Description
OK, I think I’ve found my new favorite commuter/trekker/daily rider – the Lacuba EVO Lite from BULLS. This bike has the muscle of a mtn. bike, the endurance of a long distance rider, and the elegance and simplicity of an internal gearing/belt drive system. The EVO Lite is as close to a fully automatic ebike as I’ve ever experienced.
The component package on this bike is top shelf. The new Brose Mag S mid drive motor delivers a rousing 90nm of torque while also providing the quietest performance and least internal resistance of all the big name mid drive systems. They continue to keep one step ahead of Bosch, Shimano, and Yamaha in my opinion. Combining all that power with a Gates Carbon belt driven Shimano Nexus internal 5-speed rear hub is sheer artistry. The Lacuba EVO Lite includes Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, a Suntour air suspension front fork, and all the expected additional accoutrements of a well-appointed trekking bike.
My initial concern about having only 5 gears disappeared on my first test ride. This bike is so smooth, quiet, and strong that any more gears would almost seem superfluous. I’m confident that this ebike will deliver the goods under virtually any on-road situations. If you want a high quality, high performing ebike that combines ample strength with the ease and maintenance-free advantages of an internal geared hub and belt drive system, the BULLS Lacuba EVO Lite could most definitely be the bike for you.
