I just saw that this ebike had come out and was waiting for reviews. It's great that you're already doing one (I'm guessing you might be the first). I bought the City Robin + last fall and love it. There are some nice upgrades on this one especially if you are interested in more versatility for off roading. I use mine more for cruising and commuting. I prefer the swept back handlebars on mine, and like the cafe lock that this one doesn't have. But the bigger battery, motor and larger display are nice upgrades on the Falcon. I also like the gearing on the Falcon more. That cadence/torque sensor is intriguing so I'm interested to hear more what people think of that as time goes on. Euphree is a smaller company with only a few models, but this one really ups their game. I think they are often over-looked and have a lot of options for the price. Thanks for the review and I hope more people check ourlt Euphree
They really have the City Robin dialed in... i think this new model is a step in the right direction to capture more of the ebike market with quality bikes.
Just looking into ebikes. I have a non ebike fat tire and a comfort bike now. As you mentioned this bike could hit a sweet spot for some. Noticed in your video compared to other ebike reviews the motor noise was quite noticeable. You did comment you did not find it to annoying. Would you say the Falcon is noisier than average? I know some brands are boasting of quite drive systems so I am assuming this is a potential problem for some models and just curious of your thoughts on noise with this bike compared to others you have tested. Thanks for the review of this unique bike.
@@jeffmorris2676 Good question. It is very noisy for a 750 watt hub. I'm waiting for it to be in stock at a local shop. I'll hear for myself and compare to other ebikes.
@@georgebc3 yes. I did and the Stellar Falcon is loud. The rep said the motor gets quieter as it “breaks in”. That’s the answer and you can stop reading here. I tried 3 bikes and gave them a test run up a hill with throttle only so I could feel the power and hear the motor. The City Robin x+ was much quieter for this test and had close to the same power as the Stellar Falcon. It ran 1 second slower. I found the CRX+ to have a more refined system too. The SF was loud and it seemed to lag with responsiveness to pedaling. This may have been the complex controller and settings. although, I think the newer CRX+ has this system now. The 3 rd bike was the Aventon Aventure. It was as quiet as the CRX+ and has a 750watt hub. I liked the power and feel but don’t care for the fat tire bike and the fact I missed the crazy deals Aventon had on this bike.
Just when I’m trying to decide between the City Robin+ and the Aventon adventure (narrow vs fat tire), you show up here with my Goldilocks moment. I think this might be the one for me. Next stop, a local-ish bike shop that carries it. Thanks for another in-depth but easy to follow review. I’ve learned so much from your channel.

I don't think i have ever seen a bike with the dual sensors ( cadence or torque ) options ....but it is a very good idea for some riders ! Good review, to showcase something very different than just the same old ebike !!!!
Many Juiced bikes have come with a torque sensor that you can disable from the display so the bike runs like it has a cadence sensor. If you think about it, any ebike with a torque sensor could simply use it as an on/off switch like a cadence sensor. It all depends on the software in the display and I would like to see more brands offer the ability to switch modes as I prefer torque sensor control, unless I get too tired, injure my knee or am hauling or towing heavy cargo. So, one question about cadence sensor mode on the Stellar Falcon: does each PAS level correspond to an amount of power or a speed target?
Definitely one of the more compelling ebike offerings. Some of the best paint color selections i've ever seen and components seem to be a step above from what we commonly see. Will likely be one of the best commuters for this year. Definitely has that wow factor without a break the bank pricetag.
Wow I was impressed with all the features. Was not surprised at the price. The 2 things that concern me, the percentage drop on the battery usage and the noise of the motor. The cadence or Torque is super cool. The Torque level adjustment is really nice. Yes it is not cheap, but it seem to be a very nice bike.
I've tried a lot of different motors and some are noisier than others, it will bother some folks and others wont notice. i just try to bring up things i notice while riding. I do think having the battery indicator decrease in individual percentages would be better because thats what people will be expecting, but once you know how it operates its no different than just having a 4 or 5 bar indicator.
@@CitizenCycle925 Just noticed the Tires. Schwalbe 27.5 X 2.8" Johnny Watts. I have Schwalbe Big Ben 26 x 2.15 and have not had a flat since I purchased them over 3 years ago. Also have ridden Schwalbe Marathon on 10 bike tours in Europe no flats. Schwalbe makes high quality bike tires.
Good to see, that they went for quality tires instead of cheap China stuff. These Jhonny Watts come frome the most known company for puncture protection and the biggest brand in Europe. Also instead of one of these cheap and crappy rear suspensions, they went for the Suntour NCX suspension seatpost, which is the easiest way to get a feeling very close to a fully. A really nice bike. 👌
The Juiced Rip Current S has both: cadence and torque sensor. However, these bikes (Stellar Falcon) offer a lot more for the money and due to the weight and tire size are much more practical for everyday use. Great review.
