About the Neomouv Open Ticket electric bike
In-Store Now, No Waiting: 1 x blue in Coulsdon. We are happy to transfer bikes between stores, so if you'd like to try this in Tunbridge Wells instead, just let us know.
This lightweight electric bike is just like the classic hybrid-style bike you have at home but with a brilliant kick of power once you start pedalling.
Comfort Factor?
We normally say that the more substantial and weighty e-bikes offer the most comfort, but this one stands up extremely well in the comfort stakes despite being so light. The riding position of the Open Ticket is in a well-balanced sweet spot: not too upright, and not too out-stretched. And even though it doesn’t have suspension, we’ve found it is comfortable anyway, thanks in large part to quality wheels, tyres and spokes.
Ride Quality?
On the flat, you’ll be able to ride this with no power comfortably although the Aikema motor does give a punchy bit of energy that is a lot of fun, so you’ll probably end up riding in power level 1 or 2. While it doesn’t match the smoothness of the Bosch motor, the Aikema motor gives a feeling of launching forward, so your riding gets a dynamic, energising flavour.
Uphill?
On the hills, we found that power level 3 and upwards compares very well to a mid-drive motor. You will need to click through your gears to find the sweet spot for hill climbing, but considering the saving you make by having a rear hub motor instead of mid-drive, this might be a price worth paying.
Frame Design
A lot of people will like the frame shape too. It’s not a stepthrough bike, but it is a "hop-off" bike. You can safely hop forward off the saddle when you need to make a stop which many riders prefer over staying in the saddle and balancing on tiptoes (or on one foot). At the same time, because it isn’t a full stepthrough, for those who don’t like the upright riding position, it won’t feel awkward to ride.
Summary: An excellent value electric bike that looks like a regular bike, and feels exceptionally zippy.
Key stats: 28" wheels / 8-speed gears / 42Nm torque / 18kg
