Hey what's up everybody? Sami Here.
Today we are here in Shenzhen, one of the best cities in China.
Beautiful day, isn't it? And we are looking at the possibly best urban e-bike from Eleglide.
The Eleglide Citycrosser.
What's special about it? Let's take a closer look.
Starting with the design.
The Eleglide Citycrosser looks pretty much like a standard e-bike at first glance but there are still several
things on this e-bike that I really like that I haven't found other e-bikes.
First is the front rack.
Like for me I always carry a bag whenever I go out or go working.
This is the perfect place to place my bike or luggage.
Please note that there's no border here so actually there's no limit for
you to put things on it, no matter how long, what size it is, you can just put on it.
But you have to notice the max payload of this front rack is 18 kilograms, that's enough right?
Second what I really love is the adjustable seat.
It's one size fits all, whether you're five feet or six feet five,
it works for all of you.
Also we have the removable battery, the LCD display.
What's most importantly,
is the 27.5 inch by 1.5 inch tires. I really love it.
Unlike those fat tires that may give you a better riding experience on rough terrains,
this kind of city tires give you a much more nimble, rigid,
and more enjoyable cycling experience.
And you know what this Citycrosser is lightweight.
It weighs only 22 kilograms!
But don't be fooled by its compact size, there's much power hidden in this Citycrosser.
Let's hop on this bike and give it a ride, let's go!
Regarding the riding experience with the Eleglide Citycrosser,
it’s just a blast to ride. Unlike many other e-bikes that I’ve reviewed before that may come
with cadance sensors, the Citycrosser offers the torque sensor. For me personally, I just love that
cycling experience out of it because the power delivery is more instant and feels
more natural to pedal. Most importantly is that I get a good amount of workout with low assistance.
That’s important for me as I really don’t have that much time to hit a gym, or maybe because
I’m too lazy. I just can take advantage of the commuting time to exercise a bit. It’s just
great. The 27” tires work well at absorbing some bumps in the road. I feel comfortable and stable
on different kinds of city roads whether it’s well-maintained or rough, it’s just an enjoyment
to ride. But of course, it doesn’t replace those fat-tire e-bikes for high-impact roads. If you
really want a fat-tire e-bike, the Eleglide offers that as well – the Eleglide Tankroll. You can wait
for my review on that. Still most people will be using the Citycrosser on fairly decent streets and bike lanes.
The range is about 75km, as the distance between my office and home is only 5km,
so for me I only need to charge once a week, I really can’t complain about that.
As for the speed, I can easily reach up to 22 or 23km/h on flat ground without too much pedaling.
If I really want to pedal, I can just get over as many steep slopes as I want. It feels so nimble
and easy to cycle around.
Oh, did I mention it’s lightweight? So you can easily take it on the metro,
take it to work every day, it really does fit into your everyday city life.
Overall, I’m pretty happy with the riding. It is a fantastic commuter option, it’s comfortable, it's got a big
battery, a good rack to put everything on it, and especially the cycling experience, I can really
get the real thrill of cycling and that matters.
Alright that's the video. I hope you enjoyed watching it as much as enjoyed ridding it.
Simple, nimble, and fun! I think this is the best urban e-bike I've ever had.
And if you want the best cycling experience to power you through your daily commutes,
