I rode my 1st mid drive today...

[erider_61]

Lot of features for a $2,799 CDN ebike. Suspension seat post, 11 speed, Panasonic 36V battery, hydraulic disk brakes, 250 watt mid drive motor, colour display.

Had not heard of this Canadian company before but was impressed how much lighter the Blulans X5 mountain ebike was compared to my rear hub Voltbike Bravo. This may be my next purchase.

Hmmm. No battery capacity specified. Outlandish motor. What about the post-sales service?
The latest Giant Talon E+ 29 2 is CAD2899, and it has a 500 Wh quality battery and Yamaha/Giant mid-motor you can trust. The Giant LBS network ensures proper post-sales services.

11 speed

Not. It is the 9-speed Alivio, same as in the Talon.

This is a no-brainer decision.......I'd go with the Giant Talon.
As Stefan mentioned, LBS network from a huge brand name company that produces quality bikes for the money.

look know one loves the online bike game more than i do lol, but this one makes my Spidey sense tingle! it offers little in the way of performance,its an unknown online company, it has a funky looking proprietary motor? that could be difficult to find if the company vanishes,imo there are better online options than this, look around maybe test ride some bikes at a LBS just dont rush into buying that Blulan

Personally, I'd feel more comfortable plopping down an equal price to that one for just about any used ebike on Craigs or Ebay featuring a Yamaha or Bosch mid drive. And I would feel safe in saying that used premium bike at equal cost, is going to give you thousands of more miles of trouble free service compared to that "brand" bike.

Please re-evaluate and think this one over.
