Are there any new ideas left in bike and e-bike design? That’s a question this week’s news seems to throw up more than once. Giant’s latest e-mtb is an update on an existing model – albeit an extremely high tech one that promises to take performance to an even higher level with the introduction of the company’s latest mid-drive. Elsewhere the Asian firm Fiido have clearly been ‘inspired’ by a popular design from the one of the US’s leading e-bike manufacturers and there are suggestions a frame material that was tried and didn’t succeed in the1980s is being tried again. It brings a whole new meaning to the buzzword circular economy….
