I love that you made it a point to ride this without power. No one talked about that enough. Ebikes like the Super 73 look amazing but without a charge super impractical
I love my City Robin. I ride 5.8 miles one way to work daily on last year’s version here in Atlanta and it crushes the hills. Very comfortable ride…
yeah i need one to ride a 3 mile hill going back home !!
you can now put the bike to 9 levels. it is a game changer for this bike. this bike is fantastic.
I can't imagine how many bike reviews I have watched on CZcams....500 or more. You have done an extraordinary job in covering everything about the Euphree City Robin X. May be the best review I have ever watched. It is painful for me to watch EBR reviews. Your comments about the weight of the bike compared to fat tire bikes got my attention. Your honesty about the weight of the Euphree saved me from making the same mistake I made with my 65 pound Giant that I gave to my niece. I am a senior and handling a 60+ pound on/off a bike rack on the back of the car is extremely difficult. The Euphree is an impressive bike and anyone that watched your review will certainly be impressed to buy one. Unfortunately it's too heavy for me. I am adding you to my subscribed list. Thank you!
Thank you for the kind words and the sub, welcome!
Bike does look nice. My RAD wagon is not easy to peddle if the battery dies,so I appreciate you giving us an example of how easy it this bike was to do so.
It's one of the lightest bikes I've been on.
I had the Microshift on a Juiced Ripcurrent S step thru and I thought it was better than the Shimano.. Very tight and smooth. I was very impressed.
What a great video. Answered so many of my questions. Thank you from a new rider.
Excellent review! I have a Bixtrix Swift Lite 3 which I like even though it has less power. The Euphree City Robin X seems like an excellent bike for me. I am 77, only 5'6" so weight is certainly a concern of mine and this bike seems to tick most of the boxes.
Great review,thanks for all your hard work 👍
The mat black is sharp looking, I like they add a front suspension fork. A lot of the 2.1-2.4 tire ebikes don’t come with a front suspension fork and you don’t realize how much extra comfort they provide until you have a bike that don’t have the suspension fork. I also love the suntour seat post I have it on two of my bikes, I just wish all the manufacturers would agree on one seat post size so I can have just one seat and seat post and swap it out with the bike I chose to ride that day. Unfortunately right now I have three bikes and all three have different seat post size.😂
Just buy a couple extra shims so you don't have to change posts, that's what I did 🙂
That's not true. Most ebikes have front suspension regardless of tire size. Unless it's some econo ebike under $1000. Of course you might find an exception to suport your claim, but you make it sound like it's rare.
I have this bike in X White beautiful bike comfortable ride! I ride abt 15-16 miles a day but I changed the tires to puncture proof! Do yourself a favor and get those and a small pump that I got a bike bag and store it on back rack!
Another excellent review. Looks like a solid commuter bike but a little pricey at $2099. Especially with end of season deals coming. Radrover 6 plus currently on sale for $1299.
Wow that's pretty cheap! Rad must be overstocked..
Thank you, very nice review. We just placed an order for one!
Great bike! Good choice
Your assessment of this bike is very helpful.
i try my best to put my thoughts and ride experience into video form, glad you enjoyed!
I'm really glad to see this bike , this is more the type of bike that I would consider , good review , I don't know why I didn't get memo on this review earlier.
glad the video found its way too you!
I liked that you pedaled the bike without the battery 👍👍 that's a great selling point. Nice bike.
There's not many e-bikes I'm willing to peddle without motor power 😁
Great review! Thanks.
Another excellent review by the Citizen, and Mrs. C. The Robin X is at the top of my list. The price went slightly above $2k, but it seems well worth it. I always shop for value, not just price. The suspension seat post alone is $115 on Amazon today and works great. I have one on my non-ebike. And the seat looks functional, which will save $50 for a replacement. Almost no bikes have a brake light, maybe just a rear light. What would an add-on break light cost? And the front light is well above average. Plenty of unique features mentioned to justify a $2.1k price. Only other high-quality thing not mentioned (maybe I missed it) was the double-sided Chain Ring guard. Great job Mr. C. Thank you for the clear presentation and advice on when a fat tire bike makes sense.
Glad you enjoyed! great bike!
Folks, my wife is 5' 1"....we gave these bikes a test run and she had no issues keeping the seat post suspension on. It depends on body type. Still, we probs will pass on the Euphree because we may go with a 750 hub and more amps.
Great review 👍 thanks
Thanks for watching!
The rad expand 5 uses the micro shifter I ❤ it.
Nice and Clean lookin!!
Nice review! Nice bike!
