#Ezip electric bike update

However, these stellar upgrades come with slightly increased costs-Ride1Up prices the Prodigy V2 with CVT at $2,395. Plus, they are easier to service as the rear wheel can be removed like a non-assist bike. The central placement of the motor helps to balance the weight of the bike front-to-back, making it easier to ride and control. With more consistent power transfer and an intuitive pedaling feel, mid-drive motor-equipped e-bikes usually outperform hub-motor bikes in our ride testing. These features provide some premium-level performance to an already great platform based around Brose’s mid-drive Sprinter motor. The V2 has some serious upgrades over the first-generation Prodigy: an Enviolo continuously variable rear hub, Gates’ carbon belt drive, and a 100mm travel air spring suspension fork are the standouts. So, while we haven’t yet ridden Ride1Up’s new Prodigy V2, the bike has us pretty excited. We're fans of the Prodigy V1 and we like Enviolo CVT trekking hub.

The bike's weight and components limit its functionality on singletrack and for more aggressive mountain bike riding. We found the Aventure.2 well-suited for commutes (especially on snowy days and gravel pathways) and off-road on doubletrack trails. In addition to the new torque sensor, the Aventure.2 has an updated head unit interface, integrated turn signals, front light, rear rack, and fenders. Some of our test riders found the previous model to have too much torque, particularly for lighter-weight riders or those new to e-bikes the Aventure.2 remedied this fault. The new torque sensor allows more control over the acceleration of Aventure's 750W rear hub motor, making the bike's ride more intuitive. However, once outside, the small changes feel huge.Ĭompared to the original Aventure, the Aventure.2 rides much smoother. At first glance, there are not many big visual differences between the original Aventure and this second-generation model.