Hmmmmm....I was waiting/hoping for the Robin X+ to upgraded to a 750 watt motor (could have been the Robin X+750) I thought it would happen, I was wrong. While this bike is nice, Euphree just entered another market with this style bike and it's a crowded market with lots of choices for cheaper. Example being the Aventon Adventure 2 for $1799 with a free extra battery. I'm surprised to see the small battery paired with this Stellar Falcon. I guess I'll give both bikes a try when I visit my local bike shop. Curious to hear that motor in person.
Wow really impressed for what you get for the money. The people saying it’s too expensive have never owned a quality bike. My stable currently includes a $7k Niner RIP e9 full squish e-mtb, and a $4k Specialized Turbo Vado commuter bike. Sure the Specialized is a mid drive, but I would take the Euphree over it, even at the same $4k price point. Might have to “upgrade” my Specialized with the Stellar 😎
Great review! Perfect level of detail. I have this motor, Bafang H640, used on a DIY 27.5" ebike. It has a programmable controller using a Bafang programming cable and software from Bafang. It is loud and can hit 31.5 mph unrestricted, a nice beastie. I restricted the Throttle to Class 2 and the Pedal Assist to Class 3.
Great review. This one might be the one for my wife. With all the features and dual pedal modes. The available colors are awesome. Now if they put the swipe back handle bar on it I am sure she would be sold might be anyway. Thanks again Citizen
I ride the Aventon Aventure 2 with a tourqe sensor and love it. Be as it may i always thought whichever company develops a system which allows you to choose between torque and cadence at the press of a button would be at the forefront of Ebike design and evolution. Looks like Euphree has arrived!
Great review, thanks! Just tried the City Robin at a dealer in Raleigh, and it had a lot of torque for only 500w. Very well made, nimble and light, "refined" is the best way to describe it Can't wait to try this one with 750w. Will likely replace my 1000w 4" fat tire bike that's just heavy and brutish.
I just bought this bike and I am in general very pleased with it but there are issues and one of them is the battery range. Because our roads (at least in the bike lanes) are so filled with stones and trash etc. that I need to often ride in the regular lane and to keep up with the traffic with speeds of approx 25+mph it takes battery power and I need to use the speed lever almost all the time - I am finding that this eats up the battery! I would love to have an inline "second battery" option - I really think it is a must but it is not available now. So many other ebikes have this - so, when for Euphree? If you have distance or needed speed issues this ebike might not be the best option at this time.
Good video! Not having rear suspension, I was going to click away as soon as you said the price but stuck around and was actually impressed with the controller's software and cadence/torque feature. And when I thought about it, the fact they they seem to have a good US presence is a plus. I've overpaid for a lot of random things (including my Surly Big Easy), because of the ability to speak with a rep in English or (at least) Spanish just in case I have a problem. Looks like a potentially good bike, but probably still about $400 or $500 overpriced.
Appreciate your feedback. We actually had many internal discussions about price vs. BOM spec in our design and prototyping phase. We could definitely shave $400-500 off the price. We would simply change the following items... - Schwable Johnny Watts >>> Kenda Havok (-$50) - SR Suntour Air Fork >>> SR Suntour Mechanical fork (-$200) - Suspension Seat Post NCX >>> Rigid stiff seat Post (-$125) - Hidden integrated wires >>> Exposed birds next out front (-$30 cheaper stem and assembly labor) - Buffed out seamless welds >>> Rough weld bead Overall were trying to position ourselves as a mid tier brand that utilizes name brand, high quality components. There are just tons of off brand, no customer service, no spare parts, no dealer ebike companies out there. We could be one of those brands too. If we were like that we'd be cheaper too, but if you call us tomorrow someone from Houston, Texas will pick up the phone and answer all your questions.
Very nicely finished bike and a great review. I like the tire choice, gives people an option. Not sure about the pricing given the current market. It would be great if they could sell it at $1799 and make a decent profit but it’s definitely a step above the typical cheap Chinese bike and may be worth it.
yes, very nicely finished bike, having ridden several bikes from Euphree I will say their bikes are worthy of a slight premium price, they are a step above.
@12:13 Love your helpful comparison. I wish there were more 'Plus' tire ebikes than fat tire bikes so many brands make. I wonder if you can convert a fat tire ebike to a 2.8-inch plus tire by changing wheels? (admittedly, the cost of that adds up)
Great review, I was waiting on this. I was hoping for the 750 motor upgrade on the city robin x+. This is a pretty bike but doesn’t “wow” me like the robin bike does. Gonna hold on a little longer in hopes. 😅
In spite of the things ebike companies do to change/improve their technical performance, I hope you are telling them that the appearance of too many ebikes on the market today is monotonous and boring, Chris. From a distance, all I see on the bikes reviewed here is black ..... no bling, no attraction. If I get a 2nd ebike to supplement my Aventon Aventure 2, it will need bling. Electric Bike Company is the only manufacturer I've seen that has appearance options with the bling I prefer, and that can be unlocked for top performance. However, kudos for the cadence/torque sensor selection option on the Euphree, and for smoothing the welds on the frame. I've spoken with the owner of Biktrix, who says they are looking into doing that dual sensor option for their ebikes. Your time using the cadence sensor was brief in the review ..... for comparison was it capable of reaching the same top speed as you got with torque sensor in turbo mode? (I did notice however that your top speed on the Euphree was a couple of mph slower than my Aventure 2 with torque sensor in turbo mode.)
