    Espin Nero

    I've been riding my Nero for a little over a week. Since my two previous ebikes are mid-drives, it is a little difficult to get used to the thrust of a hub motor. I do appreciate the throttle though as it allows me to focus on balance and speed with my dog in tow. Could you advise how you...

    First Time Buyer

    I really liked the style, color, and what they offered for components. The Nero is basically a copy of a Rad Rover model. A bit cheaper yes, but I suppose you get what you pay for.

    Not really, I have reliable bike shops/mechanics in my area. I was planning to upgrade this bike when I got it, but when they offered the upgraded model, I thought I was set.

    This took me a while to understand, but after 18 months of research, not necessary on your part, I understood there are 3 classes of bikes. The big difference is mid drive, motor in the pedals/crankset, VERSUS hub drive motor featured in the front or back wheel. I love my mid drives because...

    I have two mid-drive e-bikes, bosch & yamaha, that I love. I just purchased my Espin Nero for a major bargain, BUT the shipment is supposedly delayed due to customs. It was due to ship out end of October. Now, they are saying mid November. I am not sure this is true. They are a smaller...
