Purpose

Give internal sales, product, and training teams a single deck that explains the technical difference between E-3 PRO and E-3H PRO with a clear architecture comparison, structured spec breakdown, and repeatable talk track.

Audience

Internal sales, product, and training teams who need to explain the trade-off between mid-motor and hub-motor configurations.

Narrative Shape

  1. State the training objective and source basis
  2. Clarify the two drivetrain architectures
  3. Compare the technical differences row by row
  4. Reinforce the comparison with diagrams and product imagery
  5. Turn the differences into positioning guidance

Design Direction

Use the OVES dark presentation language and the oves-dark-basic page shell with compact technical comparison layouts, disciplined content frames, and high-contrast training readability.