@@wkw4095 I haven't had it long, since last May. I only ride it on warm days. Yes, 750 W hub. Hard to say if it is quieter, comparing a video to the real bike in your hands, but I've tested lots of ebikes .... none of them are quiet. I did one test of the range last summer, from a full charge. I was trying to ride it as fast as it would go, while staying in turbo mode most of the way, used throttle for cresting hills. I have lots of hills around me. I got 44 miles on that charge. In the fall, before it got cold, I started another range test, going to the opposite end of speed and terrain, only riding it at normal 10-15 mph speeds and only on flatter ground, and no use of throttle. So far, before cold weather stopped my test, I've gone 15 miles and only used 8% of battery, but I'll have to start over. The bike's been sitting idle since late November, and now sits at 88% on the gauge. Lost 4% while sitting, but I have turned it on and off a few times. I expect I'll get more than 100 miles on a charge doing that kind of riding, with the less than year-old battery. Legal top speed is 28. All I can say here is that the Aventure2 is faster than that, but it doesn't approach the 39mph I'm seeing some reviewers hit with ebikes. I bought it through an authorized Aventon dealer. Paid $2150 including tax, and dealer had assembled everything for a fee included in that price. You can't beat this bike for that price. Trek/Electra bikes were $3750-$4000, and I tested them but they would not exceed 28 mph. The $3750 model was actually only 20 mph tops.
How about giving us your top 3 E-Bikes all things considered for someone 6 foot three or taller? Maybe just a separate video reviewing all three of them again lined up and so forth?
@dr.arnoldbenitez5642 both are great bikes. I guess it depends what you're most interested in. The Lectric is lighter weight, more powerful on hills, and is way cheaper. The Stellar falcon is faster top end speed, has a better fit and finish, it comes with more accessories like suspension seatpost, tail light brake light, fenders rack, etc
I noticed in your video when you adjust the stem all the way up/back, you were sitting almost straight up. Is this good enough or would the swept-back handlebar (like the City Robin) still provide a more comfortable riding experience?
Dude, I've been searching high and low for a good Ebike, one that has step thru, has 750wtt tork and speed, has 27.5 tires and gives you a very upright riding position. Very impressed with Euphree quality - and loved their Robin X cruiser, but wanted at least a 750 watt motor. Due to back issues and recovering carpal tunnel, I HAVE TO RIDE as upright as possible. I am 6' and need good leg extension too. Can the assembly be done by an amateur? I have brain overload due to many many choices. Any feedback wud be so appreciate!!!!
As I love to ride long distances and ever since 2016, my next BUG for bike riding which is BIKE TOURING, these are the characteristics I search for if and when I am looking to buy an electric bike: Able to go on all terrains (but not too technical trails), quality of Components (e-bikes should really be no lower than 8-speeds for range of gears), dual battery capable (for those who desire to ride even longer distances such as with bike touring), how the rear rack is developed (if it can hold pannier bags yet have top space to place something on top of the rear rack without interfering with panniers along with its total load capacity), power of motor as well if it is hub or mid drive (mid drives are way better for those who enjoy riding longer distances), and a decent payload capacity (400+lbs) and of course the kickstand; how it is going to stabilize the bike when rider is not on it, but user has cargo on the bike when it is in its' standstill position. Tern has a great one; OROX. I know there will be other companies who will bounce off of their development at a more affordable price; I am just waiting for someone within the Bike Industry to do so ( you guys knock off of each other often) So, in summary, I am searching for an e-bike that has the ability to do these things: Ride on all types of terrain, have a payload capacity of at least 400 lbs, a cargo type of rear rack and have all the necessary accessories to carry these items: 1) medium sized dog 2) panniers (~25+ lbs of weight) 3) water embosses to hold water containers 4) pannier bags (larger sized ones to hold more items in order to have less bags on the bike). Check out Benno's e-bike innovations; He has excellent quality e-bikes along with full development of necessary accessories for his e-bikes to do all one could desire to do with the bike in carrying cargo and using it for light technical trails as for one's adventure riding.
Great review! I'm eyeing the steprhru but worried about height. I'm 5'3" and don't want to have to remove the suspension seat post cuz I'll be riding trails. What did your wife think of the stepthru with the suspension seat? Was she comfortable stopping and starting? Thank you!!
