Hey TPU crew,

With e-bikes becoming a massive trend, especially in Europe, I think it’d be cool to see more tech-focused coverage on them. Battery advancements, motor efficiency, smart integration (IoT, GPS tracking, anti-theft tech), and even performance tuning could make for some interesting reads.

Would love to hear what the community thinks. Do you guys use e-bikes? Would TPU-style deep dives on the tech side of things interest you?

Also, imagine if MSI or ASUS started making "ROG" or "AORUS" branded e-bikes... RGB pedals incoming.

No for the same reason TPU doesn't cover any other EV, it is outside the scope of this particular website.

I wouldn't mind technical articles, and would certainly welcome a micromobility/personal transporter subforum. I'm sure there are a number of users here who use PEVs on a regular basis.

But then again, TPU has always been about IT. Wouldn't car owners soon demand their own forums, and then motorcyclists? Where do we draw the line?

Why not just make a thread in Science and Technology for that discussion? Covering those things is just not up TPUs alley. It would require W1zz to hire specific new personnel to handle for very little reason - most people are not coming to TPU for e-bike news.

This is a suitable area for a discussion thread. I doubt we will be getting official articles or news regarding them, but feel free to start a discussion. I know of several people who use e-bikes and other personal transportation, so feel free to start a thread there.

Or in the Science and Tech forum as Onasi suggested.
