I like it ! Setup like a commuter but lose the rack, guards, lights and it looks like an eCyclocross bike...... Though that really would be cheating !

Like the frame/battery design in particular

Not as striking as the Giant.

it'll have this colour frame when it comes in. We just only had a white one to build up for the NEC.

So this colour.

The lack of serviceable parts for Bosch motors would put me off buying another bike with a Bosch motor. So my money will be going to Giant with a Yamaha, whether parts for those motors will be easier to source I'm not sure, I had got the impression the situation would be better, I'd better check.

I too prefer the Giant, double chainring useful around here, rack integrated into the mudguard on the Quick-e+ which I prefer to the Road-e, flat bars and bar ends are more my thing these days.

I'd not spotted those, thanks. Yes probably suit me better these days too.

To reply more fully to your question @KTM Bike Industries UK I think it is really great that you a producing a bike specifically for a small market segment. Shows you really are listening to your clients.

Indeed, good to see what I believe is KTM's first drop-bar e-bike. Something carbon with a Yamaha motor would be even better.
