9 years agoI’ve been (mostly) shopping among the more expensive ebikes. So what I appreciated most about this review is that it offers a helpful perspective on the tradeoff of lower cost vs. fewer (or less capable) features. And it does offer value: Very quiet motor, the BH warranty (extendable to 5 years) and wider dealer network, the classy appearance, BH reliability and enough capability to serve as a reliable in-town commuter. Interestingly, it helped confirm for me that more features, longer range and more power is the right choice for me…but it’s easy to see how this would suit many potential ebike urban riders. The #1 ‘mod’ I would make with this bike is buy a second battery and the extended range it promises. Court, any notion of how much cost that would add to the equation? At 3# it’s not much more weight than the charger, so one carries almost no extra weight if otherwise needing to charge at the office and yet gains more range for weekend rides. Choices are always nice. ;)

9 years agoHi Jack! I appreciate your feedback and am glad you found value with this review. You zeroed in on some of the key benefits of less noise, great warranty and wider dealer network and it sounds like you’re getting close to a decision on something. To be clear, the battery is ~2.9 lbs and the charger is ~1.4 lbs so it’s double but because they are both relatively light weight maybe that’s not an issue? The dealer I spoke with tends to sell accessories for less and talked about the mid $300’s for price but I cannot speak for other dealers, I would guess $400 is close. If you’re able to fit onto the bike and prefer an active pedaling type of ride then this is a solid choice in my opinion :)

9 years agoHi Court, any plans of reviewing EASY MOTION EASYGO VOLT 2016 bike soon? From the manufacturer’s site, it shows this bike uses a 216Wh battery, if that is correct, it means I could check in this bike when I fly, right?

9 years agoHi Terry, I do hope to review this and other Emotion bikes soon-ish. Can’t comment on the flight restrictions for Lithium-ion battery packs… seems like they have been changing recently and maybe getting more strict due to the Hoverboard fires? On small private planes I believe it’s alright and some people just pass their small kick scooters off as being non-electric but I’ve never done it.

9 years agoGreat, look forward to that review… soon-ish! :-)
