I’m skeptical of the one or two sizes of e-bikes fit all. Yes the seat may be raised or lowered and sometimes the handlebar may be adjusted, but 5’4” to 6’2”is a huge difference. One of the stats that is not mention by EBR, any other reviewer or manufacturer is crank arm length. Someone 5’4” will be more comfortable with a shorter length and a rider 6’2” longer. What is the accepted standard for e-bikes? 165, 170, 175 or 180 mm?
No such thing as an "accepted standard for e-bikes". Like about anything.... crank length isn't a straight line from shorter to taller. Some short riders like longer crank throws, some tall riders like spinning smaller circles. You are right about 1 size, distances from seat to handlebar, seat to pedals, etc all quite different in properly sized bikes. 1 size fits all is about 1 thing. Inventory management. ;)
@@mikeb1039 My thought feels with top center to bottom center. A short person (short legs not torso) could end up rocking at the hip to reach center down or center top. For example I had to reduce the neck of the stem to not overextend my arms and change to a 165 pedal to protect my knees and hips. That was on a 47.5 seat tube bike. Unless I’m the only person. On second thought one is not looking for spin efficiency at 110 or 120 rotations on an e-bike. Sorry just wanted to clarify my thought.
Every single non moped style E Bike made should explain how thiere model is better than a Wired Freedom full suspension or Wired Cruiser step through. The standard is set for the $1,600-$2,200 price bikes. The bar is high.. Does your choice meet the bar or surpass it? Or does your bike fall way short? On this channel we may never see the Kepler or Wired bikes..bummer
Nothing special.. Left hand thumb throttle takes away from hand and arm signals. 500 watts is just blah! 42 tooth front spocket would not be fun at 20 plus. How can i go from an Ariel Rider Kepler for $1,800 to this bike at over $2,000? What about a Wired Freedom at $2k with full suspension and 60V 20 ah battery that you can pedal up to 35mph and goes almost 40 mph? I guess each person has his or her idea of what $2,000 is best spent on. Size and fit have a factor certainly.
You nailed it! Everyone has their preferences. We'd love to review the Kepler, but we'd be out of work if we named that (or any other single e-bike) the best. We'd also be doing a disservice to those with different needs, so we do our best to evaluate every bike on its own merits.
