We saw something similar with bikes and parts in the 00s. Eventually, strength and durability went up and weight came down. Before that, we had some ludicrous, overbuilt bikes for those that were pushing them to the edge, but over time, they improved. E-bikes are going to continue to evolve pretty quickly for a while but while that happens, it stands to reason that overbuilt wheels and reinforced this and that just provides more durability.
