🤔What do you think of the new Kellys Theos F100?
Let us know in the comments below!
Some data would be nice. Distance, elevation, battery left… what’s the point in telling us how good it is without telling us the important stuff?
100% Just clickbait otherwise!
SL ebikes dont make sense if you can have 20kg fullfat with huge battery like this. But the price is steep.
The price is steep but sl bikes are not cheaper.
Well. Tbh for top ebike It's not so off
I'm half way through my second Kelly's EMTB vlog and I already think I'm going to get one, the 4K one
All this talk about range and not a single figure given.
Keep your eyes peeled, big ride incoming to see what I can get out of it 😉
Love Kellys bikes
That's the trouble with using composites and battery tech to reduce weight, its bloody expensive. I'd rather have a drag free full fat motor for the occasions of riding over the limiter, weight is subjective in an emtb and to ex moto riders, nothing to be concerned with.
I’d be interested to see how far you can get on a single charge.
My F90 with their 725wh battery can do 55 miles when used enthusiastically
@@Jamie-c4y Not nearly enough for me. I need over double that without a range extender for my next upgrade.
To be fair the range is good
Any chance we could get Owen to do a epic ride taken in gravel, towpath, double track and single track on the Kelly's Theos R30 aluminium as this is the most affordable to most of us normal minions. And answer some of the fundamental information we all like to know when considering buying an E bike. What the bike is like to pedal above the 25kmph, how far you can get on one 8.25 wh battery, and what modes he used predominantly using ecco or trail. Thanks 👍🏻
Try doing the west highland way, that'll test range👍🤘
Great shout, done it on a normal bike but an Eeb 🤔 the hike-a-bike around the loch though would be a killer
Oh my God, not another 12,999.00 EUR eBike, are you kidding me? Some bike manufacturers seem to have lost their grip on reality. You have to be crazy to spend so much money on technology that will be outdated in a year's time.
Its 10999
You can say this about everything. Why bother putting such comment.
Agree. Glad there are incremental improvements in energy density, but I’m still loving my 2019 alloy levo! in general, the battery & motor tech isn’t different on $6k bikes
@@JensLurman Wrong! There is a difference between an expensive bike and an economical bike. Even an expensive bike can be economical and sensible - this bike is just expensive, so this video is pure advertising for an overpriced bike pretending to be a review - it doesn't look good on GCN. Meanwhile that happens too often on GCN.
@@Zwiesel66absolut right. Value for money is not right. On top I doubt that there is an adequate resell value
Not to bag on it to hard but ..... range extender aren't the answer there almost a bodge. Calm down I said almost🙂. The future hold better solutions but, may not be backwards compatible.
Yeap, as always.... "At that price they can keep it!"
Prices of these top tech bikes are insane. However still better then simple roadbike
Do people actually buy bikes at this price, I brought the Orbea rise H30 and that was 4k which was hard to justify
And yea it’s outdated the next day, but will say it’s been a great bike .
Its too bad you can't get these in XL. Id definitely be interested but being 6'6 a large just won't work for me.
I have F90 and its best bike ever
Wow great. F90 looks superb! Wish I have it also one day
Mine snapped
But when it’s running it’s a fantastic bike to ride
@@frankmatibs8076 I've read from someone they had problem with first batches and took them few months to implement the changes
what avarege elevation were you able to achieve with this battery/motor?
How much?
looked it up £11,499.00 in the UK
Ehy bycicles company takes so much to update a bike model like santacruz ebike & yeti, i want to change my ebike every year, but i had to do it by differents brands turbo levo then santacruz bullit then a yeti 160e, but yeti is with the same bike model like 5 years ago
That bike has not Auto Shift but Free Shift. Completely differrent things
Ive got a full xtr Santacruz Superlight from 2002 in mint condition. I just put a cyc photon on it and i have 250-750w 110nm that weighs 20kgs. Proper bike ❤😊
I’m sorry but when emtb brands just keep talking about weight it makes me wonder what gimmicks they pulled to get the numbers and how average the rest of the bike must be. Because the dark secret only people who actually ride emtbs know is this: 5-10 lbs doesn’t matter when you have a full power motor. What is more important is geo, linkage and shock tuning, and having heavy duty enough components to handle the extra speed and weight and gnarliness that bike is gonna get fed. Give me a bike that weighs a few extra pounds but has 220s, a 38 fork, 35 rims and heavy duty casing tires, and a well designed linkage with unique to that bike shock tuning over something that happens to weigh a few pounds less any day.
The range of Theos bikes including the F100 all use a variation of Kellys Think Link.
A Virtual Pivot style linkage which is then adapted specifically for e-bikes to allow supple yet well supported suspension action.
The F100 is definitely designed as a trail bike which is why it’s fitted with the Schwalbe Nobby Nic 2.4/2.8 setup opposed to the Eddy Current on the F70/F90 & the 825wh battery certainly isn’t cutting corners to get the weight down - that’s the point of this bike. It has everything you need
@@Jamie-c4y that’s great. Your comment was better than this video
Looks like a great bike, but for me every bike is an eMTB as long as it has E and you ride it in the mountains. And my bike probably hates me.
Any one know what the battery cells used are called ?
