    I was wondering - how could one prevent someone to steal the seat and the attached battery pack? Deosn't seem to be very secure - you just flip the little lever and extract it from the frame. Do we need to take the seat with us if we leave the bike locked at a shop or something?

      So the silver arrow sport is not speed limited?

      • sumyungguy on 27/01/2023 - 14:45

        The two more expensive models (not speed limited) can't be legally ridden on the road in any state or territory. The two less expensive ones comply with the 250W and 25km/h limits.

      • Trosticles on 27/01/2023 - 14:52

        It says it is limited in the specs, even though the blurb says up to 40kph. I believe the app makes Championship adjustable up to 45kph. The Sport may be similar.

        However, as mentioned, neither are road legal. See, for example:
        https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/rules/wheeled-device…

        The reality may be that if you aren't over 25kph, you are unlikely to be caught if you use them in public. These don't look like overpowered monster ebikes.

  • deal88 on 30/01/2023 - 20:29

    I am in Melbourne and received mine today. I ordered the black version. Some initial feedback….

    First thing I did was remove the battery to charge it. Bad idea. The cable in the seat upright is like a spring and went straight down to the bottom of the tube. Luckily I had a claw tool to get it back up. So if you want to remove the battery have something hold the cable.

    The bike is exactly what I was after but would not be for everyone. It is really suited to roads or paths. I am after a bike I need to pedal and can get assistance when needed.

    Even at 20kg the bike is deceptively heavy. I have a dual suspension mountain bike this heavy, but this bike looks lighter. I noticed the weight AFTER I removed the battery, so the weight must actually be in the motor and gears.

    I couldn’t find any instructions, so had a quick watch of the video. https://youtu.be/byKdsccJk_Y

    The bike comes with the spanner and Allen keys you need which is nice. They do recommend to torque bolts correctly, so you may need a calibrated hand. The only tool you will need is a bike pump. I would recommend you use a bike pump with a gauge.

    The seat is a bit hard for my boney butt, so I think this will be changed ASAP. Love the CVT gearing and belt drive, I had not used these before, but they are nice to use. The motor does have a bit of a whine when it is being used, but did not bother me. I have a huge hill near my place that everyone pushes their bike up and was able to pedal no problem.

    I found the bike more enjoyable to ride on assistance level one or two. On level four or five you can really feel the motor stop when you stop pedalling.

    Bike looks great and does not look like an e-bike. (one of the main reasons to buy). The Merc sticker looks good, but possibly increases the chance of theft. I would be careful where I park it or lock it up. The integrated display in the handle bars is awesome.

    It may sound strange, but the bike does come with nice pedals. A few of the road bikes I have purchased did not come with pedals.

    One shock was the bolt on front wheel. I just assumed it would be a quick release. It comes with security bolts, so keep this in mind as you will need the tool if you need to change a tyre.

    Thanks for the post guys. Always liked this bike, but it was not in my price range even at 25% off.

      Ok, a couple more things….

      There are no mounts for a water bottle cage. This is pretty annoying, but it does aid in the nice clean look of the bike.

      On my other bikes I mount my phone on the handle bar stem. As the display is there I will need another solution.

      • picogary on 30/01/2023 - 23:15

        Have you had a look at the range from Quadlock for your phone mount? They may have a suitable option… and it's nice to support a local company that has produced a genuinely good product.

        • deal88 on 31/01/2023 - 00:00

          I do like the Quadlocks. Looks like my options are a Quadlock off centre or something like this.

          Or just keep phone in pocket. The screen has all the speed and distance data, so may not need it out front.

        This was the electric bike I have wanted.
        I got this for 50% off. (Top of my budget)
        The order went through and was not cancelled.
        It was not sold out by the time I ordered.
        My size was in stock.
        Very happy.

        One more thing.. it has possibly the best kickstand I have seen on a bike.

    • rhyme324 on 31/01/2023 - 11:27

      Great review, thank you. Still waiting for my shipment.

      How do you feel about the size? I'm 1.74m tall and ordered the small size. Not sure if I should contact them to change to medium.

      • deal88 on 31/01/2023 - 14:12
        +2

        @rhyme324 I am 173cm and the small seems the right size. Not sure how the medium would be.

        Like me you a right on the limit for sizes.
        In my quick set up yesterday (close but not perfect) I had more scope to move the seat up than down.

        • theguyrules on 31/01/2023 - 14:41

          I wish I knew that it was easier to move the seat up than down - I would have gone with a medium instead of a large.
          Although I might still be able to change size. Worth a message.

    • Oz8arg1n on 09/02/2023 - 23:54

    • billbro on 13/02/2023 - 12:38

      My order arrived but seems to be missing a quick release or thru axle for the front wheel?

      Actually, one of my spokes looks bent too… time to hit up N+ and hope they respond.

