Project Snowdon
the M2, Tiny but mighty
“Looks flimsy – don’t think I’d trust it for daily use”, “Looks tiny, must be uncomfortable on longer rides” and “Tiny wheels, tiny range. Prove me wrong!” are some of the comments that inspired Project Snowdon. We’ve put the M2 to the ultimate test to show you what this bike is capable of – cycled it up AND down Snowdon.
Disc brakes, 25% smaller when folded, a more powerful motor & 1kg lighter – should all help get us to the top.
Carrying
Weighs only 14.5kg (1kg lighter than our previous folding ebike) but will still be a test on Snowdon
Disc brakes
The upgraded disc brakes were put to the test on the rough terrain
doubters
Small wheels and tiny motor are just some of the comments we’re looking to put to rest once and for all.
Pushing the M2 to the limits of its design.
We’re really proud of the M2 and believe we’ve developed an amazing machine but we want to show just how capable it is.
It is true that the M2 wasn’t designed with Cycling Snowdon in mind but if it can survive this challenge, it should be more than capable on a daily commute.
The Challenge
Cycle the M2 up & down Snowdon.
We know that cycling the entire route isn’t possible, regardless of the type of bike you have. We want to cycle at least 60% of the total route up and down to show what the bike is made of.
The series of Snowdon videos shows, honestly, how the bike faired.
In numbers:
– 11.1km ascent
– 8.18km descent
– 975 metres of vertical climb
