NCM Moscow Review - $1.5k

The NCM Moscow is a cross country style hard-tail e-mountain bike with 80mm suspension fork, knobby trail tires, and sturdy alloy pedals, includes a trigger throttle up to 20mph. Lots of adjustability with the display panel, including speed, the 12-magnet cadence sensor is very responsive, motor inhibitor of one of the leverss, large 180mm mechanical brake in the front with a 160mm in the rear. Sloping top tube makes the bike easier to mount and stand over, rear rack provisions and bottle cage bosses add utility, also has provisions for fenders, so you could really make this quite the commuter. Mechanical brakes rather than hydraulic, the kickstand works decently well but can block the left crank arm when down, 2amp charing is slow for the high capacity battery, some wires stand out vs. being completely internal.

Hola! Bought a NCM Moscow 29er about 3 weeks ago and 170mi in, I'm stoked! Getting incredible mileage (45 to 65mi between charges). I purposely took a 5mi ride without any assist and found it easy to ride. The assembly was fairly straight ahead, but I suggest a professional tune up before any serious ridding. Love this ride for the money with little criticism. By the way, it comes in matt white with blue trim along with black.

love it, 5500 miles, power, sturdy, affordable. They'v kept down price by using readily
available, tried& true, generic parts instead of model specific ones. It's my daily driver.

This review has sealed my decision to get the Moscow plus 27.5 inch! Thank you so much I’m super excited now!! Also I just love that electric blue!

I've reviewed so many bikes I could write a book. I narrowed my selections down to the EAHORA AM100, Wallke Plus and Totem MX1 which are beasts, but they cost a lot and in the end, I'm 52 yrs old, have had 3 back surgeries and just want something with some decent power (up to 20mph) and absorbs the bumps. I won't be doing serious off-road riding, so there's no reason to spend over 2 grand. - So, it's down to the Moscow and the Moscow Plus. I figure, the money I save can go into a suspension seatpost, a gel seat and other accessories. - Thanks for the video. It was perfect. It gave a lot of info and didn't waste my time trying to make a music video featuring the bike.

I just bought this bike last week. Last two rides totaled 72 miles on a single charge. Great bike great battery 🔋 i’m amazed. I did get the 29+ model. Hydraulic brakes are better.

I'm in nz . Purchased one 7 weeks ago. Has completed 2100km . M3 29 I'm 6ft 4.5 and 108 kg. Run 45lb tyres lubricate pedals with outbound grease and the rest with crc spray can. 16 k takes me 31 minutes. Setting 6 I'm lazy. Carry cargo on back packs linked by carabiner. Good machine.

I have a Moscow 29er. I absolutely love it. It comes in two paint schemes. Black, or like mine, white.

[MrBluemoonhalos]

I love that there's just a random hole in the ground in front of the bike.

Just bought a abused ncm moscow and the front shocks were seized so I replaced it with a rock shock and man it helps! I also upgraded to hydraulic disc brakes shamano high recommend it.

[MattSomethingOrOther]

[michaelturner]

NCM Moscow Dorado Battery failure with less than 20 charge cycles

My NCM Moscow battery failed on the road. After just 13 months of ownership (but less than 6 months of recreational, no winter usage, and less than 20 charge cycles on the battery) my battery failed… I explained to the seller, Leon Cycle, but they were firm on 12-month warranty.
The battery goes on and off when shaken…save your money, components and service are key...and get a 2 year min warranty on battery.

I have a NCM Moscow 29'er. Awesome E-bike. They're is another color scheme. . White, with blue contrast... I have one... Cool..

[Bernard-bc]

I have one of these and its excellent.. I live on 1000 acres with a small mountain range in it.. this bike goes everywhere... I wish I could find a headlight, tail light and rear carry-rack? Small mudguards? If anyone knows.. I'm in Adelaide South Australia...
