5 years agoHi Court, great review but with all due respect is there any way of having bikes from this category (I call them light, power assisted bikes to try to differentiate them) reviewed by someone else who doesn’t suffer from knee injuries? I have an Orbea Gain, so different system but the same general idea. These bikes aren’t meant to appeal to the type of person who wants tons of power and “stuff” like panniers, racks, etc. There’s nothing wrong with those heavy bikes but they appeal to people who have health issues and can’t really cycle anymore or those who are trying to get from point A to B as quickly as possible and with as little effort as possible. That’s totally not the target audience of light bikes, which appeal to people who want to cycle, want a bike that is light and handles like a normal bike and just need a little bit of help now and again to keep up with friends or handle some hills. This type of rider would never consider something like an R&M or some of these other 50-60 odd pound bikes. Light bikes are selling well and getting great reviews from other biking oriented sources, so being told that they won’t zip you along by ghost peddling at 28mph for 60 miles on turbo mode isn’t really adding anything for people who want this type of bike. Talking about how they handle, how easy they are to use without assist, that is what matters to anyone who has any interest in a light ebike. Anyhow, don’t mean to be critical, but reviewing this type of bike with the same criteria used for bikes that have a completely different audience and objective is doing a disservice to them.

5 years agoThat’s a good suggestion, Ron! As the season winds down a bit, we’re working on some engineering projects and categorization updates. I feel like this is a great suggestion and appreciate you taking the time to share it. I think you’re correct about different criteria. In the video, I really tried to communicate how this bike fits into a different sort of space and is in between acoustic and full power, I’ll keep working on this communication and ways to help people find the bikes that offer this type of experience here on the site :)

For buyers w/o the sugar coat: in other words it is a completely useless, underpowered ebike, fashioned with the cheaply made and extremely inferior Fazua Chinese system. All for just 7grand.
What was Bulls thinking? Are we making an ebike, a prototype? or just want to see if people will be gullible of our subpar product? To add insult to the injury of spending your hard earned American dollars, for charging the pack you would have to spend an additional 30-45seconds of securing/parking the ebike so that it won’t fall, unmount the battery and charge it off the ebike. Then repeat process for mounting it. Did I mention that you have to pay 7k for this free fitness exercise? Zero sales anyone?

5 years agoFair points, I do think there’s a subset of users that would really enjoy this ebike, but it felt like a niche product to me… it’s the first Fazua to hit the market here, so maybe we will see things improve in future versions :)

4 years agoI just took delivery of the WILD FLOW EVO RS and I would like to update a few things from this review. My bike came with two threaded holes at the rear just under the axle 18mm apart – Bulls sells a kickstand with 18mm spacing. I’ve ordered it hoping that it will work on this bike.
My bike came with a frame integrated control (not on the handlebar) and the updated 250X version of the battery which allows you to wake the battery without having to remove it.
So far, I am impressed with the torque from this motor and how light the bike feels. If you want an alternative to the over-priced Specialized Turbo Levo SL, this is an excellent choice with 60Nm of torque, considerably more than the Specialized.
I am very happy with this bike so far. If you want some assist when you are tiring, this bike is great. If you want the bike to always do most of the work and don’t mind more heft, there are plenty of less expensive choices that will do a better job.

4 years agoThanks for the update about their latest builds on this bike, Rich! Sounds like it’s working well. I’m so glad that they updated the battery so you don’t have to remove it in order to wake the bike… that’s huge, especially if you don’t have a handlebar remote!
