ENGWE’s new E26 3.0 e-bike packs dual motors, full suspension, and half a deer

This isn't really a fit for Retrofit Relay, since it's about an electric bike rather than a home energy upgrade. But here's a plain summary of the news:

ENGWE has released a new all-terrain electric bike, the E26 3.0, aimed at off-road riding rather than commuting. It has two hub motors putting out a combined 2,000 watts of peak power, fat tires, front and rear suspension, and hydraulic disc brakes. Its battery holds 960 watt-hours, with a claimed range of up to 100 miles using one motor on the lowest assist setting, or 70 miles running both motors, though real-world range is usually lower than manufacturer claims.

The bike's power and top speed (28 mph on throttle, 31 mph with pedal assist) put it above the limits most states use to define a legal e-bike, so riders need to check local rules before taking it on public roads or trails. It may be fine on private land or trails without those restrictions, but many public trails do enforce e-bike class limits.

At 86 pounds, it's heavy — not something to carry up stairs easily. It launches at $1,799, discounted from a listed $2,399. For that price it comes with dual motors, suspension, big brakes, fenders, a rear rack, and a payload capacity of 400 pounds. This is a niche recreational vehicle, not a home energy product, so it has no bearing on insulation, heating, or rebate programs covered here.
