So..I ordered a new Amego Infinite the day before Canada Day from the Canadian company, Amego Electric Vehicles. I did an extensive amount of research and probably watched almost every video here at EBR. I did not want a mountain bike or a road bike and was looking for something with an upright riding posture. I wanted something with more than a 500 watt battery. I also wanted something that would be rugged enough to support my 230 pound, 6’ 2” frame. I ride my regular bike pretty regularly 15 to 30 miles, 3 to 4 times a week. The area I live in is Eastern Long Island and there are some hills (enough to be a pain now and then).
The bike arrived 9 days later which, considering Canada had two days off and the US had Independance day a couple of days later, was pretty good. The bike was well packed and protected and all I had to do was mount the handle bar and adjust, mount the seat and post, attach the pedals and fill the tires with air. They supplied any tools I needed.
The Infinite has a 500 watt nominal rear hub motor, 36, 13 gauge spokes in the wheels, a Shimano Acera derailleur (which is a couple of steps above the base Tourney). The handlebar is a Promax adjustable which can easily be tightened down more permanently. The Ergonomic Velo handgrips are locking and very comfortable. The seat is a Velo gel saddle which some will like but I replaced with a standard Brooks B17. The front fork has basic shocks that work pretty well. The hydraulic disc brakes are 180mm, front and rear, and work really well. The battery is 624 Watts.
I mounted a Topeak Velcro Trunk bag, similar to the Topeak MTX.
The bike is fantastic. The 2 inch wide Schwalbe Big Ben, 27.5 inch tires are comfortable and handle road imperfections well. I had to adjust the gears a little, standard thing to do and pretty easy. I also had to bend the protective cage around the rear hub a little to free up the derailleur. This was also pretty easy. Using the manual I set the display for MPH as the default was KMs. I’ve ridden the bike 350 miles in 9 days. It handles the hills fine, the throttle control is handy during initial takeoffs, the motor is peppy and the 6 different assist levels are very helpful. So far I have been using assist level 3 and riding about 17 to 18 miles an hour. The battery display has 6 bars. I have been getting 18 miles or so on the first bar....28 on the 2nd....38 on the third...48 on the fourth...pretty consistently. We shall see how that pans out over time.
All in all....I am extremely pleased with the buying experience and the bike itself!
