recently i received a Hamburg28 etrekking bicycle, promptly delivered considering a regional location. small issue with transport damage (headset lock ring received a knock in transport stopping me from inserting the stem) was sorted quickly and effortlessly by the team at Leon Cycle, sending a replacement. NCM and Leon Cycle have delivered a great value product and after a few rides on mixed terrain using various levels of electric assistance the Hamburg28 has performed well, the bike unassisted runs well, and the setup of the frame to my fit (186cm long limbs short torso) has been easy despite the change to an upright riding position from many years on road bikes in a forward racing/touring position. very comfortable saddle and suspension. many colleagues at my workplace are now seriously considering entering the ebike world as an alternative to purchasing a micro-car, so i'm pleased to have taken the plunge with Leon Cycle and the Hamburg28. the groupset drive train is proven Shimano Tourney 7speed, all that is needed for this setup. Tekro disc brakes are effective, Zoom suspension forks are compliant and direct in the steering. DasKit electrics are straightforward and solid. Schwable Marathon was a real drawcard as a stock tyre, as i have used for many years on my touring bike in 32mm form, here in 38mm the tyres perform as expected and roll extremely well given the extra load of the electric components. DasKit motor and controller show little lag in the assistance, pull solidly on the flat and uphill inclines and finding variant options to pedaling effort has been enjoyable on the long 20+km rides at ave 25km/h+ that i am doing commuting to and from work and appointments in town and on open rural roads. so far the battery has been growing in performance with each charge as expected. the pannier rack accommodates my ortlieb panniers well and is solid under load. i look forward to many many more enjoyable km's around my region and arriving to work in mostly office wear (except for bi-knicks, tights and shoes) unaffected by the 45mins ride. thanks again NCM & Leon Cycles :)
