To my cost I am aware of that.
Needs a pretty determined cadence to climb anything significant. Does feel the ratio is wrong to stay above >25kph

If you are a numbers nerd then the app promises more than it consistently delivers and disappoints.
This afternoon it went into a sort of "blue screen" moment.
Cowboy might say it was my fault for taking it out in the cold.

The range is nowhere near their claims. In my experience.

In its favour it is well balanced and manoeuvres well in town.
Should add the belt drive is rather nice.

It is a bit, although most girls don't come with a published list of specifications.
The sort that tells you she never slept with a boy before. Omits to tell you they were awake all night!

Seems to be a single speed belt drive with a low torque hub motor. Can’t see the point of lugging around the battery and motor at all it’s for flattish town riding.


I wouldn’t call it lightweight, it’s 17kg. My Orbea is 14kg and has a 40nm motor and 2x10sp derailleur gears. No problem going up hills but I haven’t tried more than 10% yet. A bit more money mind you but many better ebikes choices are available around the 2k mark

Well the Cowboy goes into play dead mode about 13%
