Electra Townie Go! Video Review
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
https://electricbikereview.com/electra/townie-go/ The best Electra Townie Go! design I've tested to date, better weight distribution, increased efficiency and greater power thanks to the Bosch Performance Cruise drive system. Available in six different colors with matching aluminum fenders, chain guard, rims and carry rack, integrated LED lights front and rear, comfortable leather saddle with matching stitched grips. Available in two frame styles, high-step and step-thru, but only one size for each, no bottle cage mounting points but the rear rack is completely open and uses standard sized tubing for full compatibility clip-on panniers. Weaker roller style "band activated" brakes require more strength to use and seem to stop the bike slower, this is a heavier electric bike at ~58 lbs and neither wheel has quick release.

Drum brakes? Really?? Wonder if they can be changed out to a 21st century option....

Thanks for all your reviews. Your channel is a great source of info. I appreciate it. I'm in search of a nice cruiser/comfortable style electric bike.

I thought it would be convenient to own a cafe lock with the accessory cable for making quick stops at places like convenience stores, but they are very hard to find in the USA. The locks security rating is very low, but a very convenient lock to use. The more common name is frame lock, and their made by a company called AXA. I think the popular model is AXA Defender. They make accessory cables and chains that plug into the lock. Very popular in Europe but hard to find in the USA. It wouldn't surprise me if the AXA company phased them out, because they are so easily defeated, but very convenient to use for quick stops when the bicycle never leaves your line of site.

This almost edges out an eRad conversion of a regular Townie, for me, now, but no throttle, a weaker motor, questionable brake choice, no suspension, no walk mode, and a battery pack and electronics I'm not as confident in since they're less transparent than eRad about their supply chain plus eRad can convert one of the Townie balloon tire models still keep this from winning out, even despite having a slick integrated, removable display and lighting system with the nifty break-out control box on the handle (the battery-pack's carry handle is also nice).
I only have eyes for mid-drives, at this point, though, for sure. Thank goodness Townie's no longer exclusively under Electra's quixotic direction, though I'd be disappointed if the Flat Foot design remains Electra exclusive, and I hope to see balloon -style models... -

hey man is there a chance you doing e bike greyp review please

if there was one bike that had the potential to be an awesome cruiser it's the townie.. there's only two things I wish they'd do to this frame and that's shorten the head tube to allow for some other fork options ( it'd look beautiful with a monark springer in there ), and open up the rear of the frame for some wider rim sizes.. if they ever put these out with a fat rear ( 80 or 100mm ) I'd be down for one asap..

OMG!!! I so want this bike. Arrghhh!!!

bingo

I really like the style of the guys bike. I wish it had a really good hub motor instead of the center drive. I am not sold on the center drives yet. I know they have more torque, and can take advantage of the gears, but I really think that maintenance and drivetrain longevity are going to be a problem with center drive and regular bike components. I know I have mentioned this before, I am wondering if you have seen this in practice since you deal with so many of these bikes.

Your audio is just superb, pristine and clear even outdoors, what is your setup? Anyway, I'd love to try those Bosch systems, nice bike btw.
