New ebike companies enter the crowded market seemingly every other week.
Vvoltslaunchthis year was a refreshing change of pace.
It bodes well for the Vvolts more affordable models.
I appreciate the choice of tire here.
55 lbs isnt featherweight, but youll often see fat-tire ebikes cross into the 60 and 70 lb realm.
The Sirius uses a mid-drive motor by Taiwanese company MPF.
More importantly, its as smooth as any motor Ive used from big names like Bosch or Shimano.
As a torque-sensing design, it responds fluidly to how hard you are pedaling, not justifyou are pedaling.
The Enviolo hub further adds to the impression of smoothness.
Paired with the Gates CDX carbon belt drive, this ebikes drivetrain should require little-to-no maintenance for years.
Besides, the light is brighter and has a better beam pattern than most bikes.
Youll just have to remember to charge the taillight too.
I also need to give a shout-out to the bikes unboxing experience.
For most people, riding in assist levels 2 and 3, 30-40 miles seems realistic.
Theres a whole lot to like here.
While $2,700 is no small change, the Sirius feels like it justifies its price.
Its a polished, no-nonsense ebike with some of the smoothest pedal-assist Ive tested in a remarkably comfortable design.
With a 3-year warranty backing it up, the Vvolt Sirius is well worth your consideration.
