Wow guys… this is a VERY good comparisons review overall… comparison videos suits you guys well… I sat down a drank my coffee while watching this and it’s as good as watching a 60 minute episode! KUDOS! As I’m looking to get a bike for me and one for the wife… this channel is and will always be the 1st point of reference for it! Thanks for them awesome videos and keep up the good work!
Both really nice bikes , I love the fact that they went with 27s instead of the usual clumsy fat tires that most others use . Way better ride and handling with these tires . Would love a Turris with a 20ah battery .
Y'all realize the PAS levels are completely customizable on the 700, right? The number of levels, the wattage output at each level, and the amperage: all can be changed in the head unit. Easily. No hacks. This video is kind of silly.
🙏 please remember to do a Ride1Up Portola vs Lectric XP 3.0 comparison. 👏 EBR is the most comprehensive YT ebike reviews & most trust worthy 👏 Keep up the Good Work 🥇
If anyone wanted a TLDR Pricing: The Turris is priced around $1,300, while the 700 Series is about $1,700. Classification: Both are Class 3 e-bikes with throttle up to 20 mph and pedal assist up to 28 mph. Motors: Both have 750W rear hub motors, but the 700 Series uses a Bafang motor which provides slightly more power and acceleration compared to the Shengyi motor on the Turris. Batteries: The 700 Series has a larger battery (720Wh) compared to the Turris (640Wh). Tires: The Turris has knobbier tires better suited for off-road use, while the 700 Series has more city/touring oriented tires. Weight: The Turris is lighter (58.7 lbs) compared to the 700 Series (66 lbs), making it feel more nimble. Hill climbing: Both bikes performed similarly on throttle-only hill tests, but the 700 Series was faster when pedaling. Range: The Turris had better overall range (20.45-51.5 miles), while the 700 Series offered faster range (25.18-45 miles). Intended use: The Turris is better suited for light off-road use, while the 700 Series is more oriented towards commuting and city riding.
The 700 will do 28+ with the throttle. Just change the speed limit setting. Plus, PAS on the 700 (and maybe the Turris?) is completely customizable. You can change the number of assist levels, the wattage for each level, and the amp limit for each level. Not "hacks;" just configurable in the display head unit.
Thanks for this thorough comparison of two very similarly-spec’d (except for battery capacity and drivetrain) ebikes. I’m very pleased with my Ride1Up LMT’d but always wondered between the Turris and 700, which one I’d recommend to friends. I really appreciate you going through this and giving us your judgements. I agree both are excellent bikes, especially for their price points. Sounds like beyond price, the Turris feels more nimble due to its lower mass and slightly (to my eyes) more forward-leaning riding posture and the 700 feels more solid, powerful, and comfortable.
Having just built two 700s for friends and a Turris for my wife, I much prefer the Turris. It is lighter, much more nimble and fun to ride. The 700 is a Cadillac. The Turris is a Miata.
The Turris recently received some upgrades, including a higher-capacity battery pack (14 from 12.8Ah), a quieter motor (AKM vs Shengyi), an Altus vs Tourney derailleur, and hydraulic brakes from LBN vs Zoom, and a new brake-indicating taillight, closing a few gaps and making the decision more difficult. Between the two frames, I prefer the aesthetics of the Turris, but that’s subjective. I don’t know what the “angled” gears are in the new motor, as angled can mean bevel or helical gears, but my guess is helical gears. With the same specifications, a helical vs straight gear can offer quieter meshing and greater torque handling, with the requirement of a thrust bearing.
@@lumpia91791 Getting caught on the wrong side of running updates really bites, especially JUST before an upgrade. Still glad they’re making improvements. You still got a good ebike, but yeah… As far as timing, I got an email from Ride1Up listing the changes on Jan 5, 2024. Here’s the body of the message: Smoother, Stronger, Quieter...Better! The Turris has been the go-to ebike for value and versatility since its inception. We just updated it with epic upgrades to make your ride experience smoother, safer and packed with even more value then ever.
Updates Include: - Improved brakes with LBN hydraulics - - Silent AKM angled gear hub motor - - Longer range with a 14Ah battery - - Addition of rear braking light - It might be worth asking them nicely about swapping bikes or getting any compatible components since you got yours just a few days before they announced the component upgrades. Doesn’t Ride1Up have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee? I think there is a mileage cap though.
@@Swamprowdy hopefully the plastic thing doesn’t break off like mine did in shipping! Basically the plastic cover part gets broken off into where you place the skewer thru! You have to use a wood screw screwed into the plastic to pull it out. Delayed me a couple days from having fun
@Electric bike report have you heard of the tomberlin evoke Moab bikes? I have a chance to buy one at a great price but cannot find any real good info or reviews.
Both options may feel a little on the smaller side, as they're only offered in a single frame size, but all of our riders are around the 6' mark and we generally find them comfortable. You will likely get a better fit on the HS models, however, as the STs have cruiser-style handlebars to accommodate shorter riders.

What are your top speeds looking like with only 7 gears?

lol WTF. When was these changes made? The site does list the new 14 battery when buying it separately. Just got mine like Jan 2 awwww

Thanks, handsome dudes, very helpful, I am buying 700 Series through your link
Much appreciated! For both the compliment, and supporting us by using our link :)
Great comparative review. Either of these bikes better suited for a 6 ft guy? The 700 seems more cramped in the videos.
Both options may feel a little on the smaller side, as they're only offered in a single frame size, but all of our riders are around the 6' mark and we generally find them comfortable. You will likely get a better fit on the HS models, however, as the STs have cruiser-style handlebars to accommodate shorter riders.
