I like to pedal and feel the zoom of the motor helping, it feels natural and comfortable but there are advantages to power on demand, especially if your legs get tired or the street is wet or you need help getting going. You and your wife will likely have a wonderful experience with the bikes. Hi Hank, my understanding is that the hardware on Bosch motors is pretty similar but the software can be tuned for efficiency (Bosch Active), regular city riding (Bosch Performance) or high-torque mountain (Bosch CX) and even though the European models say 250 watts, that is more of a legal thing and the torque is still rated the same. I had originally “pre-ordered” the Copenhagen Wheel planning to use it on my Townie — but after waiting 2 1/2 years for it to be shipped, I gave up and ordered the Townie Go. I purchased and tested one of these racks a while back and it did work okay, but not as well as something like this, which even has a ramp so you don’t have to lift the bike! For such a great deal and condition of the bike I couldn’t pass it up even with the existing condition. and Loft Go! If you ride alot, go ahead and get an extra battery and then enjoy it till it falls apart. With the price being pretty close between the Magnum and Electra models, my next consideration would be dealer availability and support. I hope these suggestions help you. Here’s my dilemma, after power up on the battery I hear 2 beeps confirming the battery is good/charged and right after that I hear 6 beeps coming from the hub. Here’s a video I shot with my Uncle discussing his Bosch powered ebike :). Your reviews are the best I’ve ever seen regardless of the product. Court, I have just purchased a 2018 Townie Commute Go and it has been updated from the 2016/2017 that you have reviewed here. With a top speed of ~20 mph and an integrated rear rack the Townie Go! It bums me out when good hardware goes to waste because of software issues, I’m sorry that this situation has stopped your ebike fun in the short term. Our biggest problem though was the bright “funky” colors Electra had. I bought a Townie 21 speed last June and found it great. First, thank you so much for all of the reviews! Sounds good Mark, hope everything works out! The bike needs to be in eco mode ore higher but pressed the button then pressed the “+” on the control pad per the display screen et viola! There are four levels of pedal assist to work with here and the lowest, Eco mode, will move the bike at a slower speed for people who want to take it easy. We preferred the black (Ebony) color but those white tires… Ugh… they were just not to our liking. The really cool thing is that I believe it only weighs like 1/2 lb more so it’s a sweet upgrade! I wouldn’t hesitate too much though there are lots of other cruiser style ebikes out there… got another set of reviews on the way right now in fact. A premium cruiser style ebike that comes feature complete with paint-matched aluminum alloy fenders to keep you dry, sturdy rear rack for transporting gear or a child seat, top-of-the-line integrated Supernova lights (front and rear), key-alike ABUS frame lock for convenient secure stops, and puncture-resistant reflective tires to reduce flats and keep you visible to cars. Often imitated, never duplicated, the Townie is the bike that changed how it feels to ride a bike. Hi Court, Let me begin by saying you’re the best. Now, it is more expensive than the 2014 and 2015 models at $2,727 and it does weigh more at ~58 lbs but you get an eight speed internally geared drivetrain and a lot more power that produces less noise when running! He misses our long walks so I figured I could tow him around instead. I’ve learned so much from you. I have purchased several bikes from them in the past and went to them when I started to look at e-bikes. I suggest searching YouTube for advice, because I think it can be pretty easy… like, there’s a yellow line on a little indicator that you can line up by turning a screw. :). The 2016 Electra Townie Go! This is my favorite cruiser style electric bike to date. I haven’t seen those in person yet but appreciate your feedback here Dewey. In the review this bike is referred to as a great neighborhood bike, but perhaps not the best for longer commutes. 