SRAM introduce E-MTB specific drivetrain and brakeset

[Spoke101]

I think they did this to stop hippies saying that its a motorbike and too fast etc...

 

Did some recalculations because something was didn't look right.

at a cadence of 120(normal max):

14T = 21kph

18T = 27kph

 

This can not be right. They could be running an input and output shaft for the crank, thus your pedaling wont directly drive the chain. It will go through the gearbox first and then drive the chainring.

Do they really need a specific brakeset? Can't they just use codes?
