Lectric ONE Discussion. Reaction to Reveal. Fire the Tarp Boys! 

On the STROMER St2 and ST3 is a shift yourself drive and the ST7 pinon is too but on the ST7 pinon and the new ST5 pinon is a set automatic downshift, but you don’t have to have it automatically downshift you can downshift and upshift it and STROMER Pinons are just the gearbox not a mid drive. And you adjust the pinon on the STROMER. So basically Lectric just copy what STROMER did. I don’t think it has Spenton fork on them. Little tires is going to help and I think the frames too small for them speech but I could be wrong. It’s just my opinion but the back motor is a direct drive so they’re basically copying pasting everything as drummer dead, two years ago and wrong with it. This is what they’re doing.

From my understanding this motor was dubbed the " Stealth m24" because its power and speed are very difficult to actually feel or see until its right next to you, along with a 40 mile per hour tailwind. I don't know, I'd probably buy one regardless, why not.

I commute with a jetson bolt pro in a city 10 miles each way and know it’s limitations. I use pedal assist for most of the ride and only throttle when I feel the need to. For my next commuting e-bike I know that I would like less maintenance, more speed and power and more range. Plus it has to be IPX 65 rated for rain. The lectric one hits almost all of what I would want.

Ride for example 1 hour with exactly the same power once with the chain and once with the belt: The chain makes more miles, because it's more efficient. A belt has to run straight, if not the whole drivetrain will be making problem. A chain on the other hand is pretty flexible. Lots of people change from belts back to chains.

With the Lectric One you can go around cities a little bit. But is not the e-bike for long commutes. The Pinion gearbox and Gates beltdrive are nice, but are more for touring than just cities. 20"-wheels, small battery, average motor - all for the city. The Lectric One is something and nothing at the same time and this starting at $ 1'999,-, quite a lot of money. Big industry, but not on e-bike that is from A to Z just great. Price and really performance just come not together. If you really want to do rides and miles, you have to upgrade. Upgrading is a huge waste. Who wants weak parts? Nobody. And also just few people would buy cars for upgrades. This e-bike industry is insane, they producing one after the other e-bike that is maybe halfway good. Still the best is, what you do, EBikeBuilder: Build your own bikes. You get good performance for a good price.

Great review dude. I've never watched your channel before but you are either "on something, or on to something " You did a great job of talking me out buying this new bike ! What kind of Aventon do you have? I would really be interested in what your thoughts are on the Ephere robin +?

I totally disagree about the tires. 26x4 looks like a motorcycle. Maybe it is one? The should focus on 22x3.

Chain stay has to separate to get the belt on. Notice the small crossbar to strengthen the downtube. They should have done the same thing for the step thru XPeak to prevent the wobble.

A suspension fork is optional.

E-cells 5 star/Wired Freedom or this?

Pinon doesn't have the motor built in available, maybe next year.

They really put the other pinion bikes to shame with the price, too bad they made the rear rack so weak. That adjustable stem doesn't inspire much faith, either... Not a bad option for going car-lite if the gearbox keeps you rolling, but I have enough confidence in the chain system. The auto shift would be superb for stop and go, though

Is the direct drive motor

It should be a mid drive motor like engwe did recently on the p275 pro.

Your diy is much better in terms of performances
