- The 2018 Moustache Samedi 27 XROAD 5 is a crossover touring electric bike that's capable and comfortable on city streets as well as packed dirt trails thanks to all-terrain tires, a sturdy spring suspension fork with 80 mm travel, and suspension seat post. Both wheels offer quick release for easy maintenance on-the-go, powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes stop quickly and have adjustable levers, reinforced tubular alloy fenders are quiet and pair with the a plastic chain cover to keep you dry and clean. Purpose-built frame is available in three sizes, internally routed cables are hidden and protected, tightly integrated Bosch motor maximizes ground clearance and blends in visually, battery is sunk into the downtube and concealed by a plastic shield. Narrower swept-back bars provide an upright body position for comfort while allowing you to spot traffic and fit through tight doorways and gates, two sets of bottle cage bosses, sturdy rear rack with wide pannier blockers.

This rig may be my favorite so far. Definitely sets the bar quite high.
These are nice bikes, especially for the price. Good solid fenders, nice suspension and seat suspension also. Nice frame size, the right size tires for commuting and hard wired head light and tail light. If it only had the most important safety feature an e-bike could have, which is a BRAKE light.
Good feedback, I hope more of that tech makes its way over from Europe. Most of the new speed pedelecs I have reviewed do have the brake light "bright" mode, but this one did not
Great review, Court. Nice looking bike, and I really like the swept back handlebars...they look very comfortable!
Thanks! Yeah, I like the blend of sport and comfort on this model, the bars sweep back for comfort but also to make it easier to fit between cars and through doors :)
Excellent detailed review Court as always. I've been really impressed with what I've read about Moustache bikes and how some of their custom finishing touches (hidden power, swept handlebars, mudguards etc)
Just wondering if you are planning to review the Samedi 28.5 at some stage? It's a similar bike but with 700c wheels

I'm considering this or one of the Friday models.
you two work beautifully together!
Thanks! Chris has years of experience and interfaces directly with the leadership teams at many of these brands, it's wonderful to pick his brain about history and mission as well as what customers say and how the bikes hold up over time :)
What happened with Mr. Mark Sparx I did not see it anymore in your videos, you three make a great team indeed! I'm a SONDORS owner.
Court you write great reviews....... and you make it enjoyable watching the video’s.
They do a great job with the look, compared to other brands, Moustache look stealthy, but also great performing. Wished they incorporated the speed pedelec motors instead. Europeans know the ebikes are beneficial in many ways. Happy to see them make several types of ebikes. Bought me a Specialized Turbo Levo by the way & I luv it, I wish they would make a good monitor setup though!
Cool! I had a Levo for a while and really enjoyed it too! Hope it works well for you, thanks for sharing Larry :)
With range the battery indicator isn't that big of a deal to me.
The site & all of your reviews are helpful.
Thanks.
Awesome, glad the resource is helping you! Thanks for sharing your feedback and opinions
Very nice bikes! you have refered to the derailleur clutch as "shadow plus" a couple of times. Just to clarify, the + refers to the clutch, the "shadow" refers to the derailleur being more tucked in under the chainstay.
Thank you! I will keep this in mind, I wish I could go to more hardware bootcamps and stuff so I could know this stuff. I try to pick it up on the go and very much appreciate your corrections and help Kristian
...Very cool looking bikes. I like that stealthy design...
In my opinion a few detail changes would make it a better bike. One, wider rims to make the wheels stronger and make tire mounting easier. Two, bottle cage bosses on the battery cover; it is easier to access a bottle from that position than any other place within the triangle, and you can use longer/higher capacity bottles. Three, the rear light moved to the rear of the rack; a fender mounted light gets broken much more easily.
Great suggestions! I'd also like the rear light to go bright when activating the brakes... but that would require upgraded brake levers and more wiring. As for the battery cover bottle cage bosses, the current plastic shield is very thin to be lightweight and did not feel sturdy enough to mount a bottle to, maybe a redesigned cover could work?
Lotz of features and seems to built to last. Please do more reviews like this, 2 bike comparisons, one to commute with and the other for a little off road. Lucky N.Y. 's Mayor B. didn't see you. How cities are handling E bikes would be topic for a video.
Hi Meno, thanks for the feedback! Chris and I filmed a video about ebikes in NYC a while back and you can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/idZ5-4FZpTc/видео.html and there's another video with a resident of NYC who has been pulled over but was let go here: ruclips.net/video/HTf9nWJHo-I/видео.html
Cool review cool bikes. Great city bikes. High end components. One to remember.
It would be so cool if the LCD display could show you how smoothly you are pedaling (i.e. percentage of ideal "circular" pedal technique vs. mashing each leg in succession).
Excellent review! Greets from the Netherlands.
Great video, very good job ! Thanks from France 👍
Like the swept back handle bars
Well done. Thanks for your insights.
That look is growing on us, one which you would never see in an unassisted mountain bike: suspension with fenders and rack. The unusual look, enhanced by a mountain bike geometry is at the very least curious to look at, and at best, a strong affirmation to "go anywhere commuter bike." But what is with the button down shirt? Any chance of getting any nerdier?
Ha! That's just my uniform... I try not to wear any branded stuff or be affiliated with any companies because my reviews are meant to be objective. I wear short sleeve button shirts because they are comfortable and I look more professional when traveling through airports and driving across state and country borders for these reviews :)
ElectricBikeReview.com And nothing less than a professional response - thank you. No offense, I just like messing with EBR.
For those of us in the Ebike industry, Court is always recognizable at the events. Camera, helmet, and short sleeve button shirts. It's a great trademark! And works for a great guy who helps the industry grow.
LOL! I can picture it now; action cam, helmet, and the collared short sleeve! Thanks Scooteretti, he seems very sincere, fair, and compassionate. Objective, and able to critique in an inoffensive way. Surely, a big asset to the Ebike industry.
Great review.....nice bike....looks worth that price tag
I have noticed people commenting on the bike being overpriced but I feel the aethestics of the bike along with the bosch mid-drive makes it pretty interesting....
Hey amazing Video. Keep Up the great Work
Court great review! lots of good information. this bike remind looks li, e it would make a great adventure bike just because it does most everything a rider could ask of it. could possibly make the perfect "one bike"
Yeah, I completely agree... they kept it comfortable but also capable, quiet, and durable
does it have a throttle at all?
No
22:00 Touches Chris on the shoulder, Chris pulls out a shiv. #brooklynresponse
Friday is spelled Vendredi in French :)
Huh, that's cool! Thanks Marc, do you speak French or are you from there?
Not French, but I have spent a LOT of time there! I actually wanted to start an electric bike/scooter store not far from Cannes. There are a lot more ebikes there (percentage-wise) than there are here in the States. I really appreciate all your great work!
And "samedi" is pronounced like (rhymes with) "bombed-ee".
l m watching your videos in amazing from turkey izmir city l have got 2 e bike one city bike and the other one is mtb names carraro . mostly people dont like the bike in turkey so we have no lot sort e bike mdel our country and products only by carraro ı want to buy bosch motor but no service in here .
Mustache Saturday ???
Right, just spelled differently... like harbour vs. harbor :)
Overpriced
George Balas Yep mine thoughts excactly .you pay 2 or 3x the price for “integrated”
cables,motor&battery..
The looks and built are good.
But for rich commuters there is market and willing to pay topdollar for it
It's cool to see a few Bosch models priced down at the $2,500 price point now, I suspect we will see even more in the $2k range with their updated Active Line motors. Compared to many other similarly specced models, the Samedi 27 XROAD is on par or even a bit below, but I agree that it's still a lot of money :)
What’s the matter with Chris? Unpleasant...