7D is being sold in two frame styles and sizes, as well as seven colorways! Just like the 2015 model this latest Townie Go! Hi Dan, I was told that newer Trek ebikes do have walk mode engaged and had an experience once while visiting a dealer who was Bosch Certified where they actually manually turned it on (and made it so I could toggle the lights on/off). https://www.bosch-ebike.com/us/service/dealer-search/ or https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/store-finder/” I hope this helps you! Go the long way home. Wonderful writeup Jeff, thanks for taking the time to prepare this and reflect on the experience. I’ve also used your awesome “compare” page, but I get so confused when trying to compare so many things. New to the site. 7D features the Hydrive pedal-assist system with a 250W rear hub motor. It’s the same Bosch PowerPack 400 I’ve seen for the past year and a half on other models here in the US and it works just as well. 7D is designed to be a commuter bike the casual rider can use right away. I have over a thousand miles in 5 months on the bike and enjoy the longer distances without painful knees. and I’m not sure why Bosch hasn’t allowed it (possibly to strictly adhere to the Class 1 category of ebikes in the USA? Thanks for the positive feedback, Bryan. The only thing is, I will have to get an internally gear hub as this does not have a derailleur. Your reviews already “sold” us on the Bosch mid-drive motor so with great pricing the Townie-Go seemed like a winner. I forgot to add that, not only do I absolutely love riding my Townie Go and love how it looks, but I actually chose to buy this specific bike based on your review. I hope this helps! Bottom line, it’s the perfect e-bike for anyone looking to enhance their lifestyle. 8D and 8i e-bikes use the Bosch mid-frame motor system for premium power and reliability, as well as a lower center of gravity for better control and stability. However, on my ride today, the bike was occasionally ghost shifting. Hi Gene! I hope the wheels don’t go flat as easy as some people have reported because I take country roads.I couldn’t find a mirror for the electra on the main site either. models, the frame is less flexy, the display panel is also removable, Schwalbe Fat Frank Balloon tires look great and come in different colors to compliment the frames, they have integrated reflective sidewalls for safety, Kevlar lining for greater protection against flats and soften the ride by being squishy (absorbing cracks and bumps like suspension), Integrated front and rear LED lights by Spanninga run off the main battery and are controlled through the Bosch Intuvia display panel! comments like yours make it all worth while. As for pumps, I always carry one like this which has a pressure gauge built in and can work with Presta or Schrader type valves. I’ve started to use it for a commuter bike and love the upright position that you are in while riding it. I rode 650 miles between June and November (Chicago suburbs) and if felt so much better than a Giant Cypress (700c) bought in 2012. bikes may I ask you if the Loft Go! I read that you recommend the tow hitch bike carriers, but we really haven’t got the budget for them sadly. I don’t think this bodes well for anything this company puts forth and I will never do business with them again. I enjoyed your comment, sounds like you’ve had a blast with the Townie Go! Thank you so much! Hi Jack, have you tried the Townie Commute Go? Also, since they use the same pack for all of their designs 2013-2016 and possibly beyond… you have a large pool to draw from vs. something more custom. The fact that you even commented on this model vs. Magnum makes me think that this could be the slightly better fit for you. Range is more than doubled, the frame is stiffer and better balanced, you get more gears to pedal with and while there still isn’t any sort of suspension on the bike it rides very comfortably with balloon tires, padded grips, oversized saddle, swept back bars and the signature “Flat Foot” seating position that brings pedals forward vs. straight down. The bike is super comfortable and allows me to ride most anywhere — plus long distances. Again, I thank you for an awesome video. Many of the city styled bikes to me still have a bent over riding position that beats my shoulder up but not this one. I just purchased 3 days ago from my favorite local bike dealer the azure colored Townie Go! Hmm, I’m not sure about that, Joan? will become your best friend, I am not exaggerating. Kind regards from The Netherlands! The US limit is 750 watts or less and 20 mph or less with a throttle and both of those requirements are satisfied by the Bosch mid-drive (and other consumer ebikes). I got the last black “D-Frame” available from California on 3-22-17. (On a side note, I did learn from the bike dealer that the bike I rode in Kauai was a true electric bike with a throttle and I didn’t have to pedal, whereas the bikes at the Expo were all electric-assist where you do have to pedal.)
