EARTH T REX 650B SP Review E-Bike Australia

Little review on the Earth T-Rex 650B SP TREKKING. March 2021. Personal purchase, using as a delay ride bike, around the 45 - 60kms day for work and task's. Quite a lot of E-BIke options out there, this one jumped out for being quite complete, good price, and a solid rack with up to 15kgs.

How heavy is this bike please?

[@ausetour500]

Around 27 kgs depending on set up, panniers etc

[@agella72]

I'm going to test ride one tomorrow, I'll be using for commuting and I have a couple of large hills to traverse. Are you still happy with it?

[@ausetour500]

apologies, I am quite behind. I was happy up until the frame cracked, a touch under 6000kms, how ever the current frame looks good, and is covered for 3 years with warranty

[@taekin9781]

Great review. Hope there's a follow up long term use review later on

[@ausetour500]

Cheers thank you, and I plan to do a follow up, just ticked over 1000km, maybe around the 5000km mark,, perhaps 6months point see how it’s going

@@ausetour500 yeah sounds good! I'm waiting for mine to arrive. Where'd you get your paneers from?

[@ausetour500]

@@taekin9781 one of the panniers came with the bike, and the second on e I picked up from the importer/outlet store in Malvern

[@mariolperalta]

what kind of range are you getting from this ebike? specs claim 70km-100km+... is that true in real life?

[@ausetour500]

Hello Mario, with what i have seen 100km+ is doable, that being said, I ride around a natural (to me) 27 kph, so the bike is not using much battery to assist my ride, hills, take of at traffic lights etc, and or at night i tend to use seperate ‘USB’ lights in place of the fitted front light, also for lowering the battery drain.

[@mariolperalta]

@@ausetour500 thanks for your reply, I'll go for a test ride... it looks like a nice bike and ticks all the boxes

[@bensmart92]

Any downsides from your experience with the bike so far?

[@ausetour500]

The bike has been good, I have done 2,600kms (1,400 miles ish) so far, the pannier rack had a crack early, swapped under warranty in 2 days even in Covid conditions, and that’s about it, keeping an eye on bolts and over all maintenance when doing many kms and on/off road riding.

Torque rating for motor?

[@ausetour500]

Great question, the motor has 85.Nm i the Torque rating, Works well when heading uphill ride park.
