Just found this. Not too keen on the tyres, but useful, well thought-out and 250 watt version available in EU. Good price as well.

I really like it, the wide none standard tyres is a concern.

I saw this on New Atlas (new tech sort of website)

I really liked it . There is a similar looking bike in brighton at the moment . Forget the brand but it was 5 grand for the same electrics and similar style. A d actually practical !


New atlas has some words from their CEO. He has it nailed and is hoovering up the USA market.

At 250w I am not sure the proposition works as well.....just my opinion of course .

I think with 80nm torque it might be useful even with just 250w.

A fair point there, for me it was the single speed. I worry about that at 250 but , as we know, all depends on the motor capability rather than the stamp

I like the simplicity and low maintenance aspect of the single speed but I’m not sure how it would cope going up fairly steep hills pulling heavy loads on a trailer, which is what I’d need it for, I like the smaller wheels (though not the extra wide tyres). I think it looks really nice, sturdy and utilitarian.

I’ve just watched this review of them in the American version.

This is the European one from the man at Electric Bike Report. He did a longer one on the US one. I saw a video of his that explained that he lives in a petrol hybrid car and travels around the USA to carry out his work. Interesting man.

I love watching the EBR video reviews, he posts a few most weeks, he’s so informative and articulate and seems like a really nice person.
