Elevate Featured on Loam Wolf

We spent a day hanging out with the Loam Wolf crew late last year to get them setup with Elevate and shoot footage for this Tech Check. 

I consider the Bimotal Elevate motor system to be a rad concept for a rider that has their dream bike but wants to be able to complete more than 1 lap after work. The overall integration is fairly neat for a bolt-on system, and power delivery was solid. When it comes to power, the Bimotal Elevate sits between a full-power electric bike and an SL eBike. It has significantly more initial kick than the SL’s due to the 70Nm of torque, coming close to the full power Shimano EP801 eBike drive unit.

I was full gas all the time of course, range isn’t typically my main consideration. Even mounted to a Propain Spindrift with a 7-speed close ratio cassette, I was able to climb anything I wanted, with next to no heavy breathing. It was pretty wild to be zipping up climbs with a dual crown!

Overall using the Bimotal Elevate system was a breeze, and it was super cool to get more time behind the bars of a downhill bike!

The video they made gives a great overview of the system.  Stay tuned for an upcoming long term review!
