Stokemonkey Further Update

The bikes that we are riding down are equipped with all kind of projects that we've been developing: from weight optimized direct drive thru-axle hub motors to programmable 95% efficient universal chargers, to field oriented sine wave motor controllers. And one item that we're really keen to put through its paces is the 2nd generation right side drive Stokemonkey.

We had anticipated releasing the new Stokemonkey earlier this year, but as we worked on it we noticed an opportunity to include an integrated torque sensing capability as well. This redesign enables proportional pedal assist modes and human power readouts without the need for a special THUN bottom bracket, and will hopefully be worth the wait.
