So it’s always encouraging to see new speed pedelecs come on the market and the French brand Moustache have just announced the Friday 27FS Speed with a dual battery option. One day while riding a local trail, I took a wrong turn and found myself on a black diamond trail with some huge drop-offs. My front suspension forks took the brunt of the punishment and consequently locked up. For the next couple of years, I continued to ride that bike with the broken forks because standard MTB trails—the greens and blues—don’t require high-end shocks (or apparently any shocks at all). The initial line of Panasonic-equipped e-bikes will include two Van Dessel models – the full-suspension Captain Shred e-mountain bike, with a retail price of up to $8,499, and the hardtail e-gravel bike, which will retail for up to $6,499.

Spec is solid as you would expect from a manufacturer with a reputation for durable and high quality manufacture;  Bosch Performance Line motor, 400Wh or 500 Wh battery, hydraulic disc brakes and a low-maintenance kent electric bike belt drive. Everything was going great until I encountered a 11%, 6-degree incline. Even while pedaling and in the highest level of assist, the bike barely had enough torque to push me up the hill.

Somehow, we made it the whole 16 miles without a flat and with our brains intact. Aftersurfing the net and reading all the reviews the Freego brand kept coming out on top of many “best sellers” and “best buys”,Freego have several bikes in their range to suit everyone’s need and budget. I found one such supplier ,ukelectricbike.co.uk and gave them a call, the chap I spoke to , Marcus, could not have been more helpful. From giving me a good price to loaning me a e-bike to delivering to my doorstep….and even a follow up service two months after delivery. I run a business myself and admire good salesmanship , coupled with great backup service and advice, Marcus is defiantly on too a winner. If they can swing it, I 100% recommend grabbing a second battery.

At one point, I smelled burning plastic when it hit me that the smell came from the motor, which was burning hot from overuse. Not wanting to give up kent electric bike my precious gym time, I bought two electric pedal-assist bikes. I chose the Kent Electric Mountain Bike 27.5” from Walmart for a couple of reasons.
