quiet and get an idea of weather along your planned route, I love that theres a Micro-USB port for charging your phone as you use the app and ride In addition to bluetooth, the COBI system supports ANT+ which could be used with a heart rate monitor, the display also shows your pedal stroke power and RPM to get deeper insights on what kind of exercise is happening and sync with Apple Health The battery is really small, perhaps you could get a spare to stick in a bag, the charger is also pretty lightweight and has a tough metal end so it should hold up better over time if jostled around or dropped Great hardware upgrades, the rims use reinforcement eyelets and both wheels have thru-axles, the kickstand is positioned clear of the left crank arm and is adjustable, the sturdy alloy pedals from VP Cons: The bike felt pretty good to me because it uses higher volume 27.5 x 2.4 tires and ergonomic grips, but the fork is rigid aluminum (not as comfortable as steel, carbon fiber, or a suspension fork), at high speeds the bike can cause some back, neck, arm, and wrist fatigue on bumpy roads, consider a 31.6 mm seatpost suspension Plastic fenders tend to rattle more, these ones seemed very secure (and are made by SKS, which is a leader in the space) but they may not be as silent as tubular alloy fenders and could get warped (the front fender was a little off to the side on our demo bike in the video and images above) Its great that the bike uses a sturdy 15 mm thru-axle for the front wheel because it adds strength and rigidity compared to a 9 mm skewer, but the quick release mechanism makes it vulnerable so always lock the front wheel along with the frame, there are fewer options for 15 mm security hardware like Pinheads on the market right now The COBI app takes a bit of time and patience to setup, we had to charge the bike and let the COBI mount fill up before it could download a software update and then sync with our phone before doing another software update, expect 1+ hours of time just screwing around before you can use the phone No bottle cage bosses on the seat tube (or anywhere) which is too bad, youve got the rear rack to work with and could mount a trunk bag or panniers there, but its nice to use bosses for folding locks and other accessories when you dont want to bring a bag and it really seems like there was room on the frame, you might be able to use an SKS Anywhere adapter set like this with the fatter seat tube but Im not 100% sure I was surprised that the Shimano Deore XT derailleur on this bike does not have the one-way clutch to tighten the derailleur spring and reduce chain bounce and slap, its a feature I see on this same component group level for a lot of other speed pedelec electric bicycles Minor consideration here, just be careful with the battery pack (mounting and dismounting to store or charge off-bike) because theres no handle or loop to give you a secure hold, at least the bike is stable with the kickstand so getting the pack off shouldnt be too tricky like some mountain models, I noticed that the locking cylinder for the battery is not spring loaded so you do have to spend a bit more time and effort locking the pack back onto the bike The COBI control pad has a white LED that can be a little bright and distracting, along with your smartphone shining up into your face I rode in the dark and was trying to figure out how to dim the lights or go into night mode, please chime in with a comment below if you know how to do this or have feedback Even though theres a cool siren alarm (that must sense wheel movement, because its extremely sensitive) there isnt any sort of phone notification to let the owner know about tampering, its just a simple audible alarm to alert passers by who might see the thief The front plastic fender was a bit twisted and this could have been because of how the wires were routed or just how it was shipped, I have found that positioning it correctly with some cardboard or styrofoam underneath and using a hair dryer or other gentle heat source (even just the sun) can help to straighten plastic back out, just be careful not to leave the battery outside in the hot sun because its hard on the cells Resources: Official Site: More Pictures: Reader Interactions EBR charges a service fee to manufacturers to produce ebike reviews and videos, this began in 2018
