Orange Reveals a Gearbox Belt Driven eMTB Using the Intradrive Motor - Eurobike 2022
While Orange didn't have any brand new production-ready bikes to show off at this year's show it did have something special that could offer a look to the future. Orange was showing off a unique gearbox belt-driven eMTB that uses the Intradrive system that is made in Scotland. The gearbox eMTB motor offers eight gears with a range of 430% and 80Nm of torque. The system can be used with a chain, but for this bike it was built using a belt.
Interestingly, the Intradrive system can be attached to any bike built for Shimano EP8, so Orange told us it was really simple to fit the new motor and battery as it all just bolts into the frame as if it was a Shimano system.
To make this build even more interesting Orange decided to build it with mostly European-sourced components. To achieve this they sourced parts from Hope, Selle Italia, Exposure and more. The suspension was meant to be from Intend but unfortunately it couldn't be delivered in time for this week's show.
This bike isn't available to buy, but we were told that it has been a good test, and in terms of supply chain was a lot easier to source parts for the build.

But all my welders have backed out or are too busy haha. I could try to get Marino Bikes to do it, but then I'd have to wait 2 years

home built motor for pedal assist and Alfine gearbox. Well, I did, until I blew the Alfine to bits. They're not designed for the extra torque. It's a single speed now and is heaps of fun as a self shutting DH bike.
I'm currently working on a project to put a motor on a pinion gearbox. In theory it will work.
Room for a gearbox? Yup
Room for a water bottle? A what?

For the rest of us who just want to read about proper Mountain Bikes without a motor in it we will stay on here a bitch about E-Bike and quite rightly so!
A titmouse may have the words tit and mouse in its name, but it's still a bird.
\This reminds me of the people who think they can refuse to pay tax and cite the magna carta. No matter what factual information you present to them, they keep grinding away with their inaccuracies (although in their cases they get fines and go to prison).
PS, Is the big word making up for something that you lack is size?
Is your ad hominem making up for your lack of a cogent argument?
You can dress it up how you want, but no law or vehicle classification in any country agrees with you. Whether that will change is to be seen, but ebikes will never be motorbikes, it is more likely they will be separately classed as they don't meet any of the requirements to be considered a motorbike.
As @Jackaboo says, they may have a motor, and they may be a bike, but they are not motorbikes just because of matching semantics. The motors in motorbikes are internal combustion engines, so let's pretend they were called enginebikes. If they were called enginebikes your argument based on semantics would fall apart, because ebikes do not have engines in any sense of the word.
But, to paraphrase the Janitor, perhaps you think Lake Titicaca is filled with boobs and poop just because of its name?
Oh yes they are bucko.
The now and the future is eeb.
