this is the rymic infinity 3. it is a new brand that I am covering here in the channel so what
they're aiming at is a more affordable City Urban commute bike we've got a frame and setup that has
a total weight of 18 kilos which is not bad for an e-bike it has 700 C Wheels with Kinder road tires
we've got a seven speed Shimano set up with gears so at least it doesn't have one of those belt
drives with just the single speed and our brakes are brand brakes too Tech drone mechanical disc
brakes 160 millimeters so it has a rear hub motor the output from this one is restricted so it's 250
Watts which is the EU limit and you cannot go any faster than 25 kilometers per hour with the assist
so it's got three pedal assist levels once you go over 25 it cuts out and then you're just on your
own Pedal Power there which is normal so with this bike you'll see that it does does have a lockable
removable battery it's 10 amp hours or 360 Watt hours and they claim it should have a range of up
to 100 kilometers the rear hub motor is a brand motor too so it's a me Vice and they're using
a torque sensor with it so the power delivery is smooth and it's pretty much instantaneous which is
what you want so it has up to 46 newton meters of torque and the maximum output with the EU version
is limited to 250 Watts so we don't have a speed sensor in the crank it is a torque sensor the
welds do look good the paint job finish I like it's this dark gray metallic the version I have
here with a few areas that are silver now front hub does have a quick release making any puncture
repairs nice and easy to get the wheel off but we don't have this with the rear unfortunately
and the rear is exactly the same 160 millimeter tectro mechanical disc brake
rymac has selected a seat that is reasonably comfortable no real complaints from me about it
it's got a bit of sponge to it and we do have an adjustable seat post with a quick release
the bike does come with this rear tail light now it's an LED one it's not super bright but it does
the job it's included there of course you can upgrade this to something a little more powerful
you can see here at night that the lighting on the bike isn't bad at all so with the front headlight
it is a reasonably powerful LED one it does have a bit of a lens to it so it focuses in front of
you for riding at night time as you can see now as I've been cruising along this was taken at about
11 p.m you can see that it lights up The Path sufficient enough even without any street lights I
can see where I need to go safely so it is an okay light that is included now the front headlight LED
that runs off the main battery but this rear one does not it's separate and needs two AAA batteries
so we have gears here from Shimano we've got seven speeds and the chain that they do use is a KMC so
that's a proper brand chain and even though it is entry-level Shimano Tourney it still is good
and it's reliable better than a no brand derelia the front crank as you can clearly see does have
a alloy chain guard around it so that's good for protecting the chain and also to make sure
it doesn't come off this way if it ever was to come off the bike does have a removable battery
it's 10 amp hours or 360 Watt hours there is if you press the power button here a little battery
gauge so you can see if it is fully charged before you actually put it in the bike now to remove it
is a key so it's locked in place no one can just go along and steal it and when you unlock it here
that pops it up and then you can easily just take it out now this is a generic battery size that I
have seen before used in other bikes so it should be easy to Source a replacement there is a little
waterproof cap that is over where the charging port is charge time you're looking at around about
three and a half hours but they do apparently sell a high speed fast charger that will do it in two
and a half hours which is great considering it's a 10 amp hour battery so the brake levers they feel
good they are from tectro with the front brake here we do have a bow incorporated into the lever
as you can hear it is quite loud and the grips these are lock grips spongy they're not turning
around or going anywhere on me which is really good and then we have our trip computer so to
power it on you do need to First enter a password that's good in a way that stops
anyone that decides to try and steal the bike at least they're not going to have the power assist
the pedal assist we've got three levels with it so either off one two or three and then you see
here that we have a trip meter the odometer our maximum speed average speed and current speed
can be shown and the battery is clearly shown right here on the left percent and then the
little gauge right there as you can see now it is a little hard to make out in direct sunlight
but not too bad but I've seen screens that are a lot clearer than this one that's just a minor
little complaint here from me when it comes to the screen the Shimano gear selector here
is very easy to use and it has a clear gauge so you can see which of the seven gears you are in
now on to what it's like to ride here the Affinity three the kickstand I wanted to point out that it
is sturdy and it has not let the bike down let it fall over that is and it doesn't seem to Rattle
what does rattle is the battery located within the frame there which is of course removable that
I showed you just before now the frame size for me at least is working out to be pretty good it feels
nice and comfortable now as soon as you start to Pedal you basically get that power straight away
from the 46 Newton meter torque 250 watt motor so with a torque sensor the power delivery is very
smooth and it's basically instant you just get it straight away when you need it unlike other
bikes with speed sensors some of them it doesn't kick in until you do about five kilometers four
kilometers per hour then you get the power the power delivery is very smooth and you can see here
