manaʻo o ka holo wikiwiki ma mua o ka hehi wāwae.
Ua hoʻāʻo pū mākou i ke kikoʻī kiʻekiʻe loa, £6,499 Spectral: ON CF 9.0. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o kāna mau ʻāpana, akā manaʻo mākou ʻaʻohe kumu ʻē aʻe e koho ai iā ia ma mua o 7.0.
Hoʻohana ʻia ka Giant's Trance E+1 e ka motika Yamaha SyncDrive. Hiki i kāna pākahiko 500Wh ke hāʻawi i ka laulā holo moana lawa. Loaʻa iā ia ʻelima mau hana kōkua pae paʻa, akā ua waiho mai ke ʻano kōkua akamai iā mākou i kahi manaʻo hohonu loa. Aia ka motika ma kēia ʻano. ʻOkoʻa ka mana me kou ʻano holo. Hāʻawi ia i ka mana i ka wā e piʻi ai, a hoʻokuʻu i ka wā e holo ai a iho paha ma ka ʻāina pālahalaha.
Ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ke koena o nā kikoʻī ma nā hiʻohiʻona papa lua, me ka powertrain Shimano Deore XT a me nā paleki a me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o Fox. ʻOi aku ke kaumaha o Trance E + 1 Pro ma mua o 24 kg, akā ua kaumaha loa ke kaumaha.
Ua loaʻa iā mākou ke alakaʻi alanui uila maikaʻi loa, hybrid a me ke alakaʻi paikikala pelu i loiloi ʻia e ka hui hoʻāʻo BikeRadar.
Ua hana hou ʻia ka hoʻolālā no ka overvoltage GLP2 o Lapierre 160mm, kahi e kālele ana i ka heihei hoʻomanawanui. Hoʻohana ia i ka motika Bosch Performance CX o ka hanauna ʻehā, a he geometry hou aʻe, kaulahao pōkole a me ka ʻaoʻao mua lōʻihi.
Ua hoʻokomo ʻia kahi pākahiko waho 500Wh ma lalo o ka motika uila e hoʻokō i ka hoʻokaʻawale kaumaha maikaʻi, ʻoiai ʻo ka lawelawe ʻana e hoʻohui pū ana i ka pane wikiwiki a me ke kūpaʻa.
Ua hoʻi ka inoa ʻo Santa Cruz Bullit i ka makahiki 1998, akā ua ʻokoʻa loa ke kaʻa paikikala i hoʻolālā hou ʻia mai ke kaʻa paikikala mua - ʻo Bullit i kēia manawa he 170mm touring eMTB me kahi kiʻikuhi kalapona fiber a me ke anawaena o ka huila hybrid. I ka wā o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana, ua waiho ka hiki ke piʻi o ke kaʻa paikikala i ka manaʻo hohonu loa - ʻo ka motika Shimano EP8 e hoʻolilo iā ʻoe i piʻi i ka puʻu me he mea lā ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻōki ʻia i kekahi ʻano.
He akamai loa nō hoʻi ʻo Bullit i ka wā e iho ana i lalo, ʻoiai ma nā ala wikiwiki a ʻano ʻē, akā, ʻo nā ʻāpana lohi, paʻa a ʻoi aku ka piʻi e pono ai ka nānā hou aku.
ʻEhā mau kumu hoʻohālike i loko o ka moʻo. Hoʻomaka ke kumukūʻai o ka Bullit CC R e hoʻohana ana i ka motika Shimano's Steps E7000 ma £6,899 / US$7,499 / 7,699 Euros, a piʻi ke kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe loa i £10,499 / US$11,499 / 11,699 Euros. Hōʻike ʻia ka laina Bullit CC X01 RSV ma aneʻi.
Hoʻohana ka 140mm mua a me hope E-Escarpe i ka ʻōnaehana motika Shimano Steps like me ka Vitus E-Sommet, a me ka ʻō mua Fox 36 Factory drawer luna, ka drivetrain Shimano XTR 12-wikiwiki a me nā kaila mua Maxxis Assegai paʻa. Ma ka eMTB hou loa, hele mai ʻo Vitus me kahi pākahi waho, a ʻo kāna kolamu dropper Brand-X he huahana honua, akā ʻo nā kikoʻī i koe ʻo ia ka drawer luna.
Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka sprocket niho 51 ma ka cassette no kahi paikikala uila, a he paʻakikī ke hoʻohuli ma lalo o ka mana.
Ua lanakila ʻo Nico Vouilloz lāua ʻo Yannick Pontal i ka hoʻokūkū paikikala uila ma Lapierre Overvolt GLP 2 Elite, kahi i hoʻolālā ʻia no ke kahua e kū mai ana o ka heihei kōkua kaʻa. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kumukūʻai o ke kinikini kalapona ma mua o kekahi o kona mau hoa paio, a ma ke kahua, he akamai ʻo Overvolt a makemake nui e ʻoluʻolu.
I ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana, ʻo ka palena palena pākaukau liʻiliʻi e pili ana i nā mea hoʻokūkū, a he paʻakikī paha ka piʻi ʻana i ka ʻaoʻao mua.
Hoʻohana ʻo Merida i ke kiʻikuhi huila kalapona like ma ka eOne-Forty e like me ka huelo lōʻihi ʻo eOne-Sixty, akā ʻo ka hopena huakaʻi 133mm e hoʻolilo i ka pahu hoʻonohonoho i ʻoi aku ka ʻoi aku ka piʻi a hoʻonui i ke kihi o ka paipu poʻo a me ka paipu noho. Ua lako ʻia ka motika Shimano The Steps E8000 me kahi pākahiko 504Wh i hoʻohui ʻia i loko o ka paipu i lalo, hiki ke hāʻawi i ka mana a me ke ahonui kūpono.
He ʻeleu loa ia ma nā ala kahe, akā, ʻo ka pōkole o ke kau ʻana a me ke ʻano o mua e hoʻopaʻakikī ai i ka wā o nā iho pali.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole loa e wehewehe ʻia ʻo Crafty he ola, he 25.1 kg wale nō ke kaumaha i kā mākou mau hoʻāʻo a he lōʻihi ka wheelbase, he paʻa loa ia, manaʻo paʻa loa i ka wā e holo wikiwiki ana, a he paʻa maikaʻi loa i ke kihi. ʻOiai he kiʻekiʻe a ʻoi aku ka ikaika o nā mea holo e makemake iā Crafty ma muli o kona hiki ke lawelawe maʻalahi i ka ʻāina loea, ʻo nā mea holo liʻiliʻi a makaʻu paha e paʻakikī ke wili i ke kaʻa a holo me ka ikaika.
Ua helu mākou i ke kiʻikuhi o Turbo Levo ma ke ʻano he hoʻokahi o nā mea maikaʻi loa i kēia manawa, me kona ʻano geometry maikaʻi loa a me kahi manaʻo holo e kokoke ana i kahi scooter; makemake pū mākou i ka motika 2.1 maʻalahi o Spesh, ʻoiai ʻaʻole maikaʻi kona torque e like me ka hoʻokūkū.
Eia nō naʻe, ua hoka mākou i ke koho ʻana o nā ʻāpana, nā paleki paʻa ʻole, a me nā kaila pulu, ka mea i pale aku iā Turbo Levo mai ka helu kiʻekiʻe.
ʻOiai ʻo ka hanauna mua o ka eMTB e pili ana i ke alahele me ka mamao o ka huakaʻi ma kahi o 150 mm, ʻoi aku ka laulā o nā kumuhana paikikala mauna i uhi ʻia i kēia manawa. ʻO kēia mau mea e komo pū ana me nā hiʻohiʻona nui loa i hoʻolālā ʻia no ka hoʻohana ʻana i lalo, me Specialized Turbo Kenovo lāua ʻo Cannondale Moterra Neo; ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, aia nā mea hoʻomāmā, e like me Specialized Turbo Levo SL lāua ʻo Lapierre eZesty, e hoʻohana ana i nā mea hoʻomāmā: like me nā paikikala uila. ʻO ka motika mana haʻahaʻa a me ka pila liʻiliʻi. Hiki i kēia ke hōʻemi i ke kaumaha o ke paikikala a hoʻonui i kona agility ma nā mīkini kaumaha.
E ʻike ʻoe i nā huila eMTB 29-ʻīniha a i ʻole 27.5-ʻīniha, akā i ke ʻano o "Mulyu Jian", ʻo nā huila mua he 29 ʻīniha a ʻo nā huila hope he 27.5 ʻīniha. Hāʻawi kēia i ke kūpaʻa maikaʻi ma ke alo, ʻoiai ʻo nā huila hope liʻiliʻi e hāʻawi i ka maʻalahi maikaʻi. No ka laʻana, ʻo Canyon Spectral: ON a me Vitus E-Escarpe.
He mau paikikala hoʻokuʻu piha ka hapa nui o nā eMTB, akā hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa nā paikikala paʻakikī uila no nā kumu ma waho o ke alanui, e like me Canyon Grand Canyon: ON a me Kinesis Rise.
