After a purchase from Wrench Science, I paid 1/2 price for the Dyodo and waited for delivery. The bike itself is, remarkably, almost exactly like the non-Ebike Prince. The lines are clean and dramatically aero.
Assembly was straightforward and I appreciate the number of the necessary torx wrench printed on the bike. The bike comes with SRAM (meh) 11spd, and it works. (Honestly, Campagnolo components are markedly better)
After charging the 250watt battery for 4 hours it was fully charged and I hit the road.
first and foremost, the easiest support (about 15% power assist) was blisteringly fast. I quickly hit the 20mph limit while riding. I hit two big hills right away, both 10%+. I tapped the button that changes to power assist to the highest setting, and climbed. Spinning in the highest cog, my heart rate stayed really low and I motored up the hill. Then I did it again...lowest setting. I got a good workout AND the lowest assist just took the edge off...making the hill climb a great ride.
I live in New Mexico and wind is a constant friend/foe. I took the bike out in a crazy wind storm (20+ constant) and turned on assist as I turned into the maelstrom. Incredibly, I could ride and maintain a solid 10mph even with the huge gusts. Too, the aero frame was a blessing; the bike cut through the wind and was stable.
Speaking of the bike, it’s so responsive that when I went downhill, I felt so confident that I hit 50mph and felt confident. This was 10moh over my previous high. The bike tracks so well.
Some have talked about how the way the assist cuts in and out; it’s not a big deal and near a stop, stop pedaling and the bikes slows down.
I ride a lot and absolutely love the feel and ride quality of the bike. The assist allows me to choose my workout and that, in and of itself is worth it. My fellow riders are definitely not into the ebike. Get a lot of folks poopooing the whole idea. At the same time, I can maintain pace and ride with the fastest among the group I ride with. Still, they hate that I can pull up front and not be spent at the end of the ride.For me, it’s really nice to ride and ride, and be able to do it again the next day without exhaustion.
Love the Dyodo. It’s awesome.
