    Moscow Plus Weight limit thicker tyres/wheel

    I am by no means an expert in bikes but I can tell you whilst the Moscow Plus a great ride, it is big heavy and quite cumbersome (mine is the 29", I heard they have less issues with spokes breaking and as the tyres are thicker than the 27.5 they should hold a bit more weight) . Luckily we have a...

    Ncm Moscow plus throttle

    I was aware it was coming without a throttle before purchase but reading how easy it seems to upgrade to a throttle from this forum convinced me pretty quickly. I'm hoping to use the bike to get out there more often than I am on my old mountain bike to trim down a touch.

    Ncm Moscow plus throttle

    A little bit, I found a few ebike review sites including this one and they spoke very favourably of the Moscow plus. I absolutely love the look of the bike too, it was in the right price bracket so I thought go for it. From what im reading most people seem quite happy their purchases.

    Ncm Moscow plus throttle

    Thanks, how much difference have you found the 18a controller makes? Is it significant enough for the outlay in your opinion?
