New Wilier Filante Hybrid

[youngoldbloke]

WOW! I want one! Lots of developments of the Mahle System. New miniaturised X20 smaller motor, new cable free power supply to motor, bottom bracket torque/power sensor. Much better integration of the iwoc button on the stem, and PulsarOne. Much nicer looking range extender. Really raises the bar for e-road bikes. Unfortunately the price starts at 9300 euros!

It doesn't work like that - you are still limited to a maximum assisted speed of 15.5 mph. Riding with a group at 17, 18, 20+ mph its still up to your legs. Advantage on the hills, maybe, but If you ride like an a***hole you will lose friends pretty quickly
