You'd be surprised how well the Nicolai handles. This is because the weight distribution is much better than on your 20kg bike. The unsprung mass on the rear wheel is significantly less than on other bikes.
The Bike is absolut quiet. The MGU is more noisy in Gear 1-4. Everbody has to test it on their own if its ok or not. Personal for me the advantages of the MGU are bigger than the disadvantage ( Noise in Gear 1-4 ) would i prefer that it would be less noisy in gear 1-4 ? OFC Yes, but it is what...
I like Raw very much too ,and it is absolutely robust . Unfortunately my eboxx is already raw and I just didn't want the new bike to look too much like the old one :)
HI Everyone, here is some information that not everyone may have. On the Nicolai site you can find a tech sheet for each bike as a public Google DOCs document. There is also the one for the Saturn 16 MGU with exploded drawings and torque for all screws. Possibly helpful for one or the other...
New Bike Day. Nicolai Saturn 16 MGU XL Custom Colour, Reverb AXS, 960 battery, Oak Components levers on the MT7 (way too expensive for a few levers but still a really worthwhile upgrade), rest Nicolai Standard. Picked up today at Nicolai Bikes and had a nice handover. New Pinion MGU update is on...
Thats my experience too, when i rode the Nicolai MGU on my Hometrails the Motor/ Shifting Sound is by far more silent than the Sound on every Simplon Rapcon Video on the internet. Wrote those on different Comment Sections of the Video, but normaly no one is interessted in , because they want to...
There is a test in a German e-bike magazine, but it was carried out with the Simplon Kago Carbon Pinion on a flat bike tour with 52 km 110 m. It was a comparison of different motor systems with relatively the same wattage output by the rider. I am attaching a picture of the table, but I don't...
There is no 750 WH Batterie. They have an 720 and an 960 which are in a runnig change . The 720 will be an 800 and the 960 an 1060 ( same size same weight new cells )
@Rob Rides EMTB Purple is the banger and you have the advantage that you probably don't have to see it every day and for a long time (this gives you a little more scope for wild colors). if I were you, I would go for something extreme like the purple.
I opted for Arctic Green Metallic Glossy...
As far as I know, Nicolai builds around 5000 bikes a year across all types of bikes. According to Vincent from Nicolai, demand and interest in the Saturn 16 MGU is generally very high.
Jep , i just send Nicolai an email when they start to deliver with the new Batterys. My Saturn 16 MGU is anounced for KW 37 . I hope i get the new Battery ( orderd Both the 720 and the 960 )
Ne winfos from Eurobike : 960 Batterie is upgraded by FIT to an 1060 Wh battery. They changes the Cells they use . The 1060 has the same weight and same size than the 960 .
