    Is this a high yield investment bike?

    Quiet a decent bike, belt drive and internal hub gear mean virtually maintenance free drive train.

    80Nm mid-drive motor is adequate, battery is on the smallish side, but great for casual riders/commutes doing short distances, even a good thing not having to lug a large battery/weight around all the time.

    Though a little primitive relying on speedo magnet, which suggests cost saving considerations.

    Would seriously consider if in the market for a light duty e-bike.

      Speedo magnet could be considered a bonus to those who wish to modify it to adjust speed cap.

      • liongalahad on 27/01/2023 - 16:40

        can you elaborate on this? How do I adjust speed cap ?

        • bargaino on 27/01/2023 - 16:45

          The sensor sends a pulse for each wheel rotation. So you slow it down.
          The simplest hack would be just halve the frequency, so speed reading and distance halves.
          A simple flip-flop would do it.

          • liongalahad on 27/01/2023 - 16:52

            @bargaino: is this done by a bike shop or would I need to buy some device to do this? What's a flip flop? (sorry I know nothing)

      Possibly they figured that if you need a spare, then you want to go the distance and therefore a 43% extra boost.

      Surely they are physically the same size, just that the one comes with the bike has less cells in it. A bit like buying a new printer. :D

  • justtoreply on 23/01/2023 - 14:44

    Does this bike only assist or can you use it (on flats) without pedalling?

    I need to get to work without pedalling, because I'm a sweaty mofo and will stink all day (or I need to take the additional time to shower… which just makes the whole process take too long vs a 15 minute car ride).

    Whereas riding home, I can do the exercise and only stink out the family.

    • theguyrules on 23/01/2023 - 14:46

      I don't think it has a throttle, no.

    • RolandWaites on 23/01/2023 - 14:53
      +4

      If it's any good, you shouldn't work up a sweat on an ebike if you don't want to. You can push yourself beyond the motor's capabilities, which will lead you to exert, but if you want you can coast along with as little (virtually zero) effort.

    • baker bob on 23/01/2023 - 17:22
      +1

      You could put this bike on the lowest gear (least effort), max assist and pedal real slow and it will fly but on those settings it's good for about 30km at best which is fine for most city commutes but you will be charging it pretty often.

    • iminabrons on 24/01/2023 - 14:06

      All eBikes in Australia are pedal-assisted but that just means that you have to pedal so as to keep the motor going. If you are on full power and highest gear you will use very little energy on a flat service or slight hills and still travel at up to 25 kph.

      • codaroma on 27/01/2023 - 12:41

        there are still plenty of ebikes available that include a throttle, and do not require you to pedal. not sure how road legal they are nowadays though.

  • Che0063 on 23/01/2023 - 15:13
    +12

    eBike user here. I have a 36v 7Ah battery too (same as this one) with a 250W motor.

    You're not getting 70km of range, unless you are on flat hills and using the minimum assist.

    Using my bike at max assist, I'm getting about 30-40km on moderate terrain (uphills and downhills) before the battery voltage starts sagging and internal resistance will rise. You might be able to get an extra 10km after that point, but you'll find it starts getting weaker, before dying out at max 50km. I'm also pretty light (60kg) so ymmv.

    • RoonFTW on 27/01/2023 - 18:08

      It could be a mistake? The US site quotes 50km range for the 7ah, and 120km for the dual battery 17ah (7+10ah packs). 70 km would be more realistic for the 10ah power pack?

  • JGTC on 23/01/2023 - 15:20

    Good price for a mid-drive, integrated battery, hyrdo disc-brake bike, the belt drive probably great for occasional riders not having to worry about chains and maintenance.

    I was in the market for an e-bike at this price a while back and the 2 that i weighed up were;

    Pedal Falcon - $2,500 - 9sp mid-drive, hyrdo disc brakes, shock fork, 10.4ah

        Technically no, but it's like cars, they may be capable of 200km/h, if you don't go that fast the cops won't bother you.

        If you aren't going 45km/h through city footpaths then the cops probably won't bother you on one of these either.

        • DentArthurDent on 24/01/2023 - 10:47
          +3

          My worry wouldn't be the cops, it would be if you get in an accident, even if you're doing 25kmh and the other person was completely at fault, you'll be the one paying for all their repairs, hospital bills, loss of income, etc. because you are using an unlicensed vehicle.

      • Trosticles on 25/01/2023 - 19:37

        Yeah, it's a lot of money for 2 x unknown hub motors on a Merc branded Al frame built by who knows. No gearing (not much to go wrong, but also cheaper). Semi-slick Hookworms need to be replaced if you want to dare try it off road. Mid-drive motors tend to be nicer to ride and more efficient. This is really a toy, and I can't identify a use-case to justify the cost.

        I paid $1300 for an Emove Cruiser e-scooter that goes just as fast, has same real-world range, has a seat and takes up less room in the garage so I've talked myself out of this one…

  • tchiseen on 23/01/2023 - 16:29
    +3

    Interesting deal. Not often will a mid-drive ebike sell for this little money. It does have a small battery, your range on this will probably be 20-25kms with assistance.

    I also have to say, I've ridden the Enviolo hub and I was not that impressed. It's actually not as easy to use or intuitive as a simple derailleur. It's nice that it gives you the option to run a belt drive, but I'm not entirely convinced of the benefits of a belt. Supposedly they're "easier to maintain", but I have ridden every day for years on bikes with chains and have not worried about how to maintain them. Also notably, fixing a flat tyre on an enviolo is markedly more difficult than a regular hub/QR skewer, so the whole 'easier to maintain' kind of falls flat, for me.

    The display integrated handlebars are cool, but at the same time, not cool because you'll esentially never be able to replace or upgrade them, and flat bars like those are pretty uncomfortable for many riders.

    Despite all this, I can see someone enjoying this bike. It's pretty sleek and has good features, the price is cheap compared to many other bikes with gates/IGH/middrive. Could you find a better bike with the same specs? Yeah. It'd cost a lot more though.

      Does not require chain lubes, means clean and no mess. No derailleur and cable tension to adjust. Internal gear hub enables gear change anytime, even when the bike is stationary at the lights.

      If that's the one with mechanical disc brakes then I'd leave it alone. Mechanical discs are not self adjusting (at least the ones I am familiar with) and hydro brakes alone makes the Mercedes better value. We live in steep hills and brakes have to be 100%.

    For those wondering about the battery life, I’ve been commuting to work with a 7ah battery (Shimano e5000) bike for many years. It’s a 10k trip each way and I charge the battery approx. every three days, which really is no hassle for me. I don’t think the n+ battery size is an issue.
