E-Bike Review: The Snapcylce R1
. The reason there are two favorites and not a #1 and #2 favorite is that these bikes are for two very different jobs. The Townie is a Dutch-style utility bike that happens to be electric, and has premium parts, but it wouldn’t be very good off-road riding. The Radrover has been a favorite because it can easily take on desert trails, even when things get sandy.
The battery pack and motors are another step up. With 14 amp-hours of Samsung 35E cells, it’s definitely going to be pushing me around for years. The battery management system is CE-certified, and has its own thermal protection against high or low temperature , so I don’t have to worry about safety. The included quick charger puts out 3 amps, which means less time charging and more time riding.
Wrong. It actually rides very nicely. Once again, it’s no $3000-4000 bike, but it’s not that far off in experience. It’s smooth, has even power delivery, decent LED lighting, and is otherwise a pleasure to ride. It powers through dirt, up and over hills, and doesn’t lose its mojo on moderate terrain.
