Ive slowly become a fan of e-bikes.
But theres one thing holding me back from getting totally on the electrified, uh, bike: Price.
The VanMoof and Cowboy will set you back around $3,800 and $2,200 respectively.
Which, and lets be honest here, is a lot of money.
you might get a solid second hand car for that.
Anyway, its this aspect of e-bikes where the Analog Motion AM1 e-bike wants to stand out.
The big question is: What do you lose with that price?
Well, I suggest you check out the video at the top of the page.
We put a lot of time into that, and think youll probably like it.
That, friends, is called doing it all.

What does the Analog Motion AM1 e-bike look like?
Honestly, the Analog Motion AM1 is a genuine looker:
Its sleek, sophisticated, and understated.
Ive even had people stop me and compliment its looks.
I might not trust those folks implicitly, but at least the two-wheelers aesthetics create an impression.
Something Im also a big fan of are the mudguards.
In that the Analog Motion AM1 e-bike actually has some.Andthey look good.
Well, unless you wanted mud sprayed up your back.
How heavy is the AM1 e-bike?
Including the battery, it clocks in at 13.5kg.
When this happens, youll be happy you have to a two-wheeler thats light enough to use without power.
What about the battery life?
Now this is one of the more disappointing parts of the Analog Motion AM1 e-bike.
This isnt terrible, but it does mean you oughta charge you battery pretty regularly.
And how does the Analog Motion AM1 e-bike ride?
Finally, we get to the meat of it!
To summarize, pretty damn well.
Basically, the motor is powerful and riding the Analog Motion AM1 feels intuitive and fluid.
In my eyes, the motor isnt quite as refined as the Cowboy, but its damn close.
Another positive point were the brakes.
Which is a good thing when youre hitting speeds above 25km/h.
Any negative points?
First off, I really hated the handlebars.
The LCD computer on the Analog Motion AM1 e-bike is also deeply unlikeable.
Its not bad per se it does everything you could want, really it just looks crap.
Conclude this for me
The Analog Motion AM1 is a damn solid e-bike with a few flaws.
Would I recommend it if money was no object?
Or if youre certain that e-bikes are your preferred commuting choice?
I believe there are better vehicles out there.
Where the e-bike finds is niche though is price.
While its not exactlycheap, its $1,300 price tag isnt insane.
The Analog Motion AM1 e-bike would effectively pay for itself in that time as a commuting method.
Basically, Im a big fan of the e-bike.
No, but you have to cut some corners when youre making a lower end machine.
