Momentum Voya E+ 3 Review Summary

The Momentum Voya E+ 3 is a standout in the world of lightweight electric bikes, designed for those who appreciate a blend of traditional cycling and modern technology. Weighing in at just 41 pounds, this bike is perfect for riders who prioritize ease of handling and portability. The Voya E+ 3 is built for speed and efficiency with its aerodynamic drop bars and a Shimano setup featuring hydraulic disc brakes and derailleur gears. This contrasts with the Momentum Voya E+ 1, which offers a more versatile gravel bike setup with wider handlebars.

The bike’s utilitarian design includes numerous mounting points for racks, bottle cages, and fenders, enhancing its versatility for various riding needs. A notable feature is the front rack, which supports up to 33 pounds and is available in different configurations, although it moves with the steering. The Voya E+ 3’s fenders are adjustable to accommodate different tire types, from smooth Kenda tires to wider, knobby variants for gravel adventures. The rear rack can carry up to 55 pounds, and the frame itself supports a total weight of 344 pounds, including the bike’s weight, making it a practical choice for commuters and long-distance riders alike.

The Voya E+ 3 is powered by a 250-watt SyncDrive Move hub motor, offering 25 Nm of torque. This compact motor, combined with a semi-permanent battery, provides a decent range of 20 to 45 miles per charge, depending on riding conditions. However, the battery’s non-removable design means that charging requires proximity to an outlet, which might be inconvenient for some. The included 4-amp charger is lightweight and fast, fully charging the bike in approximately 3.5 hours.

Aesthetically, the bike is available in eye-catching yellow or metallic green, with frame sizes catering to different rider heights. It only comes in a high-step design, adding to its sporty and efficient look. The drivetrain features a MicroSHIFT Advent 9-speed setup with an 11-42T range, providing ample gearing for various terrains. The hydraulic disc brakes, with 160 mm rotors, offer reliable stopping power, complemented by comfortable three-finger levers that accommodate different hand sizes.

The Voya E+ 3’s handlebars and grips are designed for comfort and performance, with a slight rise and back sweep, and the saddle is crafted for a balanced mix of comfort and support. The bike rides on 700x38c Kenda tires with reflective sidewalls, offering good puncture resistance and high-speed capability. Its frame and fork are constructed from aluminum alloy, contributing to the bike’s lightweight yet robust build.

For those concerned with technology, the Voya E+ 3 features a RideControl Go LED display integrated into the top tube, which can be paired with a smartphone app for enhanced functionality. The app offers features such as Strava integration and real-time feedback, although it does not support motor tuning for hub motors. The bike’s simple control system allows for easy adjustment of assist levels, and it includes a unique automatic assist mode that adapts to the rider’s needs.

Overall, the Momentum Voya E+ 3 is an exciting option for cyclists seeking a lightweight, versatile, and stylish electric bike. Its combination of performance, practicality, and innovative features makes it a strong contender in the e-bike market, especially for those who value the joy of traditional cycling with a bit of electric boost when needed.
