This bike seems to be ideal for people who are dedicated road bike warriors but who may just want that extra oomph. Very stealthy, doesn't scream "EBIKE!", and still light and ride-able without power if one chooses. Thoughtful design for that particular demographic.
Just got a green e3 model. It's a fantastic bike for the current price of $1,000. I got it to help pull the burley trailer against the wind we get here. It does a great job.
Good to hear, planning to get one this week, still happy with yours? I like to pedal myself but doctor says to watch the hills so want an assist but not a motor scooter lol...any feedback is welcome thanks!
Cort is one of the original ebike reviewers and he really is a legend for all of us ebikers. Thanks Cort for years of great reviews! Would love to see one ebike verses a similar kind of ebike utube reviews. Like there is for smart phones. Example....this Momentum Voya vs Ride One Up Roadster. Two similar bikes. How do they compare? Is it possible that utube ebike reviews can take it up to another level? Especially since ebikes have gained such popularity in recent years.
That’s a good suggestion! Possibly in the future I could do some comparisons. Since I don’t hold onto the bikes, and usually travel to see new ones, it can be difficult to have back to back real-time, but maybe I could edit two videos together and add commentary. Thanks Tom!
I've loved the last couple releases from Momentum! Great review Court. About the motor cable positioning: aside from reducing clutter on the drive side, it also makes it easier to remove the cassette lockring or freewheel when the chain is over-worn and gears need replacing. Lockring tools require a slit with a drive side motor cable making them weaker and easier to strip!
That’s such a good point Jeff. Yeah, even though the battery is semi permanent in the frame, the bike is still easier to lift and transport since it’s fairly light. I own the Küat Sherpa aluminum platform rack for my car, and it’s a lighter smaller build. It’s nice to not overload it, so I usually just carry one bike at a time. I think it could handle two Voya E+ models. How about you, which rack do you have?
Fantastic review as usual! Looks like a really fun, swift bike for paved rail trails or those fortunate to have smooth commute infrastructure. Unfortunately where I am in the mid west with our freeze/thaw conditions wide tires and/ or suspension is almost a must or else you'll end up with your brain scrambled due to our pot holes. :-)
Yeah, the bikes feel great when the terrain is right. I grew up in a town with snow, mountain trails, and some rough streets… and one year they re paved one of the main roads through town and I LOVED riding and rollerblading on it… then years later, they covered it with chip seal! Man, that was a bummer ;)
Been a fan for a long time! I love the reviews. On a separate note, I like your writing glasses, can you tell me what they are? What is the brand? Thanks and keep up the great work!
Hi L W, thanks! The glasses were called Oakley Jawbones. Because the lower part of the frame swivels open to swap lenses. I think they renamed them to Oakley Racing Jackets and are still selling them. I bought mine like 15 years ago when they allowed custom colors. Not sure if that’s possible still. I love how they are vented so they don’t fog up, and the clear lenses are good for overcast and night riding 😉
It's a cool bike! Got mine in July for $1500. Slapped on a rear rack and fenders and use it as a city commuter. By the way, Giant is now currently selling for only $1000 in the US. Wonder if they are clearing inventory before new releases!
Thanks for the review, I have a question. How did you feel the power delivery was? Was it always in proportion to the torque you apply to the pedals and was there any delay in the assist coming on? I have a Aventon Soltera and there is a very noticeable delay in the power coming in. Thanks.
Great video! I would really like to see a review of a similar sleek, flat bar bike with a top speed closer to 35. I have the Aventon Soltera, and 20 Mph is just not fast enough I’m my opinion. Thanks
Quick question about these 2 models. Do you happen to remember which frame size these were? Both medium? I'm about 5'8" so I'm sort of between small and medium so I'm wondering what you may suggest then. I know the E+1 doesn't come in a small though.
Hi Ronald, I’ll put that one on my list. Planning to cover another mode from DeVinci soon. Is that the company you’re thinking or is Devini something else?
Yeah, I noticed that too and double checked with my marketing contact yesterday… I saw a picture of it but no actual details page. I’ll try to get more info and post back.
Hi @ 13:19 you mention the availability of a handlebar mounted button/control but i cant find it on the web site? is there a part # or something i can give to my shop to order this. Thanks
Just bought my first E-bike, Gazelle Medeo T 10+ high-speed with the purion display. My question is, can I ride it in the rain? How weatherproof is it? Thanks
Yeah, I think Bosch ebike systems are rated IP56 to handle water and dust, not fully “water proof” but highly resistant. I wouldn’t submerge anything, and it’s best to gently wash vs spray, but rain should be fine from what I’ve experienced and heard. My Uncle owned a Haibike for years and rode pretty hard in rain, snow, and mountain bike trails and it held up great!
Why can’t you do more in-depth range review on your ebike reviews. Range and power is all people care about. We spent a majority of the video looking at the bike stationary.
Just go to your local glasses shop to support local, and pick what fits you best. & 10 years on a production line. Lots of interests but great at nothing. So i hate it lol
@@ihatemyjob9880 yeah that sounds logical but I haven't been able to find some with the rubber seal to the face locally. Maybe I can try a motorcycle shop. Just looking for suggestions. And sorry you feel that way about work. I have been there. Have a better day.
