I can’t say how much weight? Maybe the extra magnets and power are still useful for achieving the 120 Nm of torque? All in all, it rides well and is positioned low and center for good balance, it isn’t silent but most geared mid-drive motors produce some noise. It might also mean that manufacturing costs are kept down because only one production line has to be setup… but on the other hand it means that unnecessary magnets, copper and weight is present on the 250 watt “programmed” version and that bugs me. On the one hand, this might mean that all motors are capable of powerful output and thus sturdier. I’m told that the motor system on all Spitzing ebikes is physically the same and that the change in wattage output (from 250 to 800 nominal) is based on software.

There’s no throttle here like you’d find on the Stealth Bomber and weighing in at just under 60 pounds it’s half as heavy, and that means pedaling is actually enjoyable and useful! This thing is truly a bicycle and as such, you can get it in the street legal 250 watt low speed electric bike design satisfying Class 1 in Europe and the US (usable on streets, paths and trails) as well as Class 3 speed pedalec (capable of 28mph on-road use) and Class 4 scooter / motorcycle setup (requiring a license and reaching 40+ mph). Basically, two or three times the power of most off-road ebikes… But with that said, the Spitzing (named for a mountain peak in Germany) remains true to the pedal assist designs common in Europe.
While the starting price of $9,000 USD can be a shocker at first glance, you’re really getting the power and quality of a minimalist motorcycle with solid thru axles, 150+ mm suspension (front and rear), hydraulic disc brakes and 120 Newton meters of torque. Leveraging high end carbon fiber frame elements for reduced weight, a Lithium-ion battery pack that’s nearly double the size of most “average” electric bikes and a mid-drive motor that achieves balance and improved torque by leveraging the 10 speed (or optional NuVinci) cassette, it’s a premium offering. The M1 Sporttechnik Spitzing is an electric bike that’s extremely rugged, powerful and flexible.
