Our EG Milan Review: The EG
Milan is a top-of-the-line electric mountain bike loaded with features. One
of the most flexible bikes in our lineup, it includes a powerful 350W hub motor,
36V Li-Ion battery, 3-setting pedal-assist, thumb throttle, 21-speeds, disc brakes,
fenders and more. Not only is it flexible, rugged and tough, but it's also very
comfortable with an adjustable high-rise stem, upright seating and Gila front
suspension.
Powered by a long-lasting 36V/10AH Li-Ion
battery mounted on the rear rack,
the EG Milan is fun and easy to ride. Compared
to a 24V setup, it's slightly heavy due
to the larger 36V battery (11lbs - 58lbs
total), but it also provides more torque
and higher top speeds. Securely lock the
battery in place, or quickly remove it for
storage or charging. Rated at up to 35 miles
per charge in the "Low" PAS setting,
the EG Milan is capable of excellent range
(under ideal conditions).
15-25 miles is about average for riders
who operate in "Medium" pedal-assist,
and with no pedaling (or "High"
PAS), 10-15 miles can be expected.
With a powerful 350W geared hub motor built
into the rear wheel, the EG Milan is loaded
with torque and takeoff ability. Great for
hills, pulling loads or carrying heavier
riders, use the thumb throttle to avoid
pedaling altogether or choose from three
pedal assist settings on the lighted handlebar
control (Low | Medium | High). The low PAS
setting provides the least amount of power
and most range, but is still quite noticeable
when you ride. In medium mode, the power
is more apparent and the motor does most
of the work while you pedal. And in high,
the bike effortlessly takes off when you
turn the crank. Unlike some PAS systems,
the 21-speed gearing allows you to keep
up with the motor even in the highest PAS
setting, making it a very fast and easy
to pedal along.
* ADDED IN 2011: Front and rear disc
brakes. Updated electronics allow for separate
throttle and pedal-assist operation (rather
than dual operation).
Opinions
& Recommendations:
The EG Milan is loaded with features and
is one of our best selling electric bike
models. It has all the qualities customers
are looking for: lots of power, Li-Ion battery,
21-speeds and various modes of operation
(throttle or PAS). Slightly more upright
than a "true" mountain bike, it's
adjustable high-rise handlebars and low
center bar make the Milan very comfortable
and the lightly treaded all-terrain tires
are great in on-road or off-road conditions.
We proudly recommend the EG Milan to all
our customers because of it's power, quality
and flexibility!
