4 years agoCourt, could you maybe double-check the weight of this 2020 model Bulls Iconic EVO TR-1? You say here it’s 60.8 pounds. But in Electric Bike Action in-depth review of this specific 2020 model, it’s listed at 54 pounds. And at Bulls USA website, it’s listed at 55 pounds. You also reviewed the 2019 model of this e-bike, & you listed it at 60.4 pounds(& it has a much heavier Bosch GEN 3 Performance Line Speed motor). And BTW, why are you listing this specific Bulls model as being available in Canada, when Bosch doesn’t support anybody in Canada with Performance Line Speed motor? Since you now live in Canada, if you do review e-bikes that are available in Canada, can you also list the Canadian price?
Apparently Bosch Performance Line Speed motor coming next month, is now 85 Newton metres. Would that be just an software update to the same motor, increasing from 75Nm to 85 Nm? When did you move to Vancouver(Canada)? I would be interested in this e-bike, except it’s a bit too expensive & it doesn’t have any built-in anti-theft security. What e-bikes would you recommend that go to 28mph, that is available in Canada(also include any e-bikes that might be sold in Canada limited to 20mph, but that be easily unlocked to go to 28mph). From lower-end to high-end 28mph bikes available to Canadians(preferably lighter than 55 pounds max.).

4 years agoHi Steve! Bosch is rolling out a motor update for their 4th Generation Performance Line motors (CX, Speed, Cargo, Cargo Speed). Here’s a video I created with more details ;)
I think you’re right about Class 3 not being available in Canada. I didn’t realize that at the time of review, and I was filming in the US. I also film Class 3 in Canada on private property and closed courses occasionally. Regarding the weight, Id on’t know for sure… but I’m pretty careful to check. Perhaps they weighed it without inner tubes or without the rear rack portion and pedals? I cannot say for sure, but I do feel pretty confident in the numbers posted here :D
ReplySteve
4 years agoCourt, you were riding a pre-production model. That could be part of the reason for the big difference in weight. BTW, they’re some Class 3 e-bikes, being sold in Canada. Example some limited Stromer bikes, Aventon Pace 500 (at last check), some Juiced bikes (when they had a Canadian distributor) etc. I don’t know of one case of any individual in Canada, being stopped by Police for riding a Class 3 e-bike on public Canadian roads.

4 years agoCourt, thanks for the great review! Would appreciate your thoughts – would you call out any notable differences compared to a Delite or Superdelite in terms of comfort (shocks, seat), bobbing up and down from the shocks, stability, acceleration/speed, maneuverability/playfulness, stopping power, shifting, and clankety-ness (does one rattle around more than the other)? It’s significantly cheaper and seems like it could be a great value.
Thanks!

4 years agoYou’re welcome! I’m guessing that you’re from San Francisco, yeah?! I used to live there, lots of great hills. Regarding differences between this and the Delite or Superdelite, I’d say it’s definitely lighter and snappier. Just look at the suspension design here with four bars vs. a big heavy swing arm. The suspension is air, so it can be sagged to your weight, and both shocks have lots of adjustability around compression, so you can reduce bob significantly. BULLS does a lot of real mountain bikes, while Riese & Müller does not (in my opinion). I think BULLS borrows from their mountain models to make the ICONIC EVO very fun and sporty feeling… just more upright, with heavy fenders, and a limited rear rack ;) Bosch has a great range estimator tool on their website that should help you get an idea for this motor and battery combo, so I’ll pass on that question. I don’t know about availability exactly, but I feel like it’s going to be sometime this month or early next?! I’ll keep an eye out for other FS city ebikes, but don’t know for now. I think that DÖST is working on something, but it’s probably many months out.

4 years agoThanks for the review of the Iconic Evo Speed. I noticed you were doing this with a prototype. You mentioned several improvements, such as a 42 tooth chainring and Bosch kiox display. I’m not seeing these upgrades on any of the bicycle sales sites, or the Bulls site. Do you know if all the upgrades mentioned in your review have been included in the final production?
Thanks

4 years agoHi Randy! No, I don’t know for sure. Perhaps this is a good question for BULLS directly. I communicate what I’m told, but also show what I am given and then move on to the next bike. perhaps someone in the BULLS forums will have more info to share on this?

4 years agoI have an earlier version of this model, for 2 years now. Battery was $1,200 to replace and took 14 weeks to ship out of Germany. Motor and electrical cost $1,500+ to get fixed. I have a total of 198 miles on the bike. Love the ride when it worked but it’s WAY too expensive to even consider. And, these were not warranty charges. At this point I just let it sit as it’s too expensive to ride.
ReplyCourt
4 years agoHmm, that’s a bummer Len. I’m sorry to hear that your bike is sitting around without much use recently, and that fixes have been so expensive. Thanks for sharing your experience with the bike :/

4 years agoI’d like to add two clarifications as per BULLS USA site.
Crankset is 38T not 42T. See Technical Specifications section. Also further clarified in FAQs: Can My Iconic EVO TR 1 Speed Accommodate A Larger Crankshaft? The Downhill Cadence Is Way Too Fast For My Taste So I’m Looking For A Way To Improve That. I Love This Bike. Question by: Tony Brocksmith on Oct 10, 2020, 2:41:04 PM
ReplyHi, We don’t recommend going with a bigger crankshaft as it has not been tested in our bike and the clearance is very minimal. I am sorry I cannot help you. Answer by: Customer_Support Customer_Support(Admin) on Oct 12, 2020, 1:09:55 PM
There is no rear rack extension available from BULLS. Looks like we’re limited to panniers only on the rear rack which I find to be an odd design choice. From FAQs: In A June 26 Question About The EVO TR 1 Speed You Indicate That This Rack Is Compatible. Its Overview Says It’s Not Compatible With The EVO TR 1 Speed. Well Does It, Or Doesn’t It? I Need A Flat Rack, Please! Question by: Tony Brocksmith on Sep 12, 2020, 1:06:25 PM Hi. It is not compatible. There are no rack extenders for this bike.

4 years agoThanks for adding these details, Bob! I measure and count everything by hand when doing these reviews, but have made mistakes on occasion. More frequently, a company will update their product year over year or make a mid-run change or they have provided a pre-production demo model for the review. Feedback like yours helps to nail down the details, thanks again for the help!
