00:00This is the BMC T-Machine 01 Amp and it is the lightest e-road bike that I've
00:06ever ridden. It weighs 9.4 kilos and it's a lot of the reason why I'm traveling up
00:11this Swiss mountain as fast as a pro. So let me run you through some stats.
00:16Despite weighing less than most analog road bikes you'll find a TQ Systems HPR
00:2140 mid-drive motor hiding in the bottom bracket and that can provide up to 200
00:26watts of assistance. Now BMC says that should make your power to weight around
00:31160% better. Of course just by looking at it you can probably tell this is based
00:37very heavily on BMC's T-Machine SLR and that means a frame weight of just 700
00:43grand. In the down tube hiding is a 300 watt hour battery you can also extend that
00:50with a range extender which fits into one of these bottle cages. Now I can keep an
00:55eye on the range using this little display on the top tube. So currently I'm in
00:59mid mode but then with a touch of the Di2 buttons I can go up to turbo mode. I've
01:06got 80% charge left so that should be more than enough for this 50k ride.
