Great review, thanks! I wish someone would review the eOne-sixty 575, but based mostly on this review and one other, both praising the 975, I got the 575 and it's really good! So here are my impressions from using the eOne-sixty 575 for a few months: Great price performance, especially with how expensive eMTBs are in my country (not US or EU). For me, I use it for hauling equipment with a Burley Travoy (~50kg) mostly off-road in rocky desert with ~200 meter per kilometer ascent (very steep hill) out to ~3km. The ride is superb, the size M is just about perfect ergonomics for me at ~1.8 meter and ~70 kg. The EP8 motor is surprisingly great for my use case, working with great torque and smoothness taking advantage of relatively short chain length. The weight of the bike and long wheelbase is an advantage for stability. The smooth dropper seat is easy and fast to raise and lower even while in motion when needed. Coming back down hill with all that weight on a bumpy, rocky, sandy and gravelly path is very steady and feels secure on the 575, the 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes work just right. I kept the standard Kenda Regolith tires and just filled the inner tubes with the proper amount of self-healing anti-puncture liquid which works great for the spiky "goathead" burrs which are numerous and unavoidable here - I also filled the the tubes of the Travoy cart wheels with that. The gearing (11 gears) seems a great design choice and a great fit for the EP8 motor - I find that it will easily 'pop a wheely' if I start in 'turbo' on a gear lower than 4 (which I don't do, I usually start with no motor power in gear 7, and it's fine.) Pedaling the bike with no engine power is pretty easy on reasonably flat surfaces with little incline, but it's much more pleasant using at least eco mode on softer surfaces and/or incline. Finally, under my use case I get ~75 km range until the battery is at 20% (one out of five on the battery level gauge) and then I recharge, which is supposed to keep the battery healthy and have a longer life. Remember that about half the time or more I ride with total weight ~145 kg on steep hills. ETA: The built-in LED headlight is turned on and off from the control/display, it works fine at night, as long as it's aimed properly, for non high-speed riding (
@EMTB Videos So ... you really would recommend the 975? Do you think it is ok for going uphill in technical climbs, too? Or is the chainstay length a problem then? Thank you!
It was an engaging and fun ride on those descents. But there are of course more nimble bikes with faster handling out there. And while I can climb pretty much anything on this bike, there are bikes that will climb more easily and relaxed. If climbing hills so steep they're difficult to walk, then I'd look for something with a steeper effective seat tube and a bit longer rear end. If not, then these 440 mm chainstays bikes are good enough for me. Push the saddle forwards on the seatpost to improve seating position for climbing.
@@EMTBVideos Thank you for the answer! Do you have 2 - 3 recommendations for that "more nimble bikes with faster handling out there"? Actually not sure if it is generally the better option for me to wait until late summer/autumn when new bikes with the Fazua 60 will be released.
The carbon frame versions of the eOne-Sixty for instance. I haven't ridden the new Canyon Spectral:ON CF yet, but it seems like a good candidate. The 2021 carbon Trek Rail wasn't too heavy, haven't ridden the 2022 750Wh version though. And then there's the Orbea Rise H or M.
Jeg er ikke sikker. Det kan gå, men setepinnen er kanskje for lang. Men vi på rett over 180 cm trives på både M og L. M burde være stabil og stødig for 175 cm kroppslengde.

Thank you so much
Looking into the 575 myself and this was very helpful 🙏🙏
Good to see the previous bikes .....it doesn't seem too heavy for a 750Wh battery.
Nice bike.
Great review 👍
And it sits low on the frame considering the size and capacity
Is this bike available in uk ? I have the e160 limited and love it but really want something with a bigger capacity battery.
sounds like an insent was needed on the rear wheel ...but seems to my next bike !
Yeah, thankfully the rear wheel survived (:
Is it possible to replace the simplo battery with a Bosch battery of similar capacity?
Unfortunately no, the Bosch 750Wh battery only works with the Bosch Smart System motors. And I guess the Bosch battery would be too big as well.

Change out the Shimano EP8 for the Oli Edge pedal assist motor pls I know u got connections, make for a excellent video
Rammekalkulatoren forelsår M.. er 175 høy men kan jeg gå for L?
Jeg er ikke sikker. Det kan gå, men setepinnen er kanskje for lang. Men vi på rett over 180 cm trives på både M og L. M burde være stabil og stødig for 175 cm kroppslengde.
