Great review. Looks sturdy, I like the built in battery/size/customization. Also like Shimano components and agree a seat shock absorber makes a front shock less necessary. I agree w/ the criticism that the front light should really turn w/ the handlebars and not be built into the frame.
Nice video. I bought this bike a year ago and was my first bike since I was a kid...now 57 and feel like a kid when out on it! It's terrific and a lovely smooth ride. I'm really clueless when it comes to bikes and I've been reading about things to check before you ride such as checking tire pressure and to check the quick wheel release levers. No problem checking tires but not sure about checking the wheels. Does this bike even have those levers and, if so, can you explain how to check? A video on bike maintenance for newbies would be great :)
Enjoyed this review, can I ask as it is only available in medium frame how did you feel it suited a male that is 6.1 inch’s and how was the lack of front suspension on poor surface’s? Many thanks
Thanks for the question Vincent. I'm 6'2" and found it not an issue. Also, I do prefer front suspension but there's also a cost to features like that. On the Lundi, I'd be happy to ride it as is.
Good review. No Fork shock absorbers nor apparent seat suspension, bumpy ride here in Wicklow hills? Thanks for info. Looks a great city e-Bike, but not suitable for glencree nor sally gap.
TBH this is a commuter bike over 3K is far too expencive. That's cycling as hobby money. Even as a second car replacement it's overpriced. I think the e-bike market is still in the 'early adopter' phase, built and sold as novelty items rather than mass consumer products, with the associated price mark up.
We got e-bikes six years ago, for leisure, not commuting, cost €1500ea. Still going strong. €3k seems the new entry level price since Covid lockdowns pushed prices up.
I think it also depends on where you are. I live in Amsterdam where the city is expanding and housing prices are pushing people further from the center and with the cycling culture here e-bikes are becoming extremely popular.
Yeah but you have to consider that in a big city it completly replace the car. So you save on parking cost, insurance, plate, driver lisence, gaz, maintenance and repair. All of that cost at least 2k per years. So if you keep your ebike for a lot of years, it pay for itself. I agree it's still expensive, but where I am I see ebike everywhere now and they all sold out so I don't see the price going down soon. I wouldn't replace my ebike for anything personaly, way more worth it than a car in the city.