I am torn between the 2.8 inch tires with throttle on the Stellar Falcon, and the quiet mid drive motor on the VanPowers Urban Glide Ultra. The ideal bike would be a step thru with a quiet mid drive (UrbanGlide), 2.8 - 3.0 inch tires (Stellar Falcon) and full suspension (like the Heybike Horizon). Can you build that Euphree?
Is the adjustable stem proprietary? I ask because I am not a fan of adjustable stems in general but that one is also exceptionally long. I would want to swap to a mountain bike style (like 30mm reach) stem and put bmx bars on it to give me my rise. I always thought bikes with a crazy amount of space between the frame and the bars looks off and just not right at all. I know it probably isn't a real problem as alot of people who ride ebikes would have no issue with like a folding bike that has a giant amount of stem coming out of the top of the frame, where I am aiming more towards a slammed stack height with riser bars, it just looks and also feels better, tho that may be placebo. I am basically wanting to make the adult bmx with a motor, that I pretended to ride when I was a kid on my bmx..lol
Sounds like you would like a Wired Freedom or Cruiser, or an Ecells 5 Star or Step Star. A 4 of those models have BMX bars, big power, and full suspension for a similar price to the bike in this video.
Great review. Bike is not for me though. Great bikes for guests though. Only problem is they're to pricey. Do you think you could get a hold of some E-Cell bikes since there has been a little heated discussion going on with the comparison to Wired freedoms. As always thanks and keep up the good work. We Appreciate you.
City Robin is the lightest and motor is quietest, Route 66 had the best power and fattest tires and biggest battery, Steller Falcon was just a great all arounder. I like Stellar the best, motor was a little buzzy but the fit and finish is outstanding and its very versatile. if all 3 were lined up in front of me i would jump on the Stellar falcon, but you gotta go with what speaks to you!
Man....I'm really shopping hard for my Ebike and I'm back here comparing this Stellar Falcon to the City Robin X+. Wow, this Stellar Falcon did NOT do the hill climb much better than the CRX+...sounds cool with acronyms ;). That's crazy considering the SF has a 750w sustained and 1200w peak hub while the CRX+ only has the 500w sustained 900w peak. The CRX+ is A LOT quieter doing it too! I see the CRX+ has 85nm torque which is impressive enough.....I wonder what that SF has...it's not given in the specs. Surprisingly, seeing your videos of both bikes side by side... The SF really didn't outperform the CRX+ as you would imagine by looking at the spec numbers....and again....the SF hub was noisier. Very puzzling. The SF is only 14 lbs heavier than the CRX+ so this does not make sense. I really need to drive the 35 minutes to compare this SF to a few other bikes...one being the Aventon Adventure. Why is Aventon giving away a free EXTRA battery with their bikes???? Makes you think they're clearing house for new designs. ugh!!! I really don't want to wait a month or two to find out. lol
I hear ya. But no matter when you buy, something newer and better will be coming out soon. If you bought one of those you mentioned, within a year, you'll wish you waited. I'm 68 and experienced that many times.
Ride one & see if you feel that way. Love my new mid-drive, but the ONLY bike that i regret not buying is the Euphree City Robin X+. It's more comfortable than you can imagine, and it was plenty zippy.
2 drive modes on this Euphree ebike .... torque and cadence. You should adjust pricing mentally for that capability. I paid $2100 (with tax) for my Aventon Aventure 2 with hub drive and torque sensor only. The Euphree would be about $2400 with tax, plus it has a suspension seat post my Aventure 2 does not have.
@@tonygiancoli9626 So when the City Robin X+ price drops $200....should I pull the trigger and get it? I gave the City Robin a test ride and it was ok but I wonder if the "+" improvements make it a better bike.
Just curious, do you have any other ebike suggestions with similar features and customizations at lower prices? I'm always interested at getting more for less. Thanks.
I priced Trek/Electra at $3750 plus tax before I bought my Aventon Aventure 2 for $2100, including tax. This Euphree has suspension seat post and 2 drive modes ..... torque sensor and cadence sensor. I don't think the $2300 + tax price is high at all, in comparison to a lot of Class 3 ebike brands.
I have this e-bike and riding in full turbo mode, 29 is the absolute limit. If you do almost anything else, the speed is much less making it almost impossible to keep up with traffic. I really like many aspects of this e-bike eg the seat post suspension, the 27.5" diameter tires, and the 2.8" tire width are also very good, but the battery is a big disappointing issue with the max distance perhaps less than even 20 useable miles when using the throttle - I am wondering if my e-bike is actually defective - it is brand new and 20 miles when using it is awful. It has a speed limiter/controller which is also very disappointing because you can't disable it like most other e-bikes - it's like owning and paying for an e-bike that someone else controls..
Pricing is not based on motor alone but yes it will be too pricey for some. I think Euphree is aiming at providing more premium bikes. hey if there is dealer near you stop in and compare one to whatever bike you are currently riding, would be curious to hear more of what you think.
