I bought this bike because it doesn't "look" like an e-bike! Most people don't even know it has a motor. PROS: 1. Looks like a normal bike. The frame fit and finish are gorgeous. Lots of compliments! 2. Geometry is great; I'm 5'7" and the small frame is perfect, maybe a tad short in the top tube, so I ran a 120mm stem. 3. Lots of ways to improve - since it looks like a normal bike, you can easily upgrade. I love upgrading my bikes, so I did these things: - A carbon saddle - A carbon seat post (note the 30.4mm diameter is a strange one, you'll need an adapter - I went with a 30.4mm to 27.2mm sleeve) - A 120mm carbon stem - A carbon flat handlebar (much like a hybrid or MTB bar), super comfy! - A set of titanium pedals (Amazon), about half the weight of the stock pedals, and sealed bearings. - Lighter tires (The Challenger Gravel Grinder TLRs are 700 x 38, and super lightweight, 120 TPI casing so they roll smoothly! - A set of lightweight TPU inner tubes - I am not a fan of tubeless because I'm old school. The RideNow TPU tubes weigh a mere 30 grams each, about 10 grams less than the tire sealant used in tubeless tires, and NO mess! - Carbon cranks - Now this was a special project of mine. The cranks were ISIS spline drive, and the bottom bracket spindle is square taper. As an engineer, I designed special ISIS to square taper adapters (nobody makes these) so I could run my favorite FSA cranks, and had them machined from 17-4. - Smaller chainring - the bike comes with a rather tall 63T chainring. Combined with the 22T cog, it can be tough to pedal. I went with a 55T CDX chainring with a 112T belt. Now its super easy to pedal even without the motor. - The Tektro mechanical disc brakes are really nice. I personally don't subscribe to hydraulic anything on a bike. Unless you race, which you won't with this bike, mechanical brakes are more than enough. - Lightweight Ashima Air Rotor discs - I add the Ashima Air rotors to all my bikes. They look cool and save a few grams. - Titanium fasteners - this is kind of a specialty thing. Replacing all the bolts with titanium saved me all of maybe 150 grams, but my goal was to count every gram, but in an affordable way. CONS: 1. Weight is up there around 33 pounds, which is actually "light" for an e-bike. But my bike with my upgrades got me down to a svelte 28.5 pounds :) 2. Range - its anywhere from 17 to 30 miles, yours may vary. For me it wasn't a big deal since most of my rides are under 20 miles. If you enjoy rides more than 20 miles, consider the battery add-on. 3. Tires - the WTB tires are not the greatest. They are heavy and don't roll all that smoothly, but for most people they would be fine. 4. Big chainring - the 63T is much too big for most people I think, making it hard to pedal without the motor. A 55T would be more adequate. 5. Riser bar - I'm not a fan of riser bars, but that's just a personal preference. Overall this is a great bike. My first e-bike because I held out for something nice that would not break the bank! Fun to ride and fun to upgrade!

Great bike, nice ride. I liked it so well I bought my wife one I replaced the handle bar grips, replaced the seat with the Brooks leather seat from my previous bike, added a kick stand, and added a rack in back- Why does my Gravel V2 have a lower trip odometer reading than my wife's V2? Today I rode what I know to be a 20 mile ride, I have ridden it for years with different bikes and different speedomerters and it has always been 20 miles. The odometer on the bike was well over a mile shy of 20 miles. I rode with my wife this morning, 12 miles, and my bike said 11 miles. Is this because of the larger gravel tires? How can I correct this?

