2021 Eahora XC100 E-PAS | Mountain Electirc Bike

When I got this bike I looked for reviews from people who used it mt biking and found very few and none who actually used it on single tracks or in the mountains. I'm here to tell you I've done just that. I had to change the tires and put a good set of mt bike tires to get the traction I wanted and I'm going to change the front shocks for air shocks but that's just me. All in all it's a good bike for mt bike terrain and off road. I pretty much only use the motor in peddle assist going up hill and a great many hills I struggled with are now easier and I still get a work out. It takes a little to get use to how much peddle you need for the motor speed but a couple times out you'll get it. I didn't get the full suspension Eahora because I like hard tails. I couldn't find any reviews on what I was looking for that's why I'm writing this one for someone else looking for a good E mt bike at a cost you can afford.

I'm 76 years old and only a few pounds overweight, but I want to shed a bit of weight and get in better cardiovascular shape . I felt an eBike would be the way to go. It took a while, I researched dozens of bikes including some start ups on Indigogo. I had some specific things I was looking for with price being a major consideration. When I came across the Eahora, the price seemed almost too good, but the reviews said otherwise. Another thing that attracted me to the bike is the fact is had only 7 gears and 3 levels of pedal assist. For me this was PERFECT, because 99% of the riding I will be doing is on the Rockingham Recreational Trail. It is a 25 mile trail made from an abandoned branch of the B&M railroad. It's flat and straight.

I was anxious to put this bike together. I received the bike and everything went well. Thankfully there was no damage and the bike looked amazing. The battery was not fully charged, but I left it to charge for a few hours and put it on the bike. I have to say the initial launch from 0 was amazing. I reached 30mph using pedal assist. Now I just need a helmet, elbow/knee pads, and safety glasses to safely ride this bike!. So far I'm excited and I will be putting the bike to the test.

Must changes: 1. short stem like 60mm 2. replace cassette with 14-36 These 2 changes will adapt the bike to be able to climb 25% grade hills and steer like a much lighter bike.

The other parts on the bike are fairly lightweight, like seat, pedals, seatpost so you don't need to replace them right away. Spray some silicone teflon lube on the stanchions to prevent stiction. The bike is so fun to ride. You can use epower to keep you moving during those slow times and super steep sections. The 14-36 cassette is totally necessary because the ebike weight is so high. You can pedal at 3-5mph at 60 cycles on some of the steepest grades. Before that, the bike will feel heavy and you will give up too early.

Even if you had a full titanium bike, it won't assist you when you are tired. Even if you had a lightweight gravel bike, it won't bring you home. Even if you had a full suspension, you could not ride up a sustained 25% grade.

This bike makes all that possible. You'll still put in effort, but you will double your distance.

Love love love this ebike. We bought the XC-100 Plus and the only comment I have is that I cannot find the correct link to the color display manual. The link to the color display manual on the XC-100 site does not link to the display that came with our bike. If anybody has it please post thanks!
