Bulls Urban Evo 10 Bosch Powertube Battery

Bulls Urban Evo 10 180mm Rotor Hydraulic Disc Brake

Bulls Urban Evo 10 Kickstand Saddle Rear Rack

Bulls Urban Evo 10 Chain Guard Chain Guide

Bulls Urban Evo 10 Stock High Step Black

A speedy and almost luxury sporty commuter ebike from BULLS, highlighted by full features like a rear rack, battery integrated lights, comfortable and ergonomic touch-points, reliable electric and mechanical drivetrain, a responsive, agile and nimble ride, and a premium component feel
Driven by a lighter and more compact 4th generation Bosch Performance Line Speed mid-drive motor, capable of 28mph top speeds with no more reduction gearing drag, powered by a 625 watt hour 36v 17.4ah Bosch PowerTube battery with a high-speed 4amp charger, uses the reliable, compact, and simple Bosch Purion display
Mechanically operated by a 10 speed Shimano Deore system with a Shadow + Clutch, a 44 tooth chain ring in the front with a narrow-wide teeth pattern, trigger shifters, has both a bash guard and a chain protector, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes with a 180mm rotor in the front and 160mm rotor in the rear
No suspension of any kind in the front, rear, or seat, also has flat handle bar for aggressive geometry, this all makes for a stiff ride, hanging rack only works with certain pannier bags as it lacks the platform most people look for, Bosch Purion display is basic, lacks USB charging, and is getting long in the tooth

To run the forums, host the website, and travel, I charge a universal service fee for my reviews. This in-depth review was sponsored by BULLS North America. My goal is to be transparent and unbiased with you, this video and writeup are not meant to be an endorsement of BULLS products. I welcome your corrections, additions, and feedback in the comments below and the BULLS electric bike forums.

Pros:

