And there's one crucial reason. You will not BELIEVE how much attention I've been getting on this ebike.
I took out a brand new addition to the New Gen family, the New Gen 345-E, and much to my surprise was greeted by strangers throughout London.
Just what is it about these conspicuous looking electric bikes that are causing Londoners to be more friendly? Keep watching to find out!

@migueruta Жыл бұрын

It doesn't get people into cycling for real! The electric engine can do most of the muscle work. Besides it has a ergo-anatomic problem: you can't set the height of its seat, in order to pedal without hurting your knee joints' structures and without shorten your lower limb muscles, on the long run. That means, the taller the rider, more tiring & unconfortable it will become to pedal unless the person only resorts to its electric engine. Cheers!😉

Thanks for the entertaining video. In the USA this frame style is called a scrambler or cafe racer, also known as retro ebikes because they resemble the Schwinn Sting-Ray model from the 1960’s. Some call them mopeds, but a true moped has a gas engine. A Cruiser style, aka Beach Cruiser, looks like what you might call a “Dutch” bike but with fatter tires (not to be confused with a 4” fat-tire ebike). The principle difference is you can pedal a Cruiser but the ergonomics of Café Racers are usually not comfortable for serious pedaling.

Those glasses are a great idea, being an ex-bus driver I always need to know what's in my rear view and that's the one thing I find hard on my e-bike even with mirrors but....do they make them for spectacle wearers?!

It looks cool, but how repairable is it? Can you get replacement parts at any bike shop or do they have to be special ordered in from the manufacturer? How adjustable is it? I mean it’s obvious the seat won’t adjust to accommodate longer or shorter legs, but what about handlebar height and tilt? Can they be adjusted to fit differently sized riders or does the rider have to adjust to the bike? Personally I’ll stick to bikes that every bike shop will have spare parts for. My step through granny ebike might be boring looking but I can add baskets, parcel racks and child seats if needed. I can get replacement parts and servicing at any bike shop and it’s easily adjustable to fit every person in the family who might need to ride it.

Stunning, reflective analysis of a new way of getting about, very enjoyable and visually appealing. A tiny bit light on technical stuff, weight, lifting it up a few stairs sort of thing, it looks bulky and difficult to store. I am thinking about the price- and assuming it is Eeeek...The luggage thing is a pretty trick but of limited practical value. If you could push that panel out the back over the wheel and to enable wide stuff to be carried there, that would work. Like the rocker switch, that brilliant saddle and the low line of the bike for smaller folk. Not quite with you on the road rage thing, the angriest people I see are men dressed in lycra on racing bikes tearing through the traffic and red lights daring anyone to stop them and intimidating pedestrians with "death or move" stares. Could you do a few test runs in the rain, to help us get the whole world of cycling in perspective? Love the specs, one of the best things I have seen, need a few more designs though. Thank you, great work.

Years ago I would get snarkie comments from "cyclist" saying I was cheating!!? I would tell them I did not know their woman. But today throughout my town and on the path I see more and more E-bikes. I tell folks if I want exercise I will walk, but for getting to the store or just joy riding you can't beat them. I build my own generally to keep it light and more like the bicycle it is. But your E-bike is clean for a fat tire most are really designed to look like a motorcycle which to me is just to clunky. I really like the fact your frame is more tapered and the way they utilized the open frame for storage. PS you could also add a second battery there if you wanted to for more range. But thats me looking to take it ever further.

@Ry-lx2kl Жыл бұрын

The moped style ebikes are better left on the flats. The 750w Bafang hub motor is very common on premanufactured ebikes. However, this moped style does not have an adjustable seat, one size fits all. That means for taller riders you either need to stand on the pedals or have an awkward angle for pedaling which makes it difficult to add your full human power to the mix. There are also many ebikes of this style with a lot more power and range for the same or less money. I'm not sure what's available in Europe, but for £2600 ($3200 USD) you could get a moped style ebike with 2 x 1000w hub motors and likely a larger battery. For $2000 USD you could get a 1000w hub motor moped style ebike. If you want to climb hills direct drive hub motors (the Bafang 750w is geared) can handle gobs of peak power given you have a battery that can supply it. Another route is converting a bike with a mid-drive conversion kit most commonly from Bafang or CYC that can utilize the rear gearing on the bike and deliver up to 5000w depending on the model.

Cool machine , i`m not one to give a toss about cosmetics , but practicality is a big point winner for me , the cruiser looks very simple with a nice comfy seat , and it seems it just works for its purpose , gets you from point A to point B with a minimum of fuss or effort ( i hate conventional bike seats with a passion ) in reasonable comfort , and yes i would have a pack rack to stow my shi..... stuff :) . How much does this little beast cost ??

They are pretty cool. In Amsterdam they tend to be modded to take the speed limit off. Which is kind of a good mix for a bike like that I think..

@@Mezman999 Less so than you might think, as we have dedicated bike lanes. But yeah, underestimate the speed and usually not wearing helmets. crashing at 45-50 kph is NOT fun... Fortunately in our cities, in most areas they can't really go anywhere near that fast...

Closeup of the rear wheel looks like a chain drive! Is that a different bike?

@hunterfunter47 Жыл бұрын

There are a lot of e-bikes that have very small frames and this is one of them. Also, the chain isn't guarded so expect trouser legs to get some oil on them. No mudguards, expect to get a damp bum. Apart from that it's great. 😐

Nice, but gotta have mudguards and more racks!

Good morning from sunny Thailand, Why not put mirrors on it?. I have a Bafang BBSHD powered mountain bike here in Northern Thailand. It is just great to get out into the mountains around here and simply see absolutely no one. Besides, it gets me out of the way of the gran kids. The bike you are reviewing. Looks a little like a Raleigh Chopper. But not for me. Too slow.
