Just for fun, give good old Nick a review:

This is where I remind everyone that Yamaha bought the e bike division of Brose and if memory does not fail me, Brose owns stock in specialized that was part of the contract to build motor units for specialized.But I could be wrong.😑

Will be interesting to see if they slap a Yamaha Logo on them. Brose doesn’t have a great reputation so a rebrand could do them good and help move some units…
 
Sad that the guy was injured yes but I feel 0 sympathy for the mother who seems like she made no effort to get her kid under control. I also hope the kid faces legal consequences (I don't recall seeing any mentioned)

This only presents an issue if you have a large number of rear wheels w 148mm spacing and you are dying to regually swap them around. 157 is an advantange for balanced spoke tension and bracing angle. It also builds a stronger wheel.

I'm on my 5th super boost bike and it's been nothing but easy to own.

Chris Cocalis, founder of Pivot Cycles, is a key proponent of the Super Boost 157mm rear axle standard, designed to optimize mountain bike performance. Super Boost offers significant advantages, including stiffer and stronger wheels, increased tire clearance, better chainstay length options, and improved chainring clearance, particularly benefiting long-travel 29ers and enduro bikes.

Advantages of Super Boost (157mm) by Cocalis/Pivot:
  • Enhanced Strength/Stiffness: Widens the hub flange spacing by 4.5mm over standard Boost, resulting in stronger, stiffer wheels suited for aggressive riding.
  • Improved Clearance: Allows for wider tires (plus-sized) while accommodating shorter chainstays.
  • Superior Chainline: Provides better clearance between the tire, frame, and chainring, addressing clearance issues common with standard 148mm Boost.

Yea, I get that but I have several 27.5 plus wheels with 148 spacing. I prefer to run mulleted with 27.5 plus rear wheels( 38-40mm wide rims) and 2.8 tires. Just doesn’t make any sense to run shiny rear wheels on a e bike. Running plus tires on 30 mm rims is dumb.
