• [Cycling] SUV rollovers - compulsory helmets?

    From Spike@21:1/5 to All on Wed Dec 27 11:14:05 2023
    Thought the electric bike SUV trend was just a fad? Possibly not. Italian
    brand Thok is the latest to have a go at this all-terrain do-it-all style
    of e-bike, and it’s calling its creation the MIG e-S.

    […]

    Thok is an Italian brand that largely sticks to mountain biking, but the
    new MIG e-S is a new direction for them. It uses their MIG frame, which is
    an all-mountain eMTB, so think slack geometry and lots of suspension
    travel.

    […]

    It’s priced at £4,099 and for that you get a Shimano E7000 drive system
    with a 630Wh battery, 150mm travel in the fork and 140mm rear shock travel. It’s a pretty slack geometry, too, with a 66° steering angle.

    […]

    The rear rack can handle up to 12kg of luggage, and is MIK compatible. The front light is pretty intense at 600 lumens, the rear less so at 30 lumens.

    The weight of the bike without accessories is 23.8kg, but Thok hasn’t
    listed the weight with everything on there, so we reckon adding on a couple
    of kilos would result in a sensible estimate.