I priced Trek/Electra at $3750 plus tax before I bought my Aventon Aventure 2 for $2100, including tax. This Euphree has suspension seat post and 2 drive modes ..... torque sensor and cadence sensor. I don't think the $2300 + tax price is high at all, in comparison to a lot of Class 3 ebike brands.
FOLKS MENTION 3 OTHER OPTIONS NEAR THE PRICE POINT. AS THE MAN IS TRYING TO TELL YOU. BUY ANOTHER BRAND GOOD LUCK BUT HAVE A FEELING YOUR NEVER HAPPY. WHST 10, 11, OR 22 YEAR OLD KID. " IM TAKING MY SAND PALE AND SHOVEL HOME, YOU KIDS BEAT ME. LMAO

Exactly. 4” fat tires kind of suck for 90 percent of the riding situations.

Choice of cadence or torque sensor! This option alone peaks my interest in this bike. Good review as always!
My new Red Step Thru came in today. Had a short ride so far. Will be doing more testing soon. But so far so good! ... thanks again for your review.
Definitely one of the more compelling ebike offerings. Some of the best paint color selections i've ever seen and components seem to be a step above from what we commonly see. Will likely be one of the best commuters for this year. Definitely has that wow factor without a break the bank pricetag.

Sure the Specialized is a mid drive, but I would take the Euphree over it, even at the same $4k price point. Might have to “upgrade” my Specialized with the Stellar 😎
Great review! Perfect level of detail. I have this motor, Bafang H640, used on a DIY 27.5" ebike. It has a programmable controller using a Bafang programming cable and software from Bafang. It is loud and can hit 31.5 mph unrestricted, a nice beastie. I restricted the Throttle to Class 2 and the Pedal Assist to Class 3.
Great review. This one might be the one for my wife. With all the features and dual pedal modes. The available colors are awesome. Now if they put the swipe back handle bar on it I am sure she would be sold might be anyway. Thanks again Citizen
Very nice looking bike. I’d be curious how it compares to the new Himiway A7 Pro which is full suspension with a mid drive priced very similar.
This seems to have more get and go just less torque since it's not a mid drive.
I ride the Aventon Aventure 2 with a tourqe sensor and love it. Be as it may i always thought whichever company develops a system which allows you to choose between torque and cadence at the press of a button would be at the forefront of Ebike design and evolution. Looks like Euphree has arrived!
Great review, thanks! Just tried the City Robin at a dealer in Raleigh, and it had a lot of torque for only 500w. Very well made, nimble and light, "refined" is the best way to describe it Can't wait to try this one with 750w. Will likely replace my 1000w 4" fat tire bike that's just heavy and brutish.
Which shop? East Coast Speed Shop?
@@opinionator3884 Yep!
Really nice bike - needs a lot more battery.
I just bought this bike and I am in general very pleased with it but there are issues and one of them is the battery range. Because our roads (at least in the bike lanes) are so filled with stones and trash etc. that I need to often ride in the regular lane and to keep up with the traffic with speeds of approx 25+mph it takes battery power and I need to use the speed lever almost all the time - I am finding that this eats up the battery! I would love to have an inline "second battery" option - I really think it is a must but it is not available now. So many other ebikes have this - so, when for Euphree? If you have distance or needed speed issues this ebike might not be the best option at this time.
Good video! Not having rear suspension, I was going to click away as soon as you said the price but stuck around and was actually impressed with the controller's software and cadence/torque feature. And when I thought about it, the fact they they seem to have a good US presence is a plus. I've overpaid for a lot of random things (including my Surly Big Easy), because of the ability to speak with a rep in English or (at least) Spanish just in case I have a problem. Looks like a potentially good bike, but probably still about $400 or $500 overpriced.
Appreciate your feedback. We actually had many internal discussions about price vs. BOM spec in our design and prototyping phase. We could definitely shave $400-500 off the price. We would simply change the following items...
- Schwable Johnny Watts >>> Kenda Havok (-$50)
- SR Suntour Air Fork >>> SR Suntour Mechanical fork (-$200)
- Suspension Seat Post NCX >>> Rigid stiff seat Post (-$125)
- Hidden integrated wires >>> Exposed birds next out front (-$30 cheaper stem and assembly labor)
- Buffed out seamless welds >>> Rough weld bead
Overall were trying to position ourselves as a mid tier brand that utilizes name brand, high quality components. There are just tons of off brand, no customer service, no spare parts, no dealer ebike companies out there. We could be one of those brands too. If we were like that we'd be cheaper too, but if you call us tomorrow someone from Houston, Texas will pick up the phone and answer all your questions.
@@euphree it’s definitely worth the extra money for all of those features.
