We sent the Eeyo 1s to a few press in the US and Europe a couple of weeks ago to test and here are some of their impressions:
GOGORO EEYO 1S ELECTRIC BIKE REVIEW: UNAPOLOGETIC FUN
Thomas Ricker
- “Smartwheel, a brilliant bit of Gogoro engineering that houses the motor, computer, and electrons required to power the lightweight bicycle.”
- “Gogoro says it spent three years in development, and it shows — the company has certainly learned from its electric scooter operation.”
- “Eeyo is much more natural, making it feel like your muscles are supplying the extra power, not the motor.”
Gogoro's Eeyo 1s is so light you almost forget it's an e-bike
Nick Summers
- “Step on the bike, press on the pedals and boom — the 250W motor will send you flying forward with a satisfying burst of speed.”
- “It’s like a 100-meter sprinter exploding out of the blocks.”
- “The assistance is so impressive that I often felt like a drug-fuelled Lance Armstrong tackling the mountain stages of the Tour de France.”
- “Better yet, the Eeyo 1s is a fantastic hill-climber.”
- “The carbon frame and sporty handlebars make the bike feel agile, too, when you’re navigating tight turns or maneuvering around pedestrians who stepped into the road without looking.”
- “The Eeyo 1s is remarkably light… That special ‘open-frame’ design isn’t just for looks, either. It’s been designed so you can easily slip an arm through and carry the bike over one shoulder.”
Gogoro Eeyo 1s is the lightest carbon fiber e-bike I've tried yet
Joseph Kaminski
- “Gogoro Eeyo 1s is the lightest carbon fiber e-bike I've tried yetAnd it's so clean-looking you can barely tell it's an e-bike -- until you ride it.”
- “The 1s is one of the lightest e-bikes I have ridden so far."
- “I got a chance to ride a prerelease Eeyo 1s for a little more than 30 miles and it's a pure joy. It handles beautifully, runs smoothly and feels solid.”
