Epique City E-bike - any experience?

[Kimsterix]

Dear Forum.
Im a newbie here, from Norway. I look forward to learning more about e-biking in general. (I have zero experience in this area). I am particularly interested in the brand Epique City E-bike - which is also sold as "Xplorer Mini" and various other names around the world - because I just ordered one from a reseller. Does anyone have any experience with these? Any reviews or link to more information?

I have already found a few videos but no reviews, really. So that would be of most interest. Here is a video:

Cheers,

Kimsterix

Have never seen that one before but like the wider tires, should help with the ride on a smaller bike like that

Post back how it does for you

Thanks, yes I will.

I've had the bike for a week or so now. I was a little worried about the front wheel motor, but to my surprise, the 2x2 solution works quite well. Considering that I only had it for a few days, the quality seems pretty good. I am thoroughly skeptical about any product made in China (having worked there for a while) but somehow, they got this one right. I have heard that it was designed in Germany though this could be wrong. The one stand-in (as opposed to stand-out) feature is the hidden battery - which is cleverly tucked away in the seat column. This not only disguises the fact that the bike is actually battery-powered but it is also a very design-centric concept so that one can detach the seat and charge it (the battery) separately. I got two batteries with my purchase and it is very convenient to switch between these. Anyroad, I will post a follow up after some months, hopefully in an equally positive perspective.

Hi there, sorry if I'm reviving a relatively old thread.

How has the epique been, so far? Ride, maintenance, charging, etc. Am planning to get one too.

Thanks for your feedback!