Very nicely finished bike and a great review. I like the tire choice, gives people an option. Not sure about the pricing given the current market. It would be great if they could sell it at $1799 and make a decent profit but it’s definitely a step above the typical cheap Chinese bike and may be worth it.
yes, very nicely finished bike, having ridden several bikes from Euphree I will say their bikes are worthy of a slight premium price, they are a step above.
Their eye for detail is impressive and honestly refreshing from all of the low quality mass produce banal ebikes that oversaturate the market.
@12:13 Love your helpful comparison. I wish there were more 'Plus' tire ebikes than fat tire bikes so many brands make. I wonder if you can convert a fat tire ebike to a 2.8-inch plus tire by changing wheels? (admittedly, the cost of that adds up)
Great review, I was waiting on this. I was hoping for the 750 motor upgrade on the city robin x+. This is a pretty bike but doesn’t “wow” me like the robin bike does. Gonna hold on a little longer in hopes. 😅
Excellent review dude !
In spite of the things ebike companies do to change/improve their technical performance, I hope you are telling them that the appearance of too many ebikes on the market today is monotonous and boring, Chris. From a distance, all I see on the bikes reviewed here is black ..... no bling, no attraction. If I get a 2nd ebike to supplement my Aventon Aventure 2, it will need bling. Electric Bike Company is the only manufacturer I've seen that has appearance options with the bling I prefer, and that can be unlocked for top performance.
However, kudos for the cadence/torque sensor selection option on the Euphree, and for smoothing the welds on the frame. I've spoken with the owner of Biktrix, who says they are looking into doing that dual sensor option for their ebikes.
Your time using the cadence sensor was brief in the review ..... for comparison was it capable of reaching the same top speed as you got with torque sensor in turbo mode?
(I did notice however that your top speed on the Euphree was a couple of mph slower than my Aventure 2 with torque sensor in turbo mode.)
does your Aventon 2 have a 750 watt hub? Is it quite than this motor? how fast does it go and how many miles can you get out of it? thanks
@@wkw4095 I haven't had it long, since last May. I only ride it on warm days. Yes, 750 W hub. Hard to say if it is quieter, comparing a video to the real bike in your hands, but I've tested lots of ebikes .... none of them are quiet.
I did one test of the range last summer, from a full charge. I was trying to ride it as fast as it would go, while staying in turbo mode most of the way, used throttle for cresting hills. I have lots of hills around me. I got 44 miles on that charge.
In the fall, before it got cold, I started another range test, going to the opposite end of speed and terrain, only riding it at normal 10-15 mph speeds and only on flatter ground, and no use of throttle. So far, before cold weather stopped my test, I've gone 15 miles and only used 8% of battery, but I'll have to start over. The bike's been sitting idle since late November, and now sits at 88% on the gauge. Lost 4% while sitting, but I have turned it on and off a few times. I expect I'll get more than 100 miles on a charge doing that kind of riding, with the less than year-old battery.
Legal top speed is 28. All I can say here is that the Aventure2 is faster than that, but it doesn't approach the 39mph I'm seeing some reviewers hit with ebikes.
I bought it through an authorized Aventon dealer. Paid $2150 including tax, and dealer had assembled everything for a fee included in that price. You can't beat this bike for that price. Trek/Electra bikes were $3750-$4000, and I tested them but they would not exceed 28 mph. The $3750 model was actually only 20 mph tops.
Beautiful looking bike. Is it just me, or is that motor louder than other 750 W motors?
How about giving us your top 3 E-Bikes all things considered for someone 6 foot three or taller? Maybe just a separate video reviewing all three of them again lined up and so forth?
Can you add a suspension dropper post, or a regular dropper post, to the step through version with internally routed cables?
Great review! The new Radster has 100nm of torque. What is the torque of the Stellar Falcon?
The Stellar Falcon motor has 90Nm of torque. I own one, and it has a ton of power!
Great Review , as always. What are your thoughts on this bike vs Velotrec Discover 2 and the Radster Trail bike?
Hello, I was wondering if the "Ride Style" setting also effects the throttle response as well as the pedal assist. Love your videos!
Great review... Would like to know what kind of range I might get with this bike. This could be the one I settle on for my ebike purchase.
Great video, question, Lectric XPress or Stellar Falcon? And I will buy what you go with.
@dr.arnoldbenitez5642 both are great bikes. I guess it depends what you're most interested in. The Lectric is lighter weight, more powerful on hills, and is way cheaper. The Stellar falcon is faster top end speed, has a better fit and finish, it comes with more accessories like suspension seatpost, tail light brake light, fenders rack, etc
Which is more comfortable to ride? This or the City Robin X+? I'd love to see a video comparing the two.
Damn fantastic review bro!! When it comes to these e bikes I can tell you really know whats up!! Peace
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed
I noticed in your video when you adjust the stem all the way up/back, you were sitting almost straight up. Is this good enough or would the swept-back handlebar (like the City Robin) still provide a more comfortable riding experience?