A speedy and almost luxury sporty commuter ebike from BULLS, highlighted by features like a 4th Generation Bosch motor, 28mph top speed, comfort touch-points, reliable electric and mechanical drivetrain, and a premium feel
As a speed pedelec bike, you can get to your destination faster, where as some ebikes allow for 15 or 20mph top speed, you can bolt past them at an amazing 28mph, this does so with a natural pedaling and torque feel rather than feeling like a scooter which some other 28mph bikes do, so this keeps you active and healthy as well
Comes in four different frame styles, however, this is for the European market, we may only get two styles here, I was able to test out the high-step and their step-through (which is really more of a mid-step), these two will be available here in the US and they both felt great so it really comes down to the style that fits you best when choosing
This bike has a 31.6mm seat post, so if you were looking to add more comfort to the ride setup, you could get an aftermarket suspension seat post like a Kinekt or SR SunTour NCX seat post to give the ride more cushion for longer more sustained rides
As I mentioned, the bike has a quality almost luxury type feel with elements like the soft and comfortable ergonomic saddle, sand-paper style grip taped platform pedals, as well as the ergonomic stitched faux leather grips, definitely nice touch points and I love that they are color-matched to offset the great all blacked out color you see on this bike
In the rear there is a hang style rack, this is different than a traditional platform style rack since it is really only meant for hanging, there are pannier provisions as well as the capability to add pannier blockers, the rack is sleek and minimalist, however, if it is not your style, you can swap it out quite easily for a different rack of your choice
Check out these extra long aluminum alloy fenders, these are about 16mm wide and have just a tiny bit of extra length so it is more likely to keep you dry when going over puddles or riding in the rain, aluminum alloy is also great since they don’t scratch and rust like steel fenders do, so it will keep that all black paint looking great
I love the battery integrated lights here, they have them both in the front and the rear, the front is a Supernova light with aluminum housing that points where you steer, while the rear is a bright triple LED setup, safety has always been a priority for myself and other cyclists, so it’s nice to see that more and more companies are including these on ebikes
For tires, you have an efficient yet all purpose set of 28” x 2” tires, like the tread, the higher air volume is also somewhat setup for all purpose use, although most comfortable on the road, I was able to take it on some grass and leaves and it did great, a nice and capable setup
The tires here have both puncture protection and reflective sidewalls, as a big fan of safety and convince, having both means visibility for riding at dusk or dawn as well as peace of mind against potential threats to your tires
Here at Electric Bike Review, we are big fans of bottle cage bosses, I am happy to say that they are here on this bike and that is a great addition for a lot of reasons, you can fit a number of accessories on them, not just water bottles, there are aftermarket add-ons like a GPS tracker, a folding lock, mounting points for racks, and many others that can get your bike setup just the way you want
The Urban EVO 10 also includes a kickstand in the rear, it is nice to have it back there since having it near the crank arm can produce ‘pedal lock’; an annoying occurrence that locks the pedals when you reverse a bike with the kickstand down, luckily, this bike eliminates that by having it positioned further back
The bike has a nice slap guard on the chain stay, this keeps the frame as well as the paint in great shape since chains can sometimes bounce on the frame an knick the paint, it can be down hill from there since the chips look bad and can rust, but thankfully, this slap guard prevents that from happening
I should also mention that it has a quick release setup in both the front and rear wheels, this is great for maintenance like changing a flat tire or truing a wheel, since it is easy to get the wheels on and off, it also makes for great portability if you are loading it into the trunk of a car or other storage considerations
BULLS will often use this Monkey Link setup, a clean and impressive magnetic way to attach accessories to your ride, this bike is compatible more with the Monkey Link water bottle if you wanted to add one, but not so much with the Monkey Link lights since battery integrated lights are already present
Mechanically, the bike uses a 10 speed Shimano Deore system with a Shadow + Clutch, a 44 tooth chain ring in the front with a narrow-wide teeth pattern, and trigger shifters, a lot of this is covered really well with both a bash guard and a chain protector, if you get those panniers on the back rack, then the entire system is pretty well covered while keeping your clothes free of snags as well
Stopping the bike is a powerful set of Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, hydraulic disc brakes are my favorite since they need less maintenance than mechanical disc brakes and they offer more responsive breaking power with less hand strain, this bike uses a staggered setup with a 180mm rotor in the front and 160mm rotor in the rear, having that larger rotor in the front is ideal since the front wheel takes the brunt of the stopping force
Driven by a 4th generation version of the Bosch Performance Line Speed, this motor is now 2.5lbs lighter and more compact, it offers 75nm of torque, but still maintains that smooth and quiet feel that measures pedal torque and pedal cadence over 1000x per second, as well as implementing shift detection
Another upgrade to the Bosch Performance Line speed is the standard sprocket size, in the past, they used a proprietary smaller sprocket, but now on this bike, they have a standard 44 tooth chain ring with a 1:1 ratio with cadence support now over 120rpms, in layman’s terms, this means you can pedal and spin the cranks faster and there is now no reduction gearing to give you a dragging feeling
Powered by the Bosch PowerTube battery, this one is 625 watt hours, I would almost call this high-capacity, I love that BULLS is leading the way and making the setup more standardized across the line like the older Bosch PowerPacks were, this one is 36v 17.4ah and has a LED charge level indicator readout
Charging is done with Bosch’s 1.7lb 4amp portable battery charger, this is much faster at charging than some of the 2amp chargers you sometimes see out there, I love that BULLS not only included a charging port cover on the frame, but they also moved the port up high so the crank arm doesn’t get in the way and you don’t have to bend down much at all now to get to the charger
I should also mention the battery is secured via lock and key with an ABUS key card, so you can get matching keys made for other locks on the bike and essentially just have one key to rule them all, really a convent setup since you don’t have to fish around for the right key if you are in a hurry or out in the cold
Bosch Purion is the display utilized here, it is compact, out of the way, easy to read, and has most of the metrics as a readout anyone might want, I love how straight forward and intuitive it is, it may be their more basic display, but it is still better than many other companies and bears the reliability of the Bosch name well

Cons:

The Purion display is nice and easy to ready, however, it is not color, nor does it have a more accurate battery percentage readout, newer bikes are ditching the battery infographic that only shows how much battery you have in chunks to go with a percentage readout so you know exactly how much you have left, the USB on here also does not charge but is only meant for diagnostics, the display is good, just getting long in the tooth at this point in time
Although the bike is high-quality and fitted with many brand name components, the price could be a factor for some people, there are a lot of cheap options out there these days and this bike does fantastic to set itself apart from them, but for many, that $4,699 price will be a big determining factor in what bike they choose
The flat handlebar setup may not be for everyone, these give you an agile feel, but it is also somewhat aggressive with a forward riding geometry, if you are looking for a comfortable riding position or something akin to a cruiser ebike, this may not meet your needs
A lot of commuter ebikes are going with a front suspension setup, this bike does not have one, it is a bit of a shame too, since the price point is a little higher and the quality throughout is nice, however, they opted not to include one which is a bummer seeing how much these can help in cracks and dips in the road
In addition to the flat handlebars and lack of suspension fork, there is no suspension seat post either, as mentioned this is a typical upgrade for most bikes, and I recommend if you are wanting a little more comfort you grab an aftermarket one for this bike, but again, there is no suspension of any kind included with the price, so keep that in mind
So yes, the bike is stiff, some people like the agile, sporty, and lightweight feel, and don’t get me wrong, it is befitting on fast bikes like this, it gives it a responsive ‘sports-car’ like feel through and through, this is perfect for some riders, just keep in mind if this does not excite you, you will notice the stiff feeling
Minor gripe here, but the included rear rack has no platform, it is really only good for hanging bags, which to be honest, is what most people use racks for, I just think it is nice to have a platform to load stuff up on if you don’t have a bag that will fit the cargo, luckily here, you can swap out the rack for a different one if you so desire

