So make sure to shift down before you stop at a light or when going up a hill. One thing that took me a while to realize is that the motor assist is much stronger when you are in a lower gear.
This bike feels very natural to ride with or without power assist. I was specifically looking for a bike that would feel and ride like a regular bike but give some help if my knee started bothering me. It seems like it would get 20-25 miles on the highest power assist (I haven't actually done a 100-0% battery test at that level). I tend to ride in lower power assist modes, and in ECO am getting ~80+ miles of range on mostly flat terrain. It hasn't let me down yet, and the paint color looks much better in person than in photos. With that said, I've ridden this bike on asphalt, on crushed gravel and packed dirt paths, and even in the rain (all while loaded with gear on the rack). But, a short bottle can, or those can be used for a pump or lock. A full size water bottle can't fit inside a cage mounted onto the bosses on the seat post. The second item of note is that there are 2 sets of water bottle cage bosses. I did not dock the bike a star for this, because I have a second battery and that battery has no issues with fit and I think a small set of felt washers will fix the issue with the first battery. When this happens, it disconnects and the bike shuts off. The battery that came with the bike has a small amount of play and can slide down a slight amount. There is only 1 negative thing I can mention. SKS Fork Adapter for Suntour/Rockshox Straightīusch and Muller Secula Plus (eBike version - DC 6v)Ībout 750 miles on the odometer as of writing this review, and can honestly say it is a solid bike (and it rides great with or without power assist). SKS Bluemels STYLE Bicycle Fender Set - 27.5-29" Wheels I'm contemplating converting the rear hub and derailleur to a Kindernay VII internal hub in the future which would provide both additional low-end and high-end gear range while improving maintainability with reduced chain wear. I partially disassembled the battery connection in the bottom tube to run the taillight power internally through the frame. I've customized my XC by adding fenders and a bike powered taillight. Or if you are willing to ride in the lowest power level, it will go 80 miles on a charge. It doesn't hurt that it is a class 3 e-bike meaning it will provide assist up to 28 mph/45 kph. The area I live in ranges in elevation from nearly sea level to 500' and I appreciate the 90 Nm of torque from the Brose TF-sprinter drive unit to flatten the hills. I bought the XC and love the smoothness and torque of the drive unit.
