My ebike has exactly that frame, same battery, etc but made by a different company. The guy that sold it to me said the frame used by heaps of brands in china. Its a very solid frame but heavy. Mine is a 350w motor and I think its fine, but I have removed the restriction on speed so it goes up to about 35kph on max power, there was a setting in my controller to change that. I have ridden it for 5000km over 3 years and it's still reliable and my main transport to and from work.

Keep smiling Dave. Soldier on and you’ll be out the other side sooner than you think. Keep peddling and stay safe 🚴👍

250watts isn’t a lot on a hub dive but on a mid drive motor it’s enough because they have the torx for the hills

[tmayberry]

Yes Dave you like riding bikes 😊 WHY? Because Dave Rides Everything 😊😊

i just purchased my first ebike. It was a bold decision for me to take because i always believed cycling should make you fit and sweat.

Whether 250w is enough all depends on where you live, I'd say. If you live in a hilly area - and especially if use it for shopping etc - then it's not enough. Most 250w have 36v batteries so the 48v on this I guess gives it a little boost.

I had a 250 watt ebike for awhile but I actually think it's enough, at least for me.

I have the trek Powerfly 4 gen 4. Bosch 250 watt. 85 nm torque.
It makes me feel like superman.
I piss the roadies off passing them on the hills. 😂 Its a beast.

Who is going to bust you with a 500w
Police are just too busy to bother

[mikebicycle]

no, 250 watts is nothing but a kids toy, you need atleast 750 watts for hills, every city has big hills,

Come with 250w in the US and you'll get dusted by granny in a hov-around.
