My first post here so I hope I can make some of you in the market for a new Ebike happy.

I was able to pick up a NIB Fuell 1-E for $1495 from Shock Power Sports out of Florida.

I really wanted a Riese and Muller or a higher end Zen. Although it is my first bike in 30 years, I knew I wanted a belt drive and hub based drivetrain. The has the enviolo hub and the others have a shimano hub. I would have prefferd a more common motor but for the price and due to the fact every dealer I spoke to who sells Fuell brand bikes had all raved about them and said parts are not an issue. I found the Fuell checked a lot of boxes and then with the deal below I couldn't say no.

I stumbled on the first link while researching bikes and then saw the normalizied price on the new webpage, I was excited as it was a great price and then when I saw the regular price on the new site I kept looking around. After a few days of being mad I missed the $2099 deal, I thought I would call to see if there was any chance they might have another sale soon and to my shock I was told that they are $1495 now. I opted for the usually more expensive E version at that price. The shipping is not free as my summary suggests though, I wish it were as easy shipping it up to Canada as the purchasewas . The shipping is more of a project than actually deciding on a bike. Just want to be clear the shipping issue is due to my location and trying to arrange it myself and has nothing to do with the service from Shock Powersports. Mine did ship today and Aaron and his staff where great to deal with, also more than helpful to coordinate the shipping I setup as well. If anyone grabs one let me know how it is , mine is still a few week away.

do ya have any friends or relatives on the US Side? Have them ride over then walk back?

Can you come over and pick it up thyen pay Duty on the Canada side?

Welcome to the forums, by the way! :cool:
 
The -1e version has surprisingly a high torque number (100nm) for a 500 watt motor. This figure was probably measured in the lowest ratio in the CVT transmission range. Still, very solid for hill climbing. The Tektro e-350HD with 180 mm disks are a nice feature as well. For those looking for a legal class 3 bike in the USA, it might not be a bad choice.

I would have concerns about parts for the CVT transmission in the future. There is no standardization for these parts yet. The batteries are also very non-standard as well. This will mean having the batteries "rebuilt" as versus replaced a few years down the line. It is clear this is a "closeout price".
 
I got one of these myself, but mine has a Shimano 5, which is smooth and much better shifting than a cassett,yet I need a higher ratio, so I'm thinking an Alfine 11, Enviolo or 3x3.
I wish you were closer, I'd love to ride your Enviolo and see if that will handle my issues. It feels like I need 1 higher and 1 lower gear. Otherwise, this is a great bike at an unbeatable price.

Here it the midst of high inflation there some very good ebikes going very cheap. If you don't have one, there
couldn't a better time than right now! Over production & a clogged supply chain is making for super bargains
while too many companies have jumped in the market desperate to unload inventory. I still always pedal, but
my knees are starting to go at 75, & I have had a lot of serious injuries over the years. I am so tempted
to get an ebike on steroids like the Wired Freedom even if the bike I have is great. I have replacement parts
for everything. But I crave to travel far enough fast enough to tour somewhere I've not been already.

I am not sure if you saw the news:

We do have access to some of their supply chain (battery, motor, and charger). Let us know if we can be of help to the community.
 
Yes this discussion is quite interesting about e-bike deals going on right now. It seems to be that there are still 23 and 24 models of e-bikes in dealerships, there appears to be a gluttony of the post pandemic. I think that's why we're seeing a lot of these companies falling off because they can't sell enough bikes to offset their inventories. Or it is just lack of interest and there are just too many e-bikes out there. It's very confusing.
 
It's good to do some research. I bought mine for two reasons, A) At 75, I've discovered fat tires are more comfortable
than hard tails with skinny tires. B) I already had 4 perfectly good batrees that fit it worth more than the bike. For $1k was
perfect entry level bike, cool free accessories, & a basic platform I was well acquainted with. I figure it's good for
7000 mi. According to a AAA study the average cost of owning & operating an automobile $12,182 per year. Food for thought.
Alzo, I bought perfectly terrifying, electric muscle bike for $2k. The $1k was for practice for the $2k. they both have the
same dinky grips perfect for the little Vietnamese lady who stitched them. It's very easy with my big mitts to hit or miss
the throttle unintended. Am hoping to adapt to thumb throttle; I prefer to make my own foam grips.
Okay, that's more than 2
 
@PistNBroke, how about an update?

Did you get the bike? Did it fulfill your dreams?

@Ravi Kempaiah That was a classy move you made there, trying to help our man secure parts if needed.
It met my expectations & more for the price. KBO step-thru, if your curious, using dorado batteries & stuff I already
have parts for it. It's a good entry level bike; I don't expect it to last past 7000 miles. It's more expendable than a
$5k bike you screw up as a novice, just a cheap daily drive that might last 7k mi., if taken care of.:cool:

I have a Fuell 1S, looking for a new display and charger for the display. Display not working, won't turn on, batteries fully charged. Any ideas?