ʻO nā koho kaulana no nā motika eMTB ʻo Bosch, Shimano Steps a me Yamaha, ʻoiai ke ʻike nui ʻia nei nā motika māmā a Fazua ma nā paikikala e mālama ana i ke kaumaha. Hiki i ka motika Bosch Performance Line CX ke hāʻawi i ka 600W o ka mana kiʻekiʻe a me 75Nm o ka torque no ka piʻi maʻalahi. Me kahi manaʻo hoʻokele kūlohelohe a me nā hiki ke hoʻokele pila maikaʻi, he mea kupaianaha ke ola pila o ka ʻōnaehana.
He koho kaulana nō ka ʻōnaehana ʻo Shimano's Steps, ʻoiai ua hoʻomaka ia e hōʻike i kona au, me ka mana haʻahaʻa a me ka torque ma mua o nā mea hoʻokūkū hou. Hāʻawi pū kāna pākahiko liʻiliʻi iā ʻoe i kahi laulā liʻiliʻi, akā loaʻa nō iā ia nā pono o ke kaumaha māmā, ka hoʻolālā liʻiliʻi a me ka hiki ke hoʻoponopono i ka mana hoʻopuka.
Eia nō naʻe, ua hoʻolauna ʻo Shimano i kahi motika EP8 hou. Hoʻonui kēia i ka torque i 85Nm, me ka hoʻemi ʻana i ke kaumaha o kahi 200g, e hoʻemi ana i ke kū'ē ʻana o ka pedaling, e hoʻonui ana i ka laulā a hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ka Q factor. Ke lilo nei nā paikikala mauna uila hou i mea kaulana.
I ka manawa like, hoʻohana ʻo Giant i nā motika Yamaha Syncdrive Pro ma kāna eMTB. Hoʻohana kāna ʻano Smart Assist i kahi pūʻulu o ʻeono mau sensor, me kahi sensor gradient, e helu i ka nui o ka mana e hāʻawi ai i kahi kūlana i hāʻawi ʻia.
He koho kaulana ka ʻōnaehana motika Fazua no nā paikikala uila alanui, a hiki ke loaʻa iā ia ma nā eMTB e like me Lapierre eZesty i hala koke aku nei. He māmā, he emi ka mana a he liʻiliʻi ka pila.
ʻO ke ʻano kēia, pono ʻoe e uku i ka ikaika hehi wāwae hou aku, akā e hōʻemi kēia i ke kaumaha o ke paikikala i kahi pae kokoke i ke ʻano hoʻohālike hoʻokele ponoʻī. Eia kekahi, hiki iā ʻoe ke wehe loa i ka pila a holo paha i ke paikikala me ka ʻole o ka pila.
Loaʻa iā Specialized kāna ʻāpana motika ponoʻī, kahi kūpono no ka hapa nui o nā paikikala uila. Hoʻohana kāna paikikala kea Turbo Levo SL i kahi motika uila SL 1.1 haʻahaʻa-torque a me kahi pākahiko 320Wh, kahi e hōʻemi ai i ke kōkua a hoʻemi i ke kaumaha.
I mea e piʻi ai ʻoe i ka mauna, hoʻoulu i ka lawa ʻana o ka mana a hāʻawi i ka mamao kūpono o ka hoʻokele ʻana, he nui ka mana o ka pila o nā paikikala mauna uila ma kahi o 500Wh a 700Wh.
ʻO ka pila kūloko i loko o ka paipu i lalo e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i ka uea maʻemaʻe, akā aia kekahi mau eMTB me nā pila o waho. Hoʻemi pinepine kēia i ke kaumaha, a ma nā hiʻohiʻona e like me Lapierre Overvolt, ʻo ia hoʻi hiki ke kau ʻia nā pila ma lalo a ʻoi aku ka nui.
Eia nō naʻe, e like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma luna, ua ʻike ʻia nā eMTB me nā pila liʻiliʻi ma lalo o 250Wh. Kūʻai aku lākou i loko o kahi palena palena e hoʻokō ai i kahi kaumaha māmā a me ka hiki ke hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ka lawelawe ʻana.
Ua holo paikikala ʻo Paul mai kona wā ʻōpio a ua kākau ʻo ia i nā ʻatikala e pili ana i ka ʻenehana paikikala no kahi kokoke i ʻelima mau makahiki. Ua paʻa ʻo ia i ka lepo ma mua o ka hana ʻia ʻana o ka ʻiliʻili, a ua holo ʻo ia i kāna paikikala ma waena o South Downs, ma ke ala lepo ma waena o Chilterns. Ua hoʻāʻo pū ʻo ia i ka holo paikikala mauna cross-country ma mua o ka hoʻi ʻana i ka iho ʻana i nā paikikala.
Ma ke komo ʻana i kāu mau kikoʻī, ʻae ʻoe i nā ʻōlelo a me nā kūlana a me ke kulekele pilikino o BikeRadar. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kāpae i kāu kau inoa i kēlā me kēia manawa.