Dude, I've been searching high and low for a good Ebike, one that has step thru, has 750wtt tork and speed, has 27.5 tires and gives you a very upright riding position. Very impressed with Euphree quality - and loved their Robin X cruiser, but wanted at least a 750 watt motor. Due to back issues and recovering carpal tunnel, I HAVE TO RIDE as upright as possible. I am 6' and need good leg extension too. Can the assembly be done by an amateur? I have brain overload due to many many choices. Any feedback wud be so appreciate!!!!
Yes assembly is very easy just have to attach handlebars, front wheel, fender, and pedals
As I love to ride long distances and ever since 2016, my next BUG for bike riding which is BIKE TOURING, these are the characteristics I search for if and when I am looking to buy an electric bike: Able to go on all terrains (but not too technical trails), quality of Components (e-bikes should really be no lower than 8-speeds for range of gears), dual battery capable (for those who desire to ride even longer distances such as with bike touring), how the rear rack is developed (if it can hold pannier bags yet have top space to place something on top of the rear rack without interfering with panniers along with its total load capacity), power of motor as well if it is hub or mid drive (mid drives are way better for those who enjoy riding longer distances), and a decent payload capacity (400+lbs) and of course the kickstand; how it is going to stabilize the bike when rider is not on it, but user has cargo on the bike when it is in its' standstill position. Tern has a great one; OROX. I know there will be other companies who will bounce off of their development at a more affordable price; I am just waiting for someone within the Bike Industry to do so ( you guys knock off of each other often) So, in summary, I am searching for an e-bike that has the ability to do these things: Ride on all types of terrain, have a payload capacity of at least 400 lbs, a cargo type of rear rack and have all the necessary accessories to carry these items: 1) medium sized dog 2) panniers (~25+ lbs of weight) 3) water embosses to hold water containers 4) pannier bags (larger sized ones to hold more items in order to have less bags on the bike). Check out Benno's e-bike innovations; He has excellent quality e-bikes along with full development of necessary accessories for his e-bikes to do all one could desire to do with the bike in carrying cargo and using it for light technical trails as for one's adventure riding.
Great review! I'm eyeing the steprhru but worried about height. I'm 5'3" and don't want to have to remove the suspension seat post cuz I'll be riding trails. What did your wife think of the stepthru with the suspension seat? Was she comfortable stopping and starting? Thank you!!
Great video. Please tell me where you are at, such a beautiful town.

I am torn between the 2.8 inch tires with throttle on the Stellar Falcon, and the quiet mid drive motor on the VanPowers Urban Glide Ultra. The ideal bike would be a step thru with a quiet mid drive (UrbanGlide), 2.8 - 3.0 inch tires (Stellar Falcon) and full suspension (like the Heybike Horizon). Can you build that Euphree?
You didn't say it's range on a 15 am hr battery . How far can it go with the thinner tires
He didn't need to , he assumed most read. It's crystal clear. READ
Is the adjustable stem proprietary? I ask because I am not a fan of adjustable stems in general but that one is also exceptionally long. I would want to swap to a mountain bike style (like 30mm reach) stem and put bmx bars on it to give me my rise. I always thought bikes with a crazy amount of space between the frame and the bars looks off and just not right at all. I know it probably isn't a real problem as alot of people who ride ebikes would have no issue with like a folding bike that has a giant amount of stem coming out of the top of the frame, where I am aiming more towards a slammed stack height with riser bars, it just looks and also feels better, tho that may be placebo. I am basically wanting to make the adult bmx with a motor, that I pretended to ride when I was a kid on my bmx..lol
Sounds like you would like a Wired Freedom or Cruiser, or an Ecells 5 Star or Step Star. A 4 of those models have BMX bars, big power, and full suspension for a similar price to the bike in this video.
Great review. Bike is not for me though. Great bikes for guests though. Only problem is they're to pricey. Do you think you could get a hold of some E-Cell bikes since there has been a little heated discussion going on with the comparison to Wired freedoms. As always thanks and keep up the good work. We Appreciate you.
you showed the speed being adjustable in settings. did you ever try raising it above factory settings. was it able to go above 30 mph?
What range are you getting on this bike?
Stellar step through / or city robin x+ through vs route 66 step through which one you like and why little help
City Robin is the lightest and motor is quietest, Route 66 had the best power and fattest tires and biggest battery, Steller Falcon was just a great all arounder. I like Stellar the best, motor was a little buzzy but the fit and finish is outstanding and its very versatile. if all 3 were lined up in front of me i would jump on the Stellar falcon, but you gotta go with what speaks to you!
You are definitely one of the two best! Happytail TV is also excellent. And I will take the under on your wife being 5’4”!😊
Nice
How good does pedal with out power?
Do you know what weight limit is on the bike?
