      Drivetrain is done by carbon belt, so not a conventional chain. Little bit of a loss there but quiet, lightweight.

    • ruprectaus on 23/01/2023 - 13:40
      +2

      There are a few around (carbon belt), has a few advantages and one big disadvantage as there is some loss of drive train effienncy but seeing as you have an e assist probably a fair trade off for the advantages ?

    • sumyungguy on 23/01/2023 - 16:02
      +2

      Maybe you're not that into cycling? Early prototypes of Gates belt drives were first seen at Eurobike 2007
      But there are limitations which makes them not for everyone: rear triangle needs an opening to remove the belt; and unless you prefer a fixie, the belt drive requires hub gears.

    the speed and range are quite bad for a rrp of $5k

    • Binchicken22 on 23/01/2023 - 14:07
      +6

      Well, the speed is legally limited, so even a $30,000 ebike is speed limited to 25k in Aus (though most ebikes can be 'unlocked' with a bit of tinkering). When I say limited I'm talking about the limit that assistance cuts out, you can still fang it down a hill at 50km/h if that's your thing.

      The range of 70k is actually pretty decent considering the battery is hidden within the frame and not a big chunky bolt on unit. 70ks is a long way to ride and if you are using it as a commuter you could probably charge at work if you are travelling more than 30km each way (good luck to you if that's the case).

      • michael9865 on 23/01/2023 - 14:15

        Interesting, then only place this is good for is if you live in the city where cars move slower than bikes

      • baker bob on 23/01/2023 - 17:11
        +1

        Problem is the range is misleading. 36v 7ah battery is good for approx 40km at max assist. It is common for manufacturers to overstate the range by assuming minimum or medium assist levels but doesn't make it right and in my book it is downright misleading.

        Min assist only contributes up to 6kph, very unrealistic to assume people will want to travel at that speed for 70km.

        • slam on 23/01/2023 - 17:18

          The enviolo hub is very inefficient. It will use more power than stated.

          • baker bob on 23/01/2023 - 17:27

            @slam: I was being optimistic with 40km range to be honest but after your comment, seems 30km is more like it, if not less.

            • deal88 on 30/01/2023 - 22:59
              +1

              @baker bob: I agree. I think relying on the stated range for any electric vehicle is not a good idea. Will be interesting to see how this goes in the real world. I have not tested it yet, but your 30km estimate sounds reasonable/realistic.

              I had a quick ride today and on flat road on level 2 assist I was still hitting 25-30km/h.

              I think for me at least, max assist will not be used often.

              This bike does have CVT gears, so selecting the right gearing for the road grade will help.

    • iminabrons on 24/01/2023 - 13:43

      I've used an eBike for 6 years. It weighs 26kg when nude and has a rear-wheel motor. I've had very little go wrong (all my fault). since I bought it.
      Its battery is a Panasonic 36v -15ah and there is no way I was going to get 70k out of a full charge even when the battery was brand new. That is unless I had it on the 2 or 3 out of 5 power setting. This means of course I was providing half the power. eBike claims of power and distance are basically BS Buyer Beware.

  • sunnyc on 23/01/2023 - 13:26

    • deal88 on 30/01/2023 - 23:02

      Yes, you must be peddling for the motor to work. This is also for safety as when you stop peddling the motor will turn off.

  • theguyrules on 23/01/2023 - 13:43

    Might be a dumb question, but could I use my existing child seat on this bike? I have one that mounts to the frame under the riders seat and it looks like it would fit.

    • Snowie on 23/01/2023 - 14:15

      Looking at the bike and child seat specs.

      Child seat Fits frame tubes from 28-40 mm (round)

      But then looking at the bike - the battery appears to go in the seat tube (see https://nplusbikes.com.au/products/n-mercedes-eq-team-ebike-…)

      So I might suggest that the diameter of the seat tube would be greater than 40mm, but I can't see an specs to confirm this.

      Hope that helps a little.

      At this sale price, it's actually quite good value compared to a similarly spec'ed bike (Enviolo CVT, Gates carbon belt drive, Bafang mid-drive motor): https://lekkerbikes.com.au/products/amsterdam-gt-enviolo-ct-…

      The Lekker has a battery twice the capacity of this one, but is also nearly $1500 more expensive. So, if the smaller battery is sufficient for your commute, this bike would be quite a decent choice.

  • Carrera1963 on 23/01/2023 - 13:44
    +3

    Actually a reasonable e-bike for the price, main downside is the 7Ah battery (similar to a Turbo Vado SL 4.0, but that's 48V).

    Closest comparison (with a Gates carbon drive belt) would be a Lekker Jordan for $4k, but that's got double the battery size.

      • tchiseen on 24/01/2023 - 23:18

        Polygon makes good bikes.

        The Shimano is better than the Bafang/noname middrive. Even if it's showing as 'less' torque, in reality, it'll be functionally the same, and much less likely to explode. Obviously the Polygon has standard gears opposed to an interally geared hub, but it's a 44/11-43 ten speed, which gives you about 400% range whereas the enviolo hubs are less, between 310-380%. The battery is almost twice as big, which is a massive plus.

        The Polygon has a lot of other benefits over the mercedes bike. It is using standard sized handlebars and seatposts, which means upgrading and replacing is trivially easy in future. It has larger wheels and tyres, which means more comfortable ride, not to mention the suspension which is Suntour, which is solid.

        That website is also selling the Marin Sausalito ebike for roughly the same price which also looks like a great bike. Marin makes good bikes, the E2 version has an 11 speed, 11-51t deore drivetrain which is even more range, if you were riding on big hills frequently, this is a consideration.

        Carrera said

        That’s a totally different bike, almost nothing in common.

        I disagree. All these bikes mostly have similar capabilities and are aiming at the same market which is budget friendly urban/commuter style riding. They're flat bar, large wheel, upright riding position general purpose bikes. Yes the Marin and the Polygon have suspension, but that doesn't immediately make them 'Mountainbikes' and mean they're only good for off-roading. In reality, if you were primarily riding off road, you'd likely want a slightly lighter, more powerful ebike and you'd be paying more for it.

        tldr; I am not convinced that a belt drive/enviolo is a good investment for a vast majority of riders. If I had to pick between just the two, I'd pick the Polygon 10 times out of 10.
