    Motor Torque (Nm) 8

    Wow, that’s a weak motor. To put it in context, the lowest spec Bosch or Bafang motor provides about 40 Nm, with the better motors providing about 80 Nm. This 8 Nm motor will not have enough torque to go up even the gentlest of upward slope. However, at this price, you are paying for the battery and getting a free bike with it.

    • mrvaluepack on 11/07/2022 - 21:06

      • ShoeyAU on 11/07/2022 - 21:34

        the smaller the wheel, the lower the final gearing which makes it better for slopes.

    • devpress on 11/07/2022 - 21:09

      But what exactly is the battery good for, if that's really what you're getting for the price?

      The gentlest of upward slopes… my arch enemy.

    • UncleRico on 11/07/2022 - 21:35
      +1

      Hard to believe that's correct.

      My Lietner has an 80Nm XOFO which I absolutely love. At one tenth the supposed power, this thing wouldn't get out of the driveway. Although to be fair, the Leitner was more than four times the price…

      Some online video reviews show this bike moving along at a fair clip, so I'm dubious about it only having 1/10th the power.

      Will be interesting to compare the two once it arrives…

    • tunzafun001 on 11/07/2022 - 21:39
      +2

      Hmm, the 8Nm seems very low.

      The average person standing on the pedals would produce around 100Nm, but at a slow rate RPM.

      There must be more to it (ie revolution speed, brushless etc). 8Nm doesn't seem enough to move it on the flat?

    • bargaino on 11/07/2022 - 22:00
      +2

      8Nm is 24N at the tyre. It will barely move on a 3% slope.

      But you'd need to be doing 36km/hr to get 240W from 8Nm. Those specs do not add up. 468W max!?

    • IM-Cheap on 11/07/2022 - 22:11
      +1

      I have the bike and think it works fine on a gentle upward slope though I'm fairly light and fit so cant say for someone heavier. Good for the price - I got it recently on an eofy sale.

      • tunzafun001 on 11/07/2022 - 22:16

        Cheers, what about steep slopes plus pedalling? Was going to get one for the other half (as she can't pedal around here due to it being quite steep. Was hoping this would provide some pedal assist, but 8Nm doesn't sound much.

        • Repposh on 11/07/2022 - 22:49
          +1

          It's got 3 levels of pedal assist so just set level to high to go up steep slope. If starting climb with any speed most slopes should be fine. Might be more difficult from a standing start.

    the the motor is tiny and it's only a single speed.
    it's will only be good for very flat paths

  • ShoeyAU on 11/07/2022 - 21:20
    +19

    The pro is you're paying $299 for around $400~500 worth of ebike. The con is $400~500 of ebike is still, politely speaking, pants.

    With this being single speed with a hub motor, it will struggle going up hills negating one of the benefits of an ebike in the first place. Perhaps thats why it is spec'd with 26in wheels to lower the final gearing, but I can't see how the motor can both reach 25kmh on flats and be of any use on hills more than 3-5% gradient.

    The front brakes are V-brakes, fairly outdated, but if we put that aside I don't even see V-brakes in the rear which suggest they might be drum brakes. You are going to have a hard time getting those replaced although arguably they can last the life of the bike.

    Which then leaves us with the value if it is parted out. The battery, controller & motor is probably be worth the $300 alone, which is essentially what you are buying here. But to harvest the hub motor you will most likely need to rebuild the wheel.

    I guess this is okay to get someone into bike riding on dedicated cycleways seeing you are getting the frame, wheels etc for 'free', but it won't be useful anywhere beyond that IMO.

      Rear brakes are not disc brakes. They're the same set up as the front.

      • ShoeyAU on 11/07/2022 - 22:36
        +2

        I didn't say they are disc - I said I believe they are drums. The front is V-brake, and the rear is drums - ancient tech. Zoom in on the 3rd photo the brake cable is going into the hub. Drum brakes are integrated into the hub itself.

    • xdigger on 12/07/2022 - 08:58

      I got this for $299 but was thinking of parting out the e-bike kit to my existing hybrid bike, just wondering if a local bike shop could do that for me, and if its worth the effort?

      • ShoeyAU on 12/07/2022 - 11:06
        +1

        IMO its not worth the effort. My reasons are:

        1) It might be hard to find a bike shop that's willing to do custom work on BYO parts - from a safety standpoint they need to stand behind parts & labour, and in this case, the parts from their perspective are from an unknown origin. They are busy as they are with servicing their own sold bikes.

        2) The hub motor is an all-in-one unit of motor, drum brakes & single-speed freewheel. It likely won't be compatible with disc brakes or a cassette.

        3) Rebuilding a wheel is a fairly big effort. You need to source a rim, spokes whose length matches the hub & rim, and someone to spend at least 1-2hrs lacing up & truing the wheel. Most bike shops are focused on standard servicing, assembling new bikes or replacing bolt-on parts. Wheelbuilding is usually in the realm of enthusiasts so it'd be a premium in labour.

    I have this bike - paid double the price only a month ago so my timing sucks lol. Things to note: bike comes in a box. It's a PITA to assemble - took me half a day (first bike assembly though). Maximum weight limit is around 90kg. Only pedal assist so you can't sit there, twist throttle and expect to go anywhere. If you stop pedalling the motor turns off. Speed cuts out at 25 km/hr. Has 3 levels of pedal assist so just turn up level to go up hill.

    • huntress_love on 11/07/2022 - 22:55

      so how much faster does it help you go, just by feel. Compare to if it wasn't there?

      • Repposh on 11/07/2022 - 23:02
        +4

        Depends on assist level. I usually set to medium and feel like it's double my normal speed. At high level it reaches 25km/hr too quickly so it cuts out, so pedalling more does not make you go faster.

        In my opinion:
        Low-50% faster
        Medium-100% faster
        High-25km/hr (engine cuts out - I only use this to go up hills or just to start)

            @ChikenMiester: I could easily get 50km out of one charge - mostly flat/downhill though. Bear in mind it's pedal assist not full electric so you're doing half the work.
