Electric bicycles, although similar in many ways with standard bicycles, are still very much different in terms of architecture. In the past, a lot of e-bike makers have been able to get away with standard bike components. While this is indeed true with some lower-end e-bikes of today, more and more OEMs are developing products designed specifically for use on e-bikes.
We've seen it with tires with e-bike certification, suspension components beefed up to handle the extra weight, and even braking systems with more sophisticated tech such as ABS to boost safety even further. This time around, WTB, a household name in the cycling world, has developed a new saddle for electric bikers – one that may seem strange at first, but at the end of the day, simply makes tons of sense.
