Great review Ben. I bought my Royal Dutch Gazelle U380 HMB from you back in May. Similar to this e-bike and have since done over 1800 miles. Highly recommend to buy from the guys at Fully Charged. Hopefully see you when I bring my e-bike in for a service.
Thanks so much for your reply and thank you for choosing Fully Charged! Great to hear you've done over 1800 miles now on your Gazelle Ultimate. We love the Ultimate range, belt-driven and step-through, and at an attractive price point. Yes, make sure you say hi when you're in!
Bought one 2 weeks ago to replace an FS5. The motor is not powerfull enough, it should be using the CX LINE 85NM. Cannot climb the hill I used to. Kindda sad at this price. Very comfortable. Very heavy. Good distance to travel. Very well build. I run on turbo most of the time then today I bought a spare 500w battery for my long trip. I change the seat for a more comfortable one. Suspension is great. Headlight is to high on the bike, this prevent me from using a triangular bag in the front of the bike. The apps E-flow is great. Fenders are rock solid. Tires are big and grip well. Gear changing is easy with Enviolo. Easy to mount since there is no horizontal bar and this is the reason why I trade my FS5. Cheers.
Moustache more playful than RM but now Moustache have mad technology. This new frame is absolutely mind blowing belt drive enviolo is spot on for this style bike. Full suss all the way!
Great video, happy to see the bike in action. Looks as good as what I saw in real at the Montreal bike show a couple weeks ago. Love the one piece forged main structural part. Good work Moutache team!
Does the lock physically lock the drive chain so it can’t be pedalled at all? Where would you suggest putting a chain on this and what chain would you recommend
@@2JKO sure, on a e-road bike, but in my case is near impossible. Keeping up with surrounding traffic keeps me safe on the road as well as cycle paths or shared pavements. Being able to cycle at any speed between 1 and 30 mph is really useful and I how we will get legislation that will enable such ebikes. I'd be happy to insure it etc but right now that's not really an option. Once you register a powerful ebike as a motor vehicle, it's barred from the cycle lanes.
i do agree, and so do 1,000’s of others which is why it’s so popular to tinker with these bikes (such as this one) to get the limiters to top out at 20. It is a hot topic but i believe sharing schemes such as lime should be 15.5 and privately owned ebikes that have been properly built by authorised and recognised manufactures should be 20mph and after market bikes with kits should have to go through safety testing to be able to be used on the roads by an authorised body - a bit like an MOT but when they are new to get a safety certificate (and it should cost £25 or so to get this. which would out off most of these deliveroo riders, nc they should be confiscated if they don’t have it. which would prevent fires and accidents
Nothing about how fast it can go or whether it has a throttle or not. That bike looks like it has a throttle so you need insurance - no throttle no insurance needed jus tax and register(In Ireland at least) New e bike laws became law last week at flippin last.
When they never find a single fault with any given machine and speak in such adulatory tones, then you know, for sure that you are looking at paid commercial.
sadly this is not true, not paid, funded by passion, enthusiasm and experience. We only stick a small number of brands and these are brands we have invested in for a long time. We could stock 50 different brands but we choose to only stock the ones we love and believe in.
That’s a cool looking bike.
I love the fact Moustache are combining innovation and style with greener technology. Guilt free luxury :)
Great stuff guys
Thanks, team! Hope you're well!
Nice to see Moustache doing a carbon belt. Beautiful looking bike
Yes, a new innovation from Moustache.
It's a special bike, I've got one ready for test ride at Fully Charged New Forest
Looking forward to seeing pick-up on this bike in New Forest, Steve!
Belt drive good, look forward to the longer video.
it’s out !
we released this a couple of weeks ago in case you haven’t seen it 😆
Can't wait to test these, the Homage concept has always been a favourite.
We'd most definitely recommend giving one of these a try. The Homage is simply beautiful, a majestic beast! Perhaps the J is slightly more nimble.

I want one! My Friday 27 was Stolen and I now have R&M which is amazing too but I think I may change back to this Moustache Model!

@@2JKO Thanks Ben. Your video and enthusiasm got me in to Moustache the first time looks like you have done it again!

it’s a beauty
Fantastic bike!

Hi 👋 is it possible to retro fit the PBS large self supported rack to the olive framed bike ?
Yes it is, it’s quite a long job but we have carried it out successfully both ways in our london bridge service centre
Moustache J vs R&M homade - showdown...
Riese & Muller: Hold my Homage
Also nothing on whether it has an EU certificate of conformity and the legal plate fitted (needed to register and tax the bike (In ireland)
Lovely bike, but you'd think for £5k plus they would have more than 2 colours available!!
There's 3 colours available Geoffrey : black, green and grey ( like a silvery white).
Very nice bike, wouldn't want it in the UK because of our abysmal ebike speed limits.
it’s actually really nice to push past the speed limiter.

"J" is spell "Gee" but without the "d" at the begining.

When do you and this bike get married?
The divorce of the current bike is going through any day and the marriage is set for mid spring.
