bulto58 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I could be in the market for a electric trials bike. like the EM 5.7 , is there any upgrades from the 2017, is the 2018 out yet ?. EM web site or Facebook page don't give much new info. I do like what I'm hearing on the new Mecatecno T18. any info from you electric bike guys out there.

micm Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 There is a short movie clip of the Mecatecno T18 on the Mecatecno Facebook page, scroll down to the video marked 'Mecatecno Passion' It rocking a skate park somewhere on the Peninsula. The music is irritating (to me anyway) but it gives a good idea of the bike's capabilities with a decent pilot. I was told that EM's interests are with other projects and works not the 5.7 so not that keen on evolving it, a pity. The electric Gasser/Torrot is super powerful and if it ever appears may even have a form of traction control taking feedback from the driven wheel to the CPU. https://www.facebook.com/Mecatecno 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micm Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Thanks also for the link. I don't see it mentioning what might be a bit of a deal breaker in that blurb. That is their new PELS system. It is said to be a progressive electronic version of a clutch and so the left hand lever is no longer an off/on switch. Quotes from the EM factory recently ...'The new PELS is a real improvement, it doesn't work anymore as an ON / OFF switch, it is progressive, you can adjust it.' And Masso, Salt Spring Island, a great name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
