Fixie
Ideal to move from a point A to a point B, during a withdrawal of licence and this without (too) breaking its piggy bank.
Note that you still have to do the least amount of climbing, even with the electric assistance, since it is a fixed gear.This review was created for a different variant: Backspin Zehus (52 cm)
Cool e-bike with limitations
I bought this FIXIE Inc. with Zehus Halos drive.
For riding around the village, like to the swimming pool, train station or shopping with a backpack, and at a price under 1000, it's OK.
For a better comfort I mounted a new stem and new ergonomic rubber grips.
The recuperation works well, but the rider has to remember to pedal a little backwards himself as recuperation. Nevertheless, on a tour of 43 km, the energy in the battery is running low. If the energy drops to 12%, pedalling becomes more difficult and at 5% it becomes very difficult to pedal uphill, if there is still a little to go, it is impossible to pedal....this is the big disadvantage...the drive cannot be decoupled and the bike, just cannot be used as normal.
On the Zehus website there is a remote controller as an accessory, instead of fiddling around with the smartphone (app control) on the bike. I will ask Digitec-Galaxus whether they will also include this remote controller in their range in the future.Pro
- Cool simple e-bike

Contra
- When there is almost no energy, kicking is harder.
- The drive cannot be decoupled and the bicycle cannot be used as normal.
- with one battery charge, touring over 40 km not suitable

chic but not robust as hoped
the bike looks cool, the electric motor helps well at full speed. that means you can get up hills without gears. although significantly slower.
the quality is not what i expected. both bikes had slight eights which got worse. pedal/crank is already defective after 400km. pedals are also yawing. bike axle was not tightened enough at the factory so the bike did not run parallel.
had hoped for no bullshit & rocksolid but got a caprize.Pro
- chic
- fast
Contra
- quality
- screws not well tightened at the factory
