https://electricbikereview.com/momentum/voya-e-plus-1/ The Momentum Voya E+ 1 Review is an efficient, light weight, road style electric bike with drop bars, and Class 1 performance. The all-aluminum frame and fork include mounting points for a front rack, rear rack, two bottle cages, and fenders! It’s available in three frame sizes and two colors. Additional spacing at the fork and stays can accommodate higher volume treaded tires. Efficient 250 watt planetary geared hub motor delivers up to 25nm of torque. The motor controller measures pedal cadence, pedal torque, rear wheel speed, and motor output to provide a natural responsive feel. The bike is fun to pedal even when it’s unpowered, and the 11-speed Shimano GRX gravel grinder drivetrain offers many comfortable cadence options. The battery pack is completely hidden inside the downtube, and not meant to be removed without tools. It offers 250 watt hours of capacity, and can power an optional headlight that Momentum sells. Compact fast charger offers 4 amps for quick refills, and only weighs 1.7lbs. The bike includes a two year warranty, and is sold through many dealers with good support. Ebike rated tires offer puncture protection and reflectivity for enhanced safety. Shimano GRX hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors stop well and stay cleaner than rim brakes. No kickstand is included, the pedals are kind of basic, and the LED control panel provides very limited readouts. Optional remote button pad makes changing assist levels easier. Bluetooth smartphone app for iOS and Android allows for trip planning, display brightness, Strava integration, and more.
