I really love that theyve gone with a multitude of options. Having the option for a Nuvinci with a CX and integrated battery all the way down to the Nexus with the active plus really opens it up to everyones needs. I was always a fan of the active plus for leisure and the CX for steep extended climbs.
These bikes do look comfortable... you said its about $100 difference between the first two- how much more for the one with the stronger motor? And do they all have the suspension seatpost?
Great questions! Thanks Megan! The Performance CX retails at $1000 more. The only one without a suspension seatpost is the medium model the Premio Sport.
I see that most high priced e bikes use a 36 v. system and a 250 watt motor. I was under the impression that 48v and higher wattage was the way to go. I am confused on this subject, can you shed some light on the matter? Thanks.
pedro fernandez I think you're comparing mid-drive motors and hub motors. Mid-drive motors, like Bosch motors, come with 36v batteries with 250W nominal motors bc you don't need the extra power that hub motors require. In order for hub motors to spin forward from a standstill it needs more rate of power flow (watts) and more force (volts) to get you moving, and therefore burns through battery quicker. Mid-drive motors don't need that bc you turn the crank to get started. This saves overall battery and motor life.
@@pedrofernandez3893 A bit more, but not as much as advertised in my experience. Generally, I've seen drivetrain parts last only a bit less time than on an acoustic bike or on a hub motor.
It’s all in the name. Pegasus will be my first E Bike for sure.
Hell yeah! Love to hear that!

I'm a huge fan of the active line. It's definitely not for everyone, but I love that i can still get a solid workout on it.
I'm really digging the classic Dutch look of the Pegasus eBikes. This isn't your typical Omafiets bike though! Bosch powered!
Super hardy and fun bikes!
Than you should try Brose that is more powered!

Tire pump in rear rack - included?
Yep!

@@HectorSalcedo Thanks for the explanation
@@pedrofernandez3893 Hector's answer is perfect! Thanks Hector!
@@FlyRidesUSA Also I suppose mid drive motors put a lot of pressure on the chain as well?
