Hi everyone
spec
factory moded with 200watt eco mode / 600 Watt
Deluxe 8 speed Derauiller
SRAM X9 Derauiller
11-34 cassette with 44t front ring
SRAM PC971 chain
SRAM X7 grip shifter
WTB Laserdisc trail 27mm
Fox Float R Shock
Fox Vanilla R
Aluminum Monocoque frame
Hydraulic Disk:Avid BB7
internal 36 Volt 10ah NiMH
External 36 volt 22ah Li-ion
custom painted in Baby blue
UltraBright Twin 10w Halogen
Weight 58 lbs
I have owned the bike for about 8 weeks now and I have been out about 12 times mostlyon the road.
My latest ride was 25 miles from Sale to Strangways and around town and back to Sale and I did this mostly on full throttle and peddling It took around a hour and 13mins
average speed was 20mph with max speed around 32 mph and I was running on the external battery
which is a 36v 22 ah Li-ion as I was testing it after a full charge without the Bms which I have removed as it's faulty
and the internal is a Nimh 10ah which I never needed to use.
The bike handles superb with the fox suspension and the motor being centre and low gravity must help a lot and the riding postion is comfy.
Front twin halogen headlight is standard and is a very bright beam unlike leds.
The big question is the price and are they worth $12,000 for the 850R? and are they the best electric bike ever?
I would have to say the parts used are top end and the build quailty is very good and do I still think they are overpriced? YES!
I have not managed to ride any other electric bikes so I cant judge this against anything out there as this is my first ebike and it came up for sale as barely used and it was like new and was a big saving on a new one so I took the plunge and bought it and do I regret it NO!
I hear people say its a moped not a bike and I would like to say it rides like a MTB and at 32mph you are peddling like a lunatic and its far from being a moped with big fat tyres and a noisey exhaust.
