First bit says "Bird Cycles press release", I think you mean Airdrop bikes press release.
I think it should be Airdrop Cycles press release....... unless they have been taken over by Bird???
Pretty sure that Bird Edit MX is actually and Airdrop 😉
Should be Airdrop for the Edit, I think!
I think you need to edit the edit....
pretty sure Bird and Airdrop are two entirely different brands
Decent seatpost insertion and 200mm post mount on the Airdrop. I like the green!
Ah gad. I have very little brain power this week. Blame drugs.
Sorry Airdroppers!
Moving on ...
£10k, I know ... but the Whyte E-lyte does seem to be the first Ebike to be in touching distance weight-wise to a normal trail bike! I'm at the age now where a bit of assist is starting to appeal, but don't want the weight and cumbersomeness of full-fat-E. Hopefully, in 5 years or so time, when I'm likely to seriously be in the market for an ebike, costs will come down and reliability will have improved.
Is the latest Rise not sub 16kg?
Is the latest Rise not sub 16kg?
Quite possibly ... I don't pay very much attention to ebike launches.
