https://electricbikereview.com/igo-electric/core-elite-ii/ The iGO Electric Core Elite II is an approachable step-thru commuter with stiff durable frame, great weight distribution, sturdy front and rear racks, nice integrated lights, comfortable and flexible geometry with tool-free adjustable angle stem, an entry-level suspension fork, and basic semi-ergonomic grips. Great attention to detail with all hardware accents in black (spokes, hubs, racks, handlebar etc.), integrated cables, and water resistant threaded connectors. The Shengy hub motor is zippy thanks to a 48 volt battery and 22 amp controller combo. The controller is separate from the battery, keeping cells cooler and making replacement packs a lot less expensive. Feature-complete setup here with decent fenders, chain cover, 25kg (55lb) rated rack with dedicated pannier hangers, great integrated lights, and premium Schwalbe tires that are puncture resistant and reflective, great kickstand choice and placement as well. Only available in one frame size and color, but it looks nice and is approachable and somewhat versatile thanks to the adjustable stem. Reention Kirin battery box doesn’t have a USB charging port like the older Dorado box and is a bit longer and bulkier. Mechanical disc brakes aren’t as easy to use or adjustable as hydraulic. iGO is a Canadian ebike company that has been around since 2006. EBR collected a service fee to make this review possible.
