The question they attempt to answer in this episode is "what is up with these new light weight ebikes? Dave and Jonas (young, talented rider and video editor for www.2wheeldirtschool.com) took a quick trip to Phoenix to ride the new Pivot Shuttle SL which is equipped with the new Lightweight Fazua motor system. They then rode the new Pivot Shuttle LT to be able to compare and contrast it with a "full power" ebike equipped with the Shimano EP8 motor system. Aaron of www.mtbtune.com chimes in with technical specs on the various ebike systems discussed and gives his opinion on what role this will play in the future of mountain biking... or not.