Hi Court. Great review as always. I haven’t commented here before, but I’ve been reading and watching your reviews for about 6 months now.

I have to admit that I was leaning towards the Bulls Grinder Evo until I saw this. Now I’m not sure if this or the Grinder would be best. I love the 1:1 gear ratio on the Urban’s chain ring, but was disappointed over the lack of suspension. I think that, as I get older, I’m really going to start needing that front fork suspension, especially after my recent shoulder dislocation. But I’m not jazzed by the 2.5:1 gear ratio on the Grinder, particularly after you mentioned the drag effects. It makes me think of the early ebikes (including the Giant I used to ride over 12 years ago) that were a real PITA to ride after the battery died.

My commute is about 10 – 12 miles (depending on which route I take) of roads that vary from smooth, to rough pavement all the way to riddled with potholes. If I had smooth road or cycle tracks, it would be a no brainer and I’d probably go for the Urban. However, because of the pavement issues and the fact that my ride is mostly a north/south ride with stiff northerly winter winds and summer “delta breezes” from the west or southwest, the Grinder’s drops and suspension look pretty good. But that dang chain ring ratio!

Any thoughts that might help me decide one way or the other would be greatly appreciated!

Howdy! I can see and understand the trade-off you’re considering here and the issues are ones that I care about as well. Personally, I always err on the side of comfort and suspension. Even going so far as to get suspension seat posts or go full suspension! It costs more, but the bikes just feel amazing and I find that I ride more often and feel comfortable going faster. One of my favorite BULLS models to date is the ICONIC EVO which has been updated for 2020 in the US. Sure, many of the Gen 3 Bosch motors have that little bit of drag, and it does make a small difference if you run out of battery… but that’s a big iff these days, given that mid-drive motors are so efficient, that the Bosch charger is so compact and lightweight (you can bring it with you for emergencies) and that the 500+ watt hour batteries seem to get 25 miles at the very minimum… up to 60 or even 100 miles if the terrain is flat and you’re using lower levels of assist. Frankly, I think that any of the bikes you’re looking at could work great, but it’s difficult and expensive to add suspension later, so I always focus on that first ;)

Thanks for you feedback! Yes, I was starting to lean more towards the Grinder again when you pointed out that the range is a lot better these days. Then I discovered the Haibike SDURO Trekking S 9.0 and the Juiced CrossCurrent X. Now I’m back to undecided but leaning towards the Juiced because of it’s really good price point. Neither have the drops I was looking for but both are very well equipped and the throttle on the Juiced is an unexpected bonus. Some of the quality issues and user complaints I’ve read on the EBR forums give me pause though. Is it true what I’ve read that Juiced arrives “mostly complete” but with “some assembly required?” If it’s just adding tires and a few other components, then I don’t think that’s a big deal.

Decisions decisions. Anyway, thanks again for the response!

Hello, having had the advantage to speak with the factory representatives. I am curious to know being that this model is still in the pre-order status how willing is the company to work with the customer in customizing the bike. I am wanting to add a front suspension fork to this model, switch the handle bars out from the Lacuba Evo lite, and as well as adding the Bosch Kiox to the display. From what I have found in the written information that things should interchange over from one model to another. Any help with information or contacts who I could could speak to would be most helpful. Thank Rodney!

Hi Rodney! Perhaps BULLS would be able to do some customizing, but I can’t speak directly for them. It might cost a bit extra to switch displays, but there are also many ebike shops that are willing to do this (as well as switch forks, handlebars, etc.) and one that I know if is Propel Bikes in Long Beach, California. Anyway, here’s the BULLS site where you should be able to get more info. Good luck!