      • theguyrules on 13/02/2023 - 12:57

        Oof that sucks. Let us know how you go

      • picogary on 14/02/2023 - 14:00

        I had the same issue when assembling, I thought that there was a missing component but then realised the front wheel is attached using the two silver coloured star bolts. You'll find them included in one of the boxes, along with a tool that fits the socket. There are two small black spacers that the bolts slip through to hold everything in place neatly.
        …and I also had one spoke that is scuffed and slightly bent, but I didn't feel it was a big enough issue to make a fuss about. This bike is for my wife and she's likely to do way worse than that pretty quickly!

        • theguyrules on 14/02/2023 - 14:11

          Is this a common thing? This person on reddit had the same:

          • 8azinga on 14/02/2023 - 14:13

            @theguyrules: Might be a packaging issue that allows it to happen during transport.

        • billbro on 15/02/2023 - 00:57

          Thanks mate, I'll take another look tomorrow - I did see two silver star bolts, but there is no thru axle/skewer that I would be used to - so still not quite sure what holds it together?

          As far as the bent spoke, mine is pretty bent and it's a brand new purchase - mine was also scuffed as well, which I'm less concerned about. I could arguably ride it, given the worst case scenario is the spoke breaks but it would still be rideable home.

          No response from N+ so far.

          • 8azinga on 15/02/2023 - 23:53

            @billbro: Watch the assembly videos and it will make sense. The video shows the bolts already inserted into the hub but it sounds like the bolts are separate. It doesnt use a thru axle or quick release.

      I’m a little confused about the standard silver arrows version.

      It comes with two batteries … does it take both at the same time? Or is one simply a spare that comes in package?

      • ChatGPT-4 on 31/01/2023 - 18:32

        The frame design of the Silver Arrows and Championship Edition allow for dual batteries to be used concurrently, whereas the design of the E-Team edition only allows for one battery to be loaded at a time.

        • idyllboy on 31/01/2023 - 22:37

          I was wondering about that too - emailed them and tech support advised that both batteries are in the frame for the silver arrow (seat post and down tube). Two charging ports (under the top tube and under the saddle) and both batteries are charged from either port.

          • RichieVn on 31/01/2023 - 23:58

            @idyllboy: is this for both silver arrow and silver sports?

          • tvamvaki on 06/02/2023 - 11:55

            @idyllboy: Thanks for clarifying. I was hoping that the black version would also allow for a second battery to be installed (purchased separately) to extend its range.

            I'm also curious as to whether on not the Silver Arrows works with only one battery installed… be great to not wear both batteries if not required.

            There not much information about the battery configuration anywhere - the manual is sparse as well.

    I am pretty unfit (have not ridden for years), but just managed a 13km ride in half an hour. Assistance setting 2 while adjusting the CVT makes the bike a joy to ride. I want to ride for fitness so I will keep pedal assist on 1 or 2 as much as I can. Ride mainly on undulating road and bike paths. After 13 km the battery was still showing 5 bars, so it appears I used less than 20%.

    I turned the assistance off to go down a big hill and easily hit 50km/h, the hydraulic brakes pulled up nicely. Considering the weight of the bike this is a good thing.

    I found a bonus Easter Egg for everyone, not sure if this is advertised anywhere. When you want to WALK the bike up a hill…. If the bike and screen is powered on and you hold down the down arrow the bike will enter “push assist” mode. You will see a picture of a person standing next to a bike and feel the motor slowly pushing the bike.

      It doesn't have a throttle at all from what I can tell.
      Someone further up said you can move the magnet used by the speedo to make it think its going slower than it is, thus making it go past the 25kmh limit.

    • deal88 on 09/02/2023 - 23:30

      If you after a higher top speed I think the black bike is not for you. Higher speed (if even possible) would drain the small battery too quickly.

      Hi @bauser99 these are really different bikes. Even though they look similar.

      Both are great deals at 50% off. The Giant motor is 25Nm with chain and 9 speed gears. The Mercedes is 80Nm with Constant Variable Transmission (CVT) and carbon belt drive. So the Mercedes is a better bike, but should be as it is nearly $1,000 more expensive on sale.

        they look complicated to fit on compared to the ones which attach to the stem no? amazon should have easier free returns compared to ebayplus . how about these ? https://www.amazon.com.au/ROCKBROS-Adjustable-Mudguard-Cycli…

        thanks - reckon you're right (certainly the image is the same). These are $59 at pushys but currently out of stock. delivery time on ebay looks to be pretty slow - end of the month.

    Couple of things I noticed with this bike:
    - There's a usb port on the underside of the dash, possibly a charging point for a phone
    - if you lift the seat post right out, make sure you rotate it as you push it back down so the cable will not bunch up and no let you adjust your seat at the lowest level
    - these looks to be a integrated rear light in the seat post, but it's covered up. The more expensive version has the light built in. Wonder if there is a way to buy the light and install it

      Might be possible to power a front light from that USB port too?

    Ordered on 1st feb, hopefully ship soon. Excited, tempted on dual motor but went this one as a starter ebike daily commuter.

    Was concerned about support since they didnt reply to my emails.

    However found a offical retailer that will do warranty support. Also asking them to assemble incase any potential warranty issue. Told me ever the phone most problems they has with Mercedes bikes was poor assembly by owners.