Thanks!
Looks like an awesome bike all the geometrics my old broken body needs. But I live in the Appalachians. So I am either going uphill or downhill. Battery capacity, torque n motor just seem weak for my needs. 😒. Thank you for your awesome reviews.
Nice Thanks for sharing
Another good video! It is a very nice looking bike it has a lot of good attributes to it. This bikes only real downfall for what you're paying for is the battery size if they could put a 17.5 amp hour battery in this bike, it would justify the customer in purchasing this bike for this price.
Fabulous ebikes have the trail step bikes that are almost identical to this one. Both the trail step and trail step elite have 20ah batteries. The elite has a 750 watt motor that peaks at 1000 watts. About the same price.
These companies realize that a lot of seniors are buying e bikes and this is why you see so many step thru new models being introduced. Looks a lot like the new Bolton Blackbird step thru.
I think a big part of step thru ebike popularity relates to rear rack usage. Ebikes are handy for errands but if you put something tall like a basket of groceries on the rear rack then getting on and off becomes difficult if the bike is not a step thru.
@@jimmyjames8736 agreed, bag on the back makes it tough to mount
Yes. And a lot of people with hernias.
YOU ARE MY GO TO GUY FOR EBIKE REVIEWS. Thank you for your effort and honest look at all the variety of ebikes.
Excellent vid and exc info but cant get one in the UK!
I've followed your feed since you started. Great job always so enthusiastic and practical. I've got mobility issues and sadly have to part with my Rad Rover 5. It's got a comfortable Buckaroo seat, Bolton controller upgrade, hydrolyc brakes, Origen Super Cell tires with Tannis Armour. All thanks to you. I want to go back to a normal road bike. How well does the City Robin X compare to what I have? My rides are all flat asphalt with a few steep hills.
Hi Neil thanks for following my channel, sorry that you have to part with your custom rad Rover but it will be fun to try new bike. The step through of the city Robin will be much easier on your mobility. If you want a normal bike feeling it will certainly provide that as well. With the suspension seat post they use It's a very comfortable ride. It will definitely have nowhere near the power of your controller upgraded rad bike though.
Thanks for the prompt feedback. I'm up in BC Canada so I don't get any chance to test these bikes and rely on channels like yours and other riders comments. In your opinion would I be better off looking at the step through MagiCycle 700w 52v version. I'm retired and ride 40 k a day for exercise. My son is pushing me to opt out and go crank drive but I can't justify the price. I also like stage 3 e-bikes that can hit 28mph 45 kph. 20mph 32 kph is so slow. I have two good hills on my ride but the peddling will do me good.
@@neilpowell6191 The magicycle bike is certainly very powerful however the step through is not extremely low, It would be a little bit better than your rad but it's not really a true step-through bike
I'm very close to selling my RadRover and to making a decision. Having said before it's extremely difficult not being able to ride the bikes. What do you think of the crank drive Ride up 1 Prodigy step through? Compared to the City Robin it has similar top speed but no throttle.
That's so true I've not been riding my fat tyre bike I've been riding my electric mid-drive mountain bike and my Zooz urban ultralight 750 a lot more
Everyone should have at least three different styles in the garage right 😁
anothjer great video. CAN YOU DO a comparison video on most powerful/longest range AWD eMTBs. like e-cells 1500awd, timertrail, rambo megatron. or juggernaut XD(its middrive). i have only owned hubs. and the one i have now is a monster compared other 1000wrear hub motor by far. i want to make it AWD like the grizzly but on my kepler. imagine 2- 52v1000w1800peak motors x 2 35amp controllers, 2 52v20ah batteries(i already have and installed underdowntube 40ahs total.) now have to figure other parts out.
Nice ride to bad wasn't a 750 watt but still overall nice
The trail step elite is identical with a 750watt motor and 20ah battery.
Good review you didn't mention whether it was a torque sensor for the pedal assist and the size of the battery..
Thank you for the great video
Cadence sensor and 14ah
@@CitizenCycle925 would you recommend a hub or mid motor conversion kit for an existing bike?
@@Interglacial_optimist If you're serious biker you might like the mid-drive better but for 95% of the people I would recommend hub motor kit. Hub will also be much easier to install.
@@CitizenCycle925 if the price of a hub motor kit is $700 and I can buy a complete new ebike for $700 which would you recommend?
@@Interglacial_optimist I guess it would depend on the specs of each. My guess is that the kit would have better battery size and power than a $700 e-bike.
Great Video, Nice Bike. Is there only one lever for shifting I'm at a loss as how you shift up and down.
