Anyone out there got or tried the Nicolai eboxx E14

I'm interested as well, anyone go for it? Belt drive + hub > Der + chain. Just need the price to drop by 50%.

My concern is the weight - must be sky high with the spec on it

I think it's 25kg, so pretty normal for an Ebike, as most are in the range of 23-28kg depending on size?

Really? If they have got it to that weight that's impressive with the Bosch and the Rohloff

I think if you used an external battery and a shimano motor + alfine 11 hub, you could get the weight down to 23kg or so, if any manufacturers are listening.

I don't think an Alfine would be up to the job off road, the Rohloff is a proper bit of kit.

On a side note my father in law has a Bergamont city/hybrid Bike, which has a Bosch motor with an Alfine DI2 hub - it is by far and away the slickest best working Ebike drive train I have used. The Bosch electronics have the ability to interface with the DI2, so the motor know when you are changing gear, resulting in almost unnoticeable gear changes.
