Part of this is down to the different frame material, but cheaper components are also a factor. A solid steel range and a smattering of aluminium and carbon models brings the brand bang up to date. 500 watt direct drive motor is quiet and capable but offers less torque and weighs more, no regen modes. Simple to operate with LED console and twist throttle only, no pedal assist or LCD…… More solid than earlier Phantom ebikes, does not fold and has reinforced battery pack supports. High end RockShox fork with lockout, upgraded pedals (that don’t fold) and hydraulic Avid DB……
Some of the low-step ProdecoTech bikes like the Stride R help eliminate this concern. The ProdecoTech Genesis 500 is one of the larger folding electric bikes around and it’s also one of the cheapest. As with most Prodeco ebikes this one uses a large gearless rear hub motor and rack mounted battery that sits just behind the seat post. It’s not the most elegant or well balanced design but it keeps the price low and works well with the simple twist throttle drive system.
Data Integrity – this system checks the data being transferred to ensure it has not been altered during tranfer. The first genesis bicycles was produced under the Ridgeback brand as the Day One model in 2001. Due to its popularity, Genesis became a label in its own right in 2006. The serial number is stamped into the bottom of the frame (under the bottom bracket).
Genesis champion themselves on built in practicalities that can be seen throughout the range, enabling their use daily across many different scenarios. As with the Day One, there are mudguards, rear pannier rack, and an internally geared rear hub for all weather dependability. A rim brake version is available in addition to the disc option and both come with Shimano genesis mountain bike Ultegra 2×11 groupsets. The maximum tyre size on bike is 28c, typical for rim brake set ups but relatively narrow for a bike with discs. But for races that are solely on roads, this should be more than adequate. The aero features of more expensive bikes are present, with cables are routed internally and the leading edges of the frame are smoothly rounded.