Man....I'm really shopping hard for my Ebike and I'm back here comparing this Stellar Falcon to the City Robin X+. Wow, this Stellar Falcon did NOT do the hill climb much better than the CRX+...sounds cool with acronyms ;). That's crazy considering the SF has a 750w sustained and 1200w peak hub while the CRX+ only has the 500w sustained 900w peak. The CRX+ is A LOT quieter doing it too! I see the CRX+ has 85nm torque which is impressive enough.....I wonder what that SF has...it's not given in the specs. Surprisingly, seeing your videos of both bikes side by side... The SF really didn't outperform the CRX+ as you would imagine by looking at the spec numbers....and again....the SF hub was noisier. Very puzzling. The SF is only 14 lbs heavier than the CRX+ so this does not make sense. I really need to drive the 35 minutes to compare this SF to a few other bikes...one being the Aventon Adventure. Why is Aventon giving away a free EXTRA battery with their bikes???? Makes you think they're clearing house for new designs. ugh!!! I really don't want to wait a month or two to find out. lol
Kinda annoyed. I just got the City Robin X+, and both Rad Power Bikes and Euphree now have newer models.
I hear ya. But no matter when you buy, something newer and better will be coming out soon. If you bought one of those you mentioned, within a year, you'll wish you waited. I'm 68 and experienced that many times.
Yep that happens sometimes but these companies have to innovate. The City Robin X+ is very nice though.
I like Euphree bikes, but that motor is too loud.
Are all Bafang hub motors loud like this?
can you put a front motor on them?
can you ride in the rain?
That motor sounds horrible! I was ready to order one but now I'm wondering if I can deal with that constantly!
Seems kind of expensive for a hub drive system.
Ride one & see if you feel that way. Love my new mid-drive, but the ONLY bike that i regret not buying is the Euphree City Robin X+. It's more comfortable than you can imagine, and it was plenty zippy.
2 drive modes on this Euphree ebike .... torque and cadence. You should adjust pricing mentally for that capability. I paid $2100 (with tax) for my Aventon Aventure 2 with hub drive and torque sensor only. The Euphree would be about $2400 with tax, plus it has a suspension seat post my Aventure 2 does not have.
@@tonygiancoli9626 So when the City Robin X+ price drops $200....should I pull the trigger and get it? I gave the City Robin a test ride and it was ok but I wonder if the "+" improvements make it a better bike.
PS when are you going to open a test-drive shop so we can pay you $X / hour to try all these great bikes before dropping $2+k??
Hint, hint 😉
Yes 27.5 tires. Fat tire are a fad that needs to go away. The variety of 27.5 tires are plentiful and affordable for all riding types.
yes. the 27.5 x 2.8 felt much more nimble than the 26x4
Very good bike just too damn expensive like most
Just curious, do you have any other ebike suggestions with similar features and customizations at lower prices? I'm always interested at getting more for less. Thanks.
2300 is not a small price tag but I will say that Euphree bikes are a step above.
I priced Trek/Electra at $3750 plus tax before I bought my Aventon Aventure 2 for $2100, including tax. This Euphree has suspension seat post and 2 drive modes ..... torque sensor and cadence sensor. I don't think the $2300 + tax price is high at all, in comparison to a lot of Class 3 ebike brands.
First!
37.50 mph..?? Wow…Can this bike really go that fast..?
He got only 29-30 mph in full turbo mode.
I have this e-bike and riding in full turbo mode, 29 is the absolute limit. If you do almost anything else, the speed is much less making it almost impossible to keep up with traffic. I really like many aspects of this e-bike eg the seat post suspension, the 27.5" diameter tires, and the 2.8" tire width are also very good, but the battery is a big disappointing issue with the max distance perhaps less than even 20 useable miles when using the throttle - I am wondering if my e-bike is actually defective - it is brand new and 20 miles when using it is awful. It has a speed limiter/controller which is also very disappointing because you can't disable it like most other e-bikes - it's like owning and paying for an e-bike that someone else controls..
Too expensive for hub drive .
Pricing is not based on motor alone but yes it will be too pricey for some. I think Euphree is aiming at providing more premium bikes. hey if there is dealer near you stop in and compare one to whatever bike you are currently riding, would be curious to hear more of what you think.

FOLKS MENTION 3 OTHER OPTIONS NEAR THE PRICE POINT. AS THE MAN IS TRYING TO TELL YOU. BUY ANOTHER BRAND GOOD LUCK BUT HAVE A FEELING YOUR NEVER HAPPY. WHST 10, 11, OR 22 YEAR OLD KID. " IM TAKING MY SAND PALE AND SHOVEL HOME, YOU KIDS BEAT ME. LMAO
It’s too expensive not worth it

5919, what is O WIZE ONE, PLEASE PONTIFICATE. YA CANT
Bravo! I just saw this bike on Euphree's site 2 days ago, and you already have not one but, both options on this model!! Fan for Life!!
