@OldManBike Sorry to hear you're upset with Ibis!   I don't really get it, what did we lose?  I understand not wanting to ride an ebike for yourself, but why is it polarizing? I realize you are not alone, but I don't understand it ruining a good relationship. The same people that made the bikes you love designed and built the Oso. It was one of the hardest projects we've ever done. We're a small crew and it was a huge project for us made that much more difficult by the pandemic.  In the same period we managed to build our factory and get handmade USA production going on the new Exie. The entire process is reimagined in order to save energy, improve finish quality and reduce impact on the environment. The whole place is self powered with solar on the roof. If you're ever in the area, please stop by and say hi, demo some bikes, visit the factory to see carbon frames being made or just let us know what's bugging you ; ) Best