They’re BMZ Batteries custom made for Kellys
@@Jamie-c4y No info on which cells they use
That information isn’t publicly available sadly but the Kellys 825Wh battery weighs less than the Bosch 750Wh
Yes, run it until dead 3 times in Eco, trail & Boost.
I bet I can carry you on my back further than that mtn ebike
Yes definitely love those range test videos 👌
Brilliantly shot and edited chaps, seriously inspirational work. Could you share the locations of the shoot or routes, looks a fantastic route which us somerset lads we would ride.
He's on The Black Mountain riding the bridleway that runs at 10 o'clock from Glyntawe. Don't confuse the area with The Black Mountains by Hay on Wye (note the 'S', mountain, not mountains) They do like to keep there locations secret but I've ridden most of their Welsh ones 👍
sweet bike, but for me water bottle cage on frame is a must, I like to ride with no backpacks
Bottle cage mount is in top tube/seat tube corner.
Full turbo. Go!
💪
👍
Extender is a good option when the battery is older and starts to lose capacity, so you do not get stuck on the way home... That is just reality for those who do not get handed over new bikes every few months to make a review. 😅
Except dying batteries will prematurely kill a range extender when used like that. Its cheaper just to have a bigger battery
How much is it ffs? No e-bike on the planet is worth more than six grand and I bet this is double that. Bike for fools.
They clearly have an 80% profit margin on this bike 😂
The issue is that’s the perception and not the reality. Many bike brands operate on a 20% margin. Obviously the big brands make more on run of the mill aluminium bikes
On roadbikes I can imagine. Here? Not a chance. Full carbon ebike full suspention frame. New gen battery with some custom developement. Ep801. Di2 electronic XT. Carbon RaceFace wheelset. Carbon cocpit, even the seatpost is KS carbon version.
I can’t stop dreaming about a Pinion MGU… specifically the Nicolai Saturn 16 XXL❤
Nice infomercial…
Nope 👎 Shimano motor, ugly, not a popular brand so hard resell value.
We don't want you to do the reviews.We want steave
That bike looked way too small for the presenter. Not only in the reach but also the seat height while peddling.
Thats the Top of the Range model...what do the lower spec versions weigh eh !! Not Light at all.....Ha !!
Depending on the model, my F90 is 22kg, R50 alloy bikes 24-25kg depending on size
in my experience, EMTB technology is still so new that it's best to have local support, i.e. buy from a local dealer who are part of a network backed up by a national importer/distributor. It looks like Kellys are some way off achieving that in the UK - it seems there is only one dealer, who is also the importer.
I did som googling. It aeema they are sold in 4 places. If its not farnaeay then its ok. Its shimano system and the batery seems same platform as on other Kellys emtbs so they should be well equipped for the diagnostic, soft uodatong and all that
Kellys operates a dealer direct model throughout Europe. Because of the challenges with currency, shipping and cost, it’s not possible to do that in the UK.
We offer National coverage and support in the UK including in person delivery & have everything you’d need diagnostics and spares wise.
My diy ebike has 888wh battery and only 23kg. Built it four or more years ago for 1300 euro with 120nm of torque. Prices are crazy these days, a decent off-road motorcycle would be cheaper which I can't understand.
Excelent!!!!! What motor, battery, frame, fork, shock, drive train, display, brakes, rims, tires did you use?
I bought the Cube Stereo Race for £3100 with 150 front 140 back with carbon frame and a 750 watt hour battery. Just today I’ve ridden 62 miles and climbed 4,500 feet and still had 4% battery left. What more could you want. 😊😊😊
So..... I like the look of this and headed to Kelly's official web !! What an absolute joke. Only a single UK dealer under the name Balfa or something?? And not able to even access that link. Why review a bike that's not even available to us in the UK FFS
I have a friend that has had two issues with the Kelley’s composite frame.
One cracked seat tube, frame replaced and then less than 6 rides with the new frame snaps the frame above the axle hole on the rear triangle
I had this frame and can confirm. My frame did cracked, but after 3 months waiting for new frame Kellys returned the money. I must say that I ride very hard so for normal riding like in the briliant video like this one it should be ok.
@@TheJubeiam my mate doesn’t ride that hard, and is hoping fora refund
First batch had issues apperently. Friend of mine has F70 bought in january, works great. I bought Alluminium version of this bike but I'm quite envy as this F-series looks rad. Btw it seems this is different material frame then F70/F90.
I thought the Giant Trance X Advanced E+ Elite 1 E-Mountain Bike has the crown for world's lightest 🤔
Me too..... 🤔
It has less than half battery capacity
This is real full fat lightweight ebike. Those 400wh hybrids are compromise not worth taking
The 2nd presentation doesn’t make it less ugly
They should be able to sell 5 or 6 at that price
Yo can you test ROSE ROOT MILLER PLUS 3999 euro Carbon, 85nm,625kw bat. cheapest carbon frame in EU
Agree with prev comment. Utter nonsense, An £11,000 bike that weighs 20kg! Big deal but it not really your ‘everymans’ bike. My 3k Giant e stance weighs only a couple of kilos more. Love your down-to-earth stuff but really dislike these overly priced options. Its a thumbs down from me
