Momentum Voya E+ 1 Review - $3.2k

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Momentum Voya E+ 1 Review is an efficient, light weight, road style electric bike with drop bars, and Class 1 performance. The all-aluminum frame and fork include mounting points for a front rack, rear rack, two bottle cages, and fenders! It's available in three frame sizes and two colors. Additional spacing at the fork and stays can accommodate higher volume treaded tires. Efficient 250 watt planetary geared hub motor delivers up to 25nm of torque. The motor controller measures pedal cadence, pedal torque, rear wheel speed, and motor output to provide a natural responsive feel. The bike is fun to pedal even when it's unpowered, and the 11-speed Shimano GRX gravel grinder drivetrain offers many comfortable cadence options. The battery pack is completely hidden inside the downtube, and not meant to be removed without tools. It offers 250 watt hours of capacity, and can power an optional headlight that Momentum sells. Compact fast charger offers 4 amps for quick refills, and only weighs 1.7lbs. The bike includes a two year warranty, and is sold through many dealers with good support. Ebike rated tires offer puncture protection and reflectivity for enhanced safety. Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors stop well and stay cleaner than rim brakes. No kickstand is included, the pedals are kind of basic, and the LED control panel provides very limited readouts. Optional remote button pad makes changing assist levels easier. Bluetooth smartphone app for iOS and Android allows for trip planning, display brightness, Strava integration, and more.

    I have been following your channel for a long time now and finally decided to purchase a Ebike and this was the chosen one for me your comments helped me a lot. I got this voya e+1 for $2200 canadian. I will also eventually share my comments on my activmike channel.

    I bought this bike, in indigo, a few weeks ago and I love it! I put on a kickstand and will upgrade the tires to handle gravel a bit better sometime but it’s so smooth. I see the control panel placement as a drawback from people but it really isn’t an issue once you get used to it. Thanks for this review!

    I was planning on getting a Topstone Neo SL2 then I saw this. Will 42mm tires fit the Voya? What level GRX ? Belt drive as an upgrade is very attractive. Will be using for long distance bikepacking.

    Loved this review and went out and ordered one from my local bike shop. The bike looks great. Unfortunately the mileage is MUCH lower than advertised. On level ground with no appreciable wind in medium assist the MOST I could get was 22.6 miles. I’m 5,9” 175lbs. Got much better mileage from KBO Hurricane at 1/3 the price.

    Similar results for me. I’m the same weight and getting 12-15 miles range in automatic power mode. Nice looking bike, but disappointed with the mileage compared to advertised range.

    Does this have the clearance for some bigger gravel tires? I’m curious if the frame could handle a bit of off road since it’s probably bulked up a bit just for handling the added e-bike weight in general.

    What bike would you recommend as the best all round electric under $10,000??

  • @Benjamin_Jehne
    @Benjamin_Jehne2 жыл бұрын

    I get the concept, but I don`t get the price. For +3000$ there has to be a Fazua mid drive mounted. A 250Wh battery combined with a hubmotor at 3200$, that makes no sence at all. For this small battery you really need an efficent motor and hubmotors aren't that efficent, they're just cheap and thats the big point at this bike. The frame looks really good but when you see the Giant branded but still cheap motor, the small battery and these the cheap tyres - the tyres, who the hell uses Kenda tyres on a +3000$ bike!? There are x brands that stand for good tyres, but not Kenda. Schwalbe, Maxis, Vittoria, Continentals etc, etc. with a high punctrure protection should be the standard in this price class. Just anything, but not Kenda - the kings of cheapness. The concept is not consequent when you try to position a brand in a specific region of the market. Even if you're mother company is Giant. The E+ 3 makes way more sence. It's 2400$ for the nice frame and good parts. 3200$ just for the Shimano GRX groupset and a motor with less torque, thats questionable. And there is another point, E+ 3s Microshift Advent groupset isn't that much cheaper then the E+ 1s GRX groupset. It's more or less equal in pricing. So where comes the price from?

    Kinda weird ebike bc the performance of 25 nm just makes up for the higher weight of the bike. Also 3.2 k for a hub drive ebike is a hefty price. I mean its not exactly a Stromer. I wonder who buys such a bike? ☮️

    It's neat to see ebikes reaching new niches. Gravel bikes can be a lot of fun, but some trails get steep and it can become exhausting. I can see how a little motor could help, and I appreciate how they aimed to keep it relatively light and "bike like" vs. some of the more powerful but much heavier options. I'm a light person, so light bikes are my personal preference :)

    It's the weight for me, this one speaks to me because I have to carry it up and down steps so being light is really important. Also storing it in my house it helps that it's pretty :)

    looks like its price has come down to $2600, at this price I expect a handle bar mounted bike computer screen for controls, and headlight and frame mounted tail lights.. at $3200 it was severely overpriced and still is IMHO. It comes within shooting range of a real motorcycle.

    Why would someone mount derailleur with clutch on road bike ? Such a waste of money

  • @ElectricBikeReview

    @ElectricBikeReview

    2 жыл бұрын

    This is a gravel bike that’s designed to handle light trails, along with paved streets. The handlebars are more flared and the tires are knobby with higher air volume (a bit wider) to improve stability and traction. Whether the clutch is used or not, it’s a higher end derailleur that should weigh less and be more reliable over time.
