How many Roll-Road Emma 3 owners?

[danpenn]

Let's see a show of hands on who owns one of the new Roll-Road Emma 3's. And the Emma 2's. Maybe we can get a Roll-Road listing in the Electric Bike Brands section of this forum.
Here's mine.

Send a msg to @Anton to inquire about an Roll-Road Emma Ebike area

Personally, I've never seen this brand before. So I'm not sure how many others on the forum. You will find that on the bike. It appears to be very generic as there seem to be almost too many brand names of very similar bikes in the market today. I suspect over the coming months we'll see a thinning of this market for one reason or another.

 

[Anton]

There are indeed so many ebike brands popping up @Hoggdoc.

In any case, I've added a Roll Road section here: https://ebikesforum.com/search-forums/roll-road.380/

It will automatically index threads which mention "Roll Road", "Roll-Road" or "Rollroad" in the title about 10mins after posting the thread.

 

[danpenn]

Thanks, Anton.

I own 3 Emma's. Two 2.0's and one 3.0. can't say enough good things. Just wish it had a bigger controller to get more out of the motors but built like a tank!

I researched for weeks before I made my decision to purchase the EMMA 3.0 ebike. Many bikes had good features but this one put them all together into one great ride!
• 2 - 52V 20AH batteries
• Large soft padded seat
• 4 piston hydraulic brakes
• Great digital display
• CST Scout tires for on/off road
• Torque sensor in crank
• 1500W BAFANG SUTTO motor
• Front and rear suspension
• Front and rear lights with turn signals
• NFC unlock
• Lots of accessories!
I couldn’t find anything else with all these features at any price and the price I paid is very reasonable!

Be careful, these do not meet legal US eBike limits:

• Motor is capable of at least 1500 W (eBikes are limited to 750 W max)
• Top motor speed is 35+ mph. (eBikes are limited to 28 mph assist)

In some places, it will be a problem. If your local enforcement is lax and you're not riding like a jerk, it'll be OK, but in hot button areas like college campuses beachfront boardwalks, etc.

If it has a VIN, you can register it as a moped, but even there, there are speed limits. (30 mph is a common one)
Without a VIN, it is in a no-man's land: can't be registered as a moped because no VIN, and exceeds eBike limits, which means it can only legally be used offroad on private property.

 

[Smaug]

It does appear to be thoughtfully spec'd though!

• Torque sensor (who cares, on an eMoped that won't realistically be pedaled much?)
• Remote reservoirs for rear shocks. Maybe the rear shocks are actually effective? (unlike on my old Juiced HyperScrambler 2)
• Looks like decent pedals (but not for barefoot!)
• CST Scout tires are a reasonable choice. Big wide lug surfaces will be good on road and will be OK on gravel when deflated a bit. MUCH better than the silly, noisy, aggressive knobbies. (let's not pretend these are proper dirtbikes, eh?)
• Decent coverage fenders

Only complaint: large chainring means no 5 mph super-low gear, with which to limp home when/if batteries run dry. There's no point in pedaling along at > 20 mph; the user is not contributing significant energy at these speeds.

I’m awaiting shipment of my new Emma 3.0 later this week. Looking forward to all the features this bike has to offer.

 

[danpenn]

Any idea how to tighten the first 2 screws in the front.

I had the same problem when I changed to the accessory thinner/flatter seat. Pull the under the seat battery out. Now install a couple of the middle and rear nuts on loosely so the seat can be wiggled around a little until you can get a straight shot at the front bolts with the nut in a socket wrench on an extension. After one or both front nuts are tightened, you can install the middle and rear nuts.
And Bob's your uncle!

I'd like to rise the handlebar 1-2inches, is there a riser fit for it? Making it more upright

I’m looking for the same. I needed the bring the handlebars a little closer and lost some height.

I agree with you that pedaling home with the gearing as high as it is will be a chore, so I looked into adding a cassette full of sprockets, but no luck. The hub is constructed without the possibility of changing the rear sprocket. Roll Road doesn't expect you to run out of battery with the two batteries they provided.

Is the seat height adjustable? Thx.

 

[danpenn]

No, the seat height is not adjustable.
The accessory seat that Roll Rod sells is about 2 inches lower.

Just got mine last month. I really enjoy riding it. I have two other ebikes, but this one gets most all my riding time. I think it’s the nimbleness and the torque sensor that distinguishes it between the others.

[HumanPerson]

New one here, say hi. I also need a handlebar riser, when I twist and pull the handlebar near, loss some height especially when I sit back on the seat. View attachment 15709

Welcome to the forums!

Me too. I have Radpower bikes, but it's not so comfortable as the full suspension Emma 3.0. Fun ride everyday
