      40nm vs 80nm of torque, and different gearing it seems. Also it seems like maybe the battery isn't in the seat pole?

    • sumyungguy on 24/01/2023 - 09:10

      Hub motor, single-speed, good-looking but not an equivalent bike

      • FlyingPanda99 on 24/01/2023 - 09:17

        could you share more about the actual difference when you ride the bike with these differences? for commute purpose

        • sumyungguy on 24/01/2023 - 09:57

          A single-speed bike is good for leisurely cruising, but at higher speeds your legs will be pumping. Hub motors are lighter and cheaper than mid-drives and are kinder to your drivetrain, but the direct-drive versions drag when they're un-powered, like when you run out of battery. My commute was a 45km round trip so I needed to cruise efficiently at high speed.

    • Ozybargdias on 24/01/2023 - 09:43

      Looks to be the same

      Yep, and that's where the similarities end. This is an electric fixie - lightyears away from the CVT in OP's model.

      • codaroma on 27/01/2023 - 12:49

          Yeah the E-team one, been looking at an e-bike for a while, and I follow merc formula one so it was spur of the moment decision, look out for a oneworld email for delivery tracking, should include the N+ logo, when did you order it, they might be processing it the next day.

              @theguyrules: interesting, which payment method did you use, could be taking its time due to the transaction going through, I did splitit, then decided to just pay it as the hold on the credit card plus extra is annoying.

              • theguyrules on 25/01/2023 - 07:56

                @me4president: Just paid outright with my debit card. I considered split it too but yeah, that hold would be so frustrating for 20 months.

    This bike looks like it was - at least in part - designed my someone who doesn't use bikes.

    To charge it you need to remove the seat and put it back. Getting the seat just right is such a pain that I'm passing on that alone

    • theguyrules on 25/01/2023 - 07:59

      Obviously you don't have to remove the seat to charge the battery. There is a plug just under the seat.

    It seems brakes are already bled, the rest should be straightforward.

    If you bring it to LBS, they would probably charge 1 to 2 hours labour, so $100 to $250. Possibly closer to $250 being an e-bike.

    • me4president on 25/01/2023 - 17:00

  • DingoDream on 25/01/2023 - 12:33

    N+1 has charged my credit card the full $2550 in addition to a $127 charge for the 20 month payment option. Contacting them by the telephone number at their Perth webpage listed phone number gets you to a number has changed recording.

    • rhyme324 on 25/01/2023 - 12:43

      For Splitit, it works like that.

      "Splitit authorizes the full amount of the purchase on your existing credit card and reserves the balance until final payment is made."

      127 will be charged in the statement and $2550 is the authorisation only. They will hold your available balance every month.

    • theguyrules on 25/01/2023 - 13:54

      Yeah thats why I decided to avoid Splitit.
      As you make payments the amount held on your card goes down but youve got 20 months of it.

  • DingoDream on 25/01/2023 - 15:34

    I was aware of the terms of the SplitIt contract. Yes, the $2550 should be a reserve amount and the $127 is the actual payment - except my wife's bank insists that both $2550 and $127 have been deducted from her account.

    Thanks for the 1st neg.

    • rhyme324 on 25/01/2023 - 17:32

      There is no point using debit card for Splitit. If you have high credit limit on credit card, splitit will be good. Actually I’ve been charged $127.5 and $2422.5. Login splitit portal and see what you have been charged.

    Some great deals on Lumos helmets on Amazon

    Lots of colours and a few different designs available.
    This one is top of the range and will match the black bike.

      thanks deal88 - very appreciated. Note that only seems to be discounted for black M size (54-61cm). Also, the Lumos Ultra for $69 - again seems to be for size M-L 54-61cm but is currently available in a range of colors. Both have MIPS which a number of way better informed cyclists than I on ozbargain have said is a very useful safety addition.

          I ordered this helmet from Amazon yesterday, and I am also worried about whether the helmet size is suitable for me. My current helmet is 58cm-61cm, and I also tried to contact Amazon and the seller to ask this question, but so far I have not received a reply. The worst case scenario is that I will have to pay the shipping fee to return it, but the $69 MIPS helmet is really attractive.

        • RickyMoon on 28/01/2023 - 14:51

          I just received this helmet and the wearing feel is comfortable, but it feels a bit heavy, which eliminated my previous concerns about the size. The apps are easy to use and the helmet's quality is at least on par with helmets that cost between $100-120, so it completely justifies its $69 price tag.

          • deal88 on 30/01/2023 - 21:36

            @RickyMoon: I ordered the $99 kickstarter. Very comfortable. The weight seems ok. MIPS looks like a good idea.

    So there are 4 options:

    2022 Formula E Team eBike, the OP posted, with the following key features for $2,550:
    * Matte Black
    * 20.5kg
    * 7aH single battery with 50km range
    * 80 Nm / 250 W mid drive motor
    * Carbon Belt Drive, Enviolo CVT, 25 kph max
    https://nplusbikes.com.au/pages/2022-formula-e-team-ebike-50…

    2022 Silver Arrows eBike, as above with the following key differences for $780 more, i.e. $3,330:
    * Hand polished brushed aluminium
    * 7aH battery plus 10ah battery with 120km range
    (The 10ah battery is $805 separately)
    https://nplusbikes.com.au/pages/2022-silver-arrows-ebike-50-…

    2022 Silver Arrows Sport eBike, as above with the following key differences for $695 more, i.e. $4,025:
    * 90 Nm / 500 W mid drive motor
    ($695 for a more powerful motor, though you may not experience significantly greater performance)
    https://nplusbikes.com.au/pages/2022-silver-arrows-sport-ebi…

    2022 Championship Edition eBike I posted earlier, NOT as above, for $2,175 more than OP's $700 more than above, i.e. $4,725:
    * Matte Black with blue fluorescent highlights
    * 29kg
    * AWD (not mid-drive) with 2 x 700w hub motors
    * 14.5ah plus 5ah batteries (19.5ah) with 120km range
    * Single Speed (no CVT)
    * 45kph top speed
    * Front suspension
    * Semi-slick Maxxis Hookworm tyres
    https://nplusbikes.com.au/pages/2022-championship-edition-eb…

    Personally, I think the value is in the first two options, though I think the Polygon posted earlier ($2700 at bikesonline) is better value again. Arguably some value in the Championship edition purely for the insanity… I've not seen anything else like it, though other massive hub drives are out there.

  • liongalahad on 27/01/2023 - 00:20
