4 years agoCourt, Looks like you still are not commenting on the pedaling effort with no assistance, which is important to some of us. Also, I didn’t see any comments on sizing, which would be helpful. Finally, the pedal to fender distance on this bike looks like it would be quite prone to toe strike.

4 years agoHi Larry! Thanks for the feedback, I’ve done two reviews recently with unassisted pedaling and actually do call out fender positioning. You can see it on the iGO Electric Core Extreme 2.0 and on a review that will launch this Tuesday morning ;) and I’ll keep your feedback in mind as I film other ebikes.

4 years agoNicely produced frame with good finish. Good value for money. Like the practical racks front & back. But why put cable brakes on it? Haven’t used/seen cables for a decade, and especially on a bike of this weight and speed capability. Bought two, and they had some differences when they arrived by courier. The one had a spacer washer on the rear mudguard which prevented the rear wheel from turning — oops QC. (Had to remove the rear wheel and rack changer to get at the bolt.)
The front rack of one unit, when bolted flush to the frame, was crooked, so the front tire and headlamp didn’t align – optically awkward. The saddles did not look like the one in the manual, and their pitch front/back could not be adjusted, so I am continually sliding off the front — annoying.
The 9 levels of electrical boost is nice, but I’ve found 4 or 5 levels to be more useful on other ebikes, as I’m not constantly adjusting the power. The 8-gear chain drive was limiting and set too low — I ride only in top (8) and seldom use the lower gears (perhaps this is done deliberately to ensure the bike doesn’t exceed the magic 32 kph power max).
The handlebar layout is tidy and ergonomic — love the quick adjustment lever to set height & pitch of the bars. The new battery provides plenty of range — we’ll see how that degrades over the years. Wish there was a lock & leave capability so the battery could be left in place but the bike can’t be switched on without the key. Currently, anyone can come along and start the bike if the battery is in place — no key necessary. And I don’t want to carry the battery around with me to prevent that happening.

4 years agoThanks for your feedback, Rick! It’s great to hear other hands-on thorough type reviews with details about the ride quality and programming. I really enjoyed reading your comment and hope you continue sharing, especially about how the battery performs long term :)

3 years agoSolid frame, very stable and comfortable ride. The narrow swept back handlebars are great. The bike is surprisingly powerful and fast – strong brakes, motor and battery. The bike has lots of accessories for the money. The rear rack design is very sturdy. The Schwalbe tires, lights front and rear, kickstand, racks, adjustable handlebars are all very welcome and mean you really do not have to add or upgrade anything.
I removed the chain guard to reduce the chance of chain rub and to make servicing it easier. I did not install the front rack – no need – and mounted the front light on the front fork which makes for a very clean look. A few things would have been nice to have: hydraulic brakes and a higher top gear to keep pace with the strong motor output.
Having ridden a lot of more upscale mid drives, I was not expecting to like this bike as much as I do. Did I mention that it is very zippy and fast? All in all, a solid, quick and well equipped bike, and very good value.

3 years agoWow, great commentary there Paul. I agree, iGo has been producing some awesome products lately, and shops have told me that their customer service is good too. Happy to hear that you’re enjoying the bike. Thanks for taking a moment to share :)
