Here is a video with yours truly riding the eFlow and going over the features of the bike:

The eFlow is a sporty, urban, e-bike machine!

That’s the battery! The eFlow comes stock with a Samsung lithium ion 36V 10.75 ah battery pack housed in the seat post. An optional upgrade to a 36V 14.5ah is possible later this year.

This is the frame charging port on the eFlow. It takes 4-6 hours to charge the Samsung lithium ion battery.

The charger plugged into the bike charge port. The battery can also be charged off the bike.

Here is what it looks like to remove the battery/seatpost from the eFlow electric bike.

The seatpost battery can be charged off the bike with the included charger adapter. This is handy if you want to store your bike in the garage and keep/charge your battery inside.

The eFlow frame is constructed with hydroformed aluminum tubing.

The eFlow has a 500 watt direct drive TDCM motor that features a freehub body. That means that the eFlow can use a 10 speed cassette (cog set) on the rear wheel. A lot of rear hub e-bikes come with freewheels that only have 7 or 8 cogs.

The eFlow uses the Axle Release quick release system on the rear wheel. Combined with the motor cable quick disconnect, it allows for the quick removal of the rear wheel without tools.

This the motor quick disconnect. Removing the rear wheel is easy with this and the Axle Release quick releases.

The 10 speed SRAM Apex rear derailleur provides crisp and precise shifting.

The FSA Omega cranks on the eFlow.

The eFlow comes equipped with the RST suspension fork to take the edge off of rough roads!

The RST suspension fork spring rate can be adjusted using the preload dial. You can set the spring rate to your weight and how active you want the suspension to be.

Note the internal cable routing……nice way to keep things clean!

View of the eFlow control center! The display is front and center mounted on the stem.

The eFlow display gives you throttle or pedal assist (+throttle boost) options, battery life, current speed, max speed, average speed, trip distance, odometer, time, trip time, total time, and a backlight option.

The half twist grip throttle and SRAM SL700 rear derailleur shifter.

The SRAM SL700 front derailleur shifter.

The Tektro Auriga hydraulic disc brake levers have switches that will turn on the regenerative braking and stop the electrical assist when the brakes levers are engaged.

The Tektro Auriga hydraulic disc brakes provide solid stopping power. This is the front disc brake with a 180mm rotor.

The Tektro Auriga hydraulic rear disc brake with 160mm rotor. Also visible is the Axle Release quick release.

The eFlow comes equipped the Maxxis Overdrive Excel tires front and rear. These tires have an efficient road tread and a comfortable 2″ wide profile.

The eFlow can handle some dirt too! It’s not meant for off road riding but it can handle some dirt roads/paths.

Yours truly gettin my wheelie on with the eFlow electric bike!

Enjoying a ride on the eFlow.