There's two levers you push with your thumb, One goes up one goes down, might be hard to see in the video but there is two there
Excellent review of the new Euphree City Robin X ebike. Does it include a USB-port to coincide with the phone-mount feature?
Unfortunately I do not see a USB port on the bike anywhere
I am 6 '4" with 32 inseam. Will this bike work with comfortable leg extension. Great review.
I didn't hear if there was a weight limit and all they offering any discounts?
You should ask Fabulous to send you a Trail Step Elite for review. It's almost identical to this one but with a 750 watt(1000w peak) motor and a 20ah battery. Same price too.
I just looked and they appear to be sold out!
@@moiramw . No. I just bought one. I spoke to Lampro, the owner on the phone and he told me he had a shipment of new colour models in and I bought one. They're still not list on the site for some reason. Mine is a 2 tone blue and black. It's looks really good. He said I was the first to get one of the new colour models.
@@moiramw . BTW. I can email you the pictures he sent me of the 3 new colour models.
@@E-BikingAdventures How's the Fabulous holding up for you?
@barryinny . So far so good. I only have 300 km on it.
What is two prices for me buy used Vespa scooter
Yup.... your right, you're not a cyclist if you think 54.5 lbs.( w/o battery) is a lite bike! When I go bikepacking my acoustic fat bike weighs between 60-63 lbs. (depending on gear selection) completely outfitted with camping gear. I'm not anti-E-bike they have there place but I am anti-cheap bike. Alot of the weight from E-Bikes isn't just because of the motor and battery- they use cheaper components, ( brakes, rotors, crank arms etc.) which adds to the bikes overall weight.
Would really want a rear view mirror
Ya that's definately a deal breaker.
I see keys hanging off the handlebar. What are they for? I’m looking to get my high functioning autistic daughter an electric bike to get around town.
What seems to be the minimum speed using PAS 1? I thought I read somewhere it was around 14mph. Some trails have a minimum of 10mph. I guess you could just not use pedal assist, but kind of takes away need.
There's no minimum speed for any PAS level.
Could you just use one battery at a time and last longer
you know that is a good looking bike but it looks like an old man's bike like an old Schwinn bike I used to have and you are right that bike probably would not work well off-road that's why I've got the Fat Tire Bike so I can go off-road and do both and I don't understand why they everybody still using a 500 watt motor when most of your bikes have 750 watt that give you more power
What you got
Over all it looks like a nice bike. What I don’t like is the ultra cheap derailure, even if it’s working properly. Rad put on their Rad City 5, a normal 8 speed Acera bit they have gone with a 11-42 cassette, what makes the bike way more versataile. I don’t understand these completely outdated cassettes like you see it on this bike. If cheap isn’t cheap enough.
The Rad is 1899€ inkl tax here in Europe and it come with a torque sensor. From my perspective, thats the better deal even with just a magnet sensor.
I was wondering if you know if it's cadence or torque?
Cadence
@CitizenCycle thank you. Dang this bike had everything I wanted..but torque
Je voudrais savoir le prix de bicycle
Je pourra avor le prix de ce bicycle apre i
Ais
Cruise?
I do like the hidden wires over their last version. Looks so much cleaner. Hey Citizen, check your email! Think you’ll like a different bike as well!
I like the look of this bike..I'm surprised i said that because i found in the past that 98-99%
of e-bikes look horrible.frames are gawdy..4" fat tires over-rated..The computer display on this bike fits the size and style of the handlebars..my DIY e-bike build has a computer the size of my phone..looks out of place..too big. But for 2000$ i got new everything..and a 2000w battery and motor. Factory e-bikes are rip-offs..250-350 watt motors $3000. kenda tires not maxxis..20-28 miles per hour to my 52 miles/hour..Without my new upgrades a china based company sold me an e-bike kit w/2000w battery and motor for $735.. Cad funds..and i love the look of my build..its not outlandish and its unique..one of a kind..i don't see why this bike being rated is $2000.00 USD It's nice yes but too costly..build your own..get what you should really get for $2000.00 P.s insurance companies now insure e-bikes for theft or damage..I pay $120.00/year..the same amount you would pay for a mid size motorcycle..so get protected and your never too old to have fun..Just Saying. :) :) :)
Rather have the Snapcycle. Took a bazillion pictures of it today after I pulled a Joe Biden with it ;-)
Glad you are enjoying! That's why I talk about the size of these bikes a lot. they're way bigger in person and they can bite you if you're not careful. 😁
Nice one!!
not bad for 3grand