High quality, easy to assemble, smooth to ride and fast in pedal assist. Over 100 miles in 3 weeks and never touched the throttle

This is my first Ebike and I’ve put over 300 miles on it in my first month of ownership. The first week of riding the battery would only last 20 miles, but as my legs gained strength the battery will last me 35 miles on a single charge. Delivery took exactly 7 days from ordering to arrive in Salem MA. The order processing was quick and you will need to sign your package with FedEx. I’d recommend this for someone who wants to go out biking, but doesn’t have the leg strength to tackle big hills. Having the power assist gives you a sense of confidence that you don’t have with acoustic bikes. This bike is a car replacement for me and the simple design keeps maintenance to the minimum. While the bike is light for an Ebike, it’s heavy compared to a non electric road bike. Without the pedal assist you feel the extra weight of the batteries and resistance with the belt drive. To access the internal batteries on the bike frame the screw has a torx bit. For people without tools, having a torx bit screw driver included would be a nice addition to the Alan keys that come with the order. The internal battery compartment is perfect for storing an AirTag, and having an unusual screwbit will make this harder for a thief to disable. Overall I’m very happy with the purchase. It’s been incredibly reliable, fun to ride and a great design.
Sorry, no reviews match your current selections
This bike is so easy to use:
Charge.
Tell it how much help you want
Ride
Erase hills with a button
Ignore headwinds with a button
Keep riding
Brakes are really easy to modulate
How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. I put slightly taller bars on and added the grey comfort saddle I’ve been using for several years. Looks great. Feels great. Also 600x38 road tires.
I bought this bike because it doesn’t “look” like an e-bike! Most people don’t even know it has a motor.
PROS:
1. Looks like a normal bike. The frame fit and finish are gorgeous. Lots of compliments!
2. Geometry is great; I’m 5’7″ and the small frame is perfect, maybe a tad short in the top tube, so I ran a 120mm stem.
3. Lots of ways to improve – since it looks like a normal bike, you can easily upgrade.
I love upgrading my bikes, so I did these things:
– A carbon saddle
– A carbon seat post (note the 30.4mm diameter is a strange one, you’ll need an adapter – I went with a 30.4mm to 27.2mm sleeve)
– A 120mm carbon stem
– A carbon flat handlebar (much like a hybrid or MTB bar), super comfy!
– A set of titanium pedals (Amazon), about half the weight of the stock pedals, and sealed bearings.
– Lighter tires (The Challenger Gravel Grinder TLRs are 700 x 38, and super lightweight, 120 TPI casing so they roll smoothly!
– A set of lightweight TPU inner tubes – I am not a fan of tubeless because I’m old school. The RideNow TPU tubes weigh a mere 30 grams each, about 10 grams less than the tire sealant used in tubeless tires, and NO mess!
– Carbon cranks – Now this was a special project of mine. The cranks were ISIS spline drive, and the bottom bracket spindle is square taper. As an engineer, I designed special ISIS to square taper adapters (nobody makes these) so I could run my favorite FSA cranks, and had them machined from 17-4.

– Titanium fasteners – this is kind of a specialty thing. Replacing all the bolts with titanium saved me all of maybe 150 grams, but my goal was to count every gram, but in an affordable way.
CONS:
1. Weight is up there around 33 pounds, which is actually “light” for an e-bike. But my bike with my upgrades got me down to a svelte 28.5 pounds 🙂
2. Range – its anywhere from 17 to 30 miles, yours may vary. For me it wasn’t a big deal since most of my rides are under 20 miles. If you enjoy rides more than 20 miles, consider the battery add-on.
3. Tires – the WTB tires are not the greatest. They are heavy and don’t roll all that smoothly, but for most people they would be fine.
4. Big chainring – the 63T is much too big for most people I think, making it hard to pedal without the motor. A 55T would be more adequate.
5. Riser bar – I’m not a fan of riser bars, but that’s just a personal preference.
Overall this is a great bike. My first e-bike because I held out for something nice that would not break the bank! Fun to ride and fun to upgrade!
How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. I got a small frame and I'm 5'7". Fits great with a longer stem.

How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. I'm 6 foot. ordered the large frame. Fits fine, except I wish I could move the seat back an inch or two
High quality, easy to assemble, smooth to ride and fast in pedal assist. Over 100 miles in 3 weeks and never touched the throttle
How does the bike* fit? Please share your height/size and the frame type you ordered, if applicable. Small frame with comfort seat option. I'm 5'3"and did well with seat at lowest position
