Ribble have had a go as well, I can’t see where the motor is but it looks like the orbea power switch.

From the Ribble page,

"The competitive KOM Chaser, just set the power setting to Red and you have 40NM of additional power boosting you up to an Elite level climber."

Why not just drive up in a car?

It will make a mockery of all the silly Strava KoM business. Thank goodness I never weak minded enough to get sucked in

Guaranteed to boil the p*ss of a large section of their customer base

AMAZED that they've put that on their website.

What happens when all the elite riders have one too? (assuming some of them don't already)

the only way to beat KOMs then, would be to hide rockets up your arse

I just read a few pages from the Ribble website about this new e-bike range and I can't see anything about the bikes being road legal. I wonder what their status is in the eyes of the law?

Apparently there are now e bike options/settings for strava so they can have their own competition...
