I love how you push bikes to test their capabilities and am excited for the possible upgrades. This is now a serious contender for me as a commuter that would alsoballow me to hit a couple of fun trails and cut down my commute. Without the exorbitant cost of a true emtb.
Finally the *right* combination of features breaks the 3k USD list price.
If they put this combo in the scrambler/cafe style of frame it would eat up the rest of the class in a few years.
can't wait for the bar/stem swap ! I dig the bike, should be a great gravel grinder, i'm curious to see the range of it on a classical fast rolling gravel ride, on the first assist setting too !
No way those tires came on the bike! Looks great with them on tho
Amazing how black fork stanchions go such a long way towards making a bike "look the part" these days. The Rekon Race tires are also a surprisingly nice spec. It's not an e-mtb at the end of the day but still looks kinda fun on dirt!
I’m gonna need a hand clap and a “friends” greeting to start the videos please
Got my shirt today, and it's great quality! Thank you!
Worth every penny for the Norton treats!
Enjoyed the unconventional review!
Thanks for the shout out! Looking forward to the Norton shirt :) Now just need to save up for my own Fun Norton MTB!
I had a Raleigh bike with a brose mid drive that needed a new chainring, you needed a special tool to replace it, Raleigh discontinued the bike and I could not find it anywhere and my local bike shop would not touch it... lesson learned, do your research before you buy
Thank you for this!
Put a 130mm RS yari, stem, bars and a dropper post on it and the bike will kick some ass 😀
WHEW! Thankfully that thing had a light so you could see where you were going. XD
You feel like there was enough power out of that 250 watt motor? Didn’t seem like you had any trouble climbing those trails.
Good dogs get good treats 😁
Great amazing test video!
Was it easy removing the rear rack/Fender?
What did you do with the tail light...re-route...or?
Cheers
Maybe it's just the pov from that stem and bar set-up but the trails looked delightfully sketchy.
GREAT review! Can't wait for mods and comments about the longevity of the Enviola hub. Also while i get your comments on the hub, "shifting" i think should make more of a difference than you describe. Is it the interplay between hub and motor?
Ok Im sold on this Bike, I thought for sure you would break something on the off road trails but it stayed in one piece. Great Review 😁
It’s a great working machine!
If you ever got your hands on the new Aventon Ramblas I'd loved to hear your thoughts on this vs that for a beginner mountain biker who also wants something that can handle a commute
I can't help but wonder if you fixed geared the rear cog & had a freewheeling chainring could you add Regen Breaking to a middrive E-bike? IE the pedals being stationary with the middrive motor/generator spinning. My hubmotor E-cargo has regen & it's a massive range extender if you like to pedal in lower power setting plus leave enough slack in break cables to easily engage regen before the pads hit the rotor.
The Enviolo is not made for enduring high torque life. The Brose unit still has the belt inside, what might pose a weak link. Nice Commuter/Gravel bike overall.
I’m looking at this or the trek powerfly 4 gen 4. What do you recommend, I’m looking for a bike that can rip around town but if I wanted to take it to some flowly tracks I could also do that. I don’t really mountain bike, so having no chain and gears to upkeep on the prodigy is a big plus
Thanks for this, I’m currently looking into buying one. Question: How tall are you? Frame/Reach not too small/short? Still waiting for your V2 upgrade video ;)
can you describe how you were able to take off the rear fender and wires? i want to take mine off for the summer. Thanks!
Did you try pumping up the front fork to see if that helped?
Needs some Panaracer Driver Pros on there.
It often rains where I live, mine needs fenders.
Internal or external routing on dropper post when upgrading? Any issue with Brose display and lever placement being in the same location?
Hahahaha… cool!
Sadly "Class 3" makes is unable to respectfully ride in locations that are Class 1 only. More MTB trail locations are starting to only allow Class 1(or no eMTB at all) to head off the flood of eMoto like eBikes. Justifiable or not, that's not really up for debate, fact is those are the new rules. To respect current land management's rules, I need to pass on an otherwise great value hardtail like the Prodigy v2. Maybe we'll get lucky and Ride1Up will make a true Class 1 eMTB with a better fork, wider bars, and maybe a dropper?
In disguise? It's not fooling anyone. Look at the Zehus backspin. All in the rear wheel. That might fool some
57 pounds?! good lord. I've looked at these on their website before but it has never really landed that they are that heavy.
That's not that heavy for an ebike
Yeah, take the rack and fenders off and it's a lot lighter
LOL that is def on the light side for ebikes. You shud get a regular bike if you need something lighter.
@@reallifescience2069 That adds up to about a 1/2 pound. You have issues if u think thats "alot lighter". wow...
Don't support these direct to consumer brands. Go to a local shop (better yet a local ebike shop if you're really lucky) and buy from them. Also the brose motor is notorious for the internal belt failing within a few years max.
WHY is black & other dark colors so prevalent in bike options? I would never choose a dark colored bike. Yet very few companies offer bright colors. Visibility is a significant factor in bike safety. Same for gear. It is difficult to find bike bags which are NOT black.
This photo show no details because of the DULL black color. It would grab the eye in green,yellow,orange etc..
Why would a person model such a DULL photo?? It looks horrible. It is a safety hazard.
Incorrect, a dark frame def makes zero difference in daylight or nightime visibility. Your clothing is a way bigger factor than a 1" tube color. If your that paranoid, wear a traffic vest with Christmas lights blinking on it 24/7
Tiny battery, no throttle. Cheap crappy fork. Wow, I’ve never seen a more useless ebike.
No throttle is better anyway, most of u fools will abuse it and burn out the motor
