Singletracks Reviews Elevate

Thanks to Singletracks for reviewing Elevate.  Always nice to hear that others appreciate all the hard work we have put in:

Overall, the Bimotal Elevate system is much more refined than I expected it to be, both in terms of how it looks and how everything fits together. The installation instructions are excellent, and the system works exactly as promised.

We're also happy to see that they appreciated the flexibility that Elevate offers:

Ricco and business partner Neil Flock tell me that converting a favorite mountain bike is just one of the reasons customers are interested in the Elevate system. Electrified versions of specialty bikes like tandems and gearbox-driven bikes have been slow to market, leaving customers few, if any, options. Then there are buyers who already own a $5,000 bike and aren’t able to spend another $5,000 or more for an electric bike but are willing to invest a couple thousand dollars in the Bimotal Elevate to keep up with friends who ride electric. For still others, a dual-purpose bike saves precious space in the garage or apartment, or it’s a way to share a single battery and motor among a fleet of traditional bikes they already own.

A less obvious argument for an e-bike retrofit kit, but perhaps a more interesting one, is that it allows riders to adapt their bike to various trail use regulations. Because the Bimotal Elevate can be removed in under a minute without the need for tools, buyers can choose to ride electric on some trails and mechanical on others.
