![]() I appreciate the included fenders, rear rack and integrated LED lights from Spanninga! This e-bike is ready to go right out of the box and all of the parts match. The speed range of the motor itself is somewhat limited but it’s very powerful which is great for climbing and it’s fairly quiet. ![]() To truly reach ~28 mph on this electric bicycle you do have to pedal along and use one of the higher gears. This plastic ring has three buttons… one to enable boost, one to slowly and smoothly reach ~6 mph and another unlabeled button offering full power up to ~20 mph if you’re using one of the higher gears. While this is a speed-pedelec Class 3 with only pedal assist by default, you can spend $50 extra for a boost button to be mounted near one of the ergonomic grips. ![]() The 10 speed Shimano Deore drivetrain is solid mid-level and should hold up well if cared for. It’s a more basic motor that does not detect shifting and therefor may strain the chain, sprockets and derailleur more if you try to shift while pedaling hard and using a high level of assist. I found the motor to respond mostly to cadence, to run quietly and to be slightly delayed… both starting and stopping. You get thru-axles for improved stiffness (12 mm rear and 15 mm front) and hydraulic Shimano disc brakes with a larger 180 mm rotor up front for quick stops. This improves balance and frame stiffness while making quick-release on both wheels possible (and easier).