with the frame size that I don't have any risk of my knees striking the handlebars I got plenty
of room here I'm 184 centimeters tall and The Handlebar height could be a little bit higher I'm
crouched down just a little but I don't think it's going to be at the point where I will get I saw
back or anything like that so even though the Torx sensor is quite good it kicks in straight away you
still want to be in the right gear when you pull out from an intersection or you're coming out of
around about like me right now here so the gears Shimano the shifts are very good up and down no
problems with them I haven't had any grating of gears and overall riding on the road here is very
comfortable very easy very smooth so it will take me up to 25 kilometers per hour and you feel when
you get to about 25.5 it just disconnects that motor and you can feel the drag a little bit on it
now to get up and over 25 kilometers per hour if you do that you are not using then the battery at
all and you're going to extend your range a lot so I can pedal quite hard now and happily get up to
30 and even up to 35 kilometers per hour without using that motor because of the gearing in its
highest gear so here we are at my climb point so this is about 25 degrees now a lot of these bikes
fail this test because it is quite steep so I am in pedal assist level three and I'm just going to
go down gears here actually into the first gear so this is where other bikes that have the belts
they fall flat on their face here because you can't change the gear they're stuck in a high
gear but I've got a low gear now I'm able to go up this with relative ease it's not too bad but I
have to put a bit of effort in here so this is the limitation of the 250 watt motor this is where the
EU law I believe should change it should be 500 watts and then this climb would be a little easier
and what would happen if I turn off the pedal assist so let's find out it's off now and oh you
certainly notice it this is very difficult without that motor I'm going to have to stand up now to
power through this climb it is possible you're definitely going to get a workout if you've got
a flat battery I know my standard emergency brake test I'll do it from 30 kilometers from this post
whoa whoa whoa pretty hard to stop there it's so easy to lock up the rear wheels so I wish they
had hydraulics on the front and the backyard I think would be a little bit better a braking
performance is good the pads do bite in from techdro they are a little squeaky as you can hear
now to the end of the coast a pleasant ride really quite effortless on this
road just how smooth it really does cruise along so nice foreign
so what about our range I'm able to get around about six sometimes seven kilometers per ten
percent out of this bike which is pretty good considering the fact that it has a 10 amp hour
battery which is a little larger than some of the other bikes that I've reviewed with this style say
the 700c wheels they normally come with seven amp hour batteries and normally they're not removable
they're actually internal inside the frame so they're not user removable whereas this is and
as I mentioned when we looked at the battery pack I've actually seen this exact design this exact
Dimension here used by some other brands so it seems to be generic which is a good thing you're
able be able to Source a replacement battery quite easily so that's one of the different positives of
this bike so braking performance from the tektro mechanical disc brakes 160 millimeters is average
it could be a little bit better but great glad to see that they haven't actually gone with a generic
brand which would have worse performance I find that the pads from tectro that they're using they
do give quite a good bite and almost a little bit too powerful for of the rear because it's
very easy to lock that up and you do have to be careful with the front that you if you break a
little too hard of course in the wet you've got that risk of slipping over which everyone knows
of course speaking of wet too if you're going to be riding it in the rain well sadly there are no
mud guards so I do hope that later they do include a package there that you can get mud guards for it
so the build overall is decent I like the weight as well 18 kilos a lot of people would say well
hang on 18 kilos is super heavy for a bike with this size rim and being a city bike as well but
considering the fact it's got a larger 10 amp hour battery the motor it's not actually too
bad so many of these e-bikes they do cover will have weights excess of 20 kilos sometimes 23 24
kilos with a similar kind of style and size to it so that's good it's a comfortable seat post
it's very smooth and cruisy riding the climbing performance from that 250 watt motor feels quite
restricted because of the EU law this is where I think they need to revise that EU law 250 Watts
simply is not enough for Steep climbs it needs to be double that really 500 watts should be the
limit there but at least we've got the gears here which other bikes do not have some of those bikes
only of course have a single speed a belt drive system which is smoother less maintenance but
then if you have to climb a lot that becomes a big issue whereas at least you can drop it
down into the lower gear and you can still go up those climbs now riding on the flat is very good
with this bike it's fast it's smooth we've got great rolling resistance from the Kinder K West
tires and I do find that a lot of the times I'm riding over 25 kilometers per hour so you're not
even touching that battery and the battery Bank you can remove it it's lockable so as
mentioned easily replaceable too which is great there so overall this is a decent bike and the
only cons for me are the braking performance the screen could be a little clearer and this
battery does rattle around so they're just minor little cons there that I hope they can
improve upon so thank you so much for watching my review here of the Infiniti 3 City e-bike
