Summary for AddMotoR MOTAN M-66 R7 E-Bike
AddMotoR has been making waves in the bike scene since 2011, evolving from their roots in motorcycle components and accessories back in 2006. Originally, their e-bikes were available only online, meaning buyers had to do some assembly at home. But now, they’ve got a hybrid model with local dealers, especially around the LA area. This means you can test ride before you buy and get local support. Plus, every bike comes with a one-year comprehensive warranty.
Now, let’s talk about the star of the show, the M-66 R7. This vintage-styled bike sports a unique, eye-catching look. At first glance, it might seem compact, but it’s actually quite lengthy at 71 inches. It’s a heavy-duty bike, thanks to its solid cast alloy wheels and a sizable banana seat, tipping the scales a bit due to these robust features.
Priced at $1799, the M-66 R7 offers some impressive features. It has an integrated headlight, which is bright and efficient, and a tail light powered by three AA batteries. You’ll need to remember to turn the tail light off to save battery life. There’s also an optional rear rack, perfect for carrying extra cargo. This bike can handle up to 330 pounds, making it great for solo rides or even doubling up.
One standout feature is the addition of foot pegs for passengers, a new addition since the last model review. The long, comfy banana seat allows for a relaxed ride, whether you’re alone or with a friend. Taller riders, however, might find the pedaling a bit awkward due to the seat’s position.
The bike is powered by a 48-volt, 11.6 amp-hour battery, giving you about 556 watt-hours of capacity. This means you can expect a range of 25-30 miles with heavy throttle use and up to 50-60 miles with light pedal assist. The powerful 750-watt rear-wheel motor, which I estimate delivers around 80 Newton-meters of torque, makes for a thrilling ride.
The M-66 R7 is versatile with its adjustable ProMax stem, allowing riders to tweak handlebar height and position for optimal comfort. The suspension fork with 80mm of travel and fat Kenda Crusade Sport tires, which can be inflated between 5 and 30 psi, ensure a smooth ride across various terrains, from pavement to sand and snow.
Safety is a top priority with this bike. It features mechanical disc brakes with motor inhibitors, ensuring the motor cuts off instantly when you brake. The bike’s reflectors and the white frame color enhance visibility, and you can also choose a black color option.
The Shimano Altus derailleur and seven-speed cassette provide a smooth, reliable gear-shifting experience, though the range is a bit limited for extreme hills. The bike’s chain guard helps prevent the chain from derailing, which is crucial given the bike’s long chain.
The M-66 R7 also boasts a user-friendly control system with a twist throttle, a monochrome LCD display showing speed, pedal assist levels, and battery life. There’s even a USB charging port for your phone.
In summary, the AddMotoR MOTAN M-66 R7 is a fantastic choice for those seeking a blend of vintage style, robust build quality, and modern e-bike features. It’s perfect for cruising around town with a buddy or hitting the open road solo. Check it out if you’re in the market for a fun, reliable, and powerful ride!
