Green JOBOBIKE Ace at Fatbikeskopen.nl

Green is the most eye-catching of the three colors in which we sell the JOBOBIKE Ace. That works well on a compact folding bike, because the small frame keeps the color from becoming overwhelming. Technically, nothing has changed: 20-inch wheels, a low step-through, a 360 watt-hour battery, Bluetooth pairing with your phone, and mechanical disc brakes. At 26 kilos, this is a bike you store compactly rather than carry around every day.

Folding and weight

The frame and handlebars fold, after which the bike fits in a car trunk or the back of a van. At 26 kilos, it is on the heavy side for a folding bike: lifting it once makes it clear that carrying it every day is not realistic. Consider it a bike you store compactly, not one you take on the train. For anyone who needs to fit it into a shed or small storage space, that is exactly enough. Instead of a chain, it has a belt drive, which requires no maintenance and keeps your clothes clean.

Range and battery

With 36V and 10 amp-hours, it has 360 watt-hours of capacity, providing around 50 kilometers according to the specifications. That is modest and therefore honest: you can genuinely achieve that distance in everyday use. If you commute five kilometers each way, one charge will get you through an entire week. A full charge takes four to six hours, so plug it in in the evening and it will be ready in the morning. You can charge it from a regular power outlet, so no special setup is needed. A battery lasts longer if you do not routinely drain it completely and charge it indoors during winter. The motor uses a torque sensor, so the assistance follows your own pedaling force and starts smoothly when you set off.

Low step-through and Bluetooth

The low step-through makes getting on and off easy, which is useful on a folding bike because you get off more often than you do on a regular city bike. The Bluetooth connection with your phone lets you adjust settings and review rides. It is not essential, but it is useful if you keep track of how much you ride. There is suspension at the front to absorb curbs and speed bumps; the rear has no suspension, which helps keep the weight somewhat lower.

Mechanical brakes

The Ace has mechanical disc brakes instead of hydraulic ones. You notice the difference in wet weather and on descents: you have to squeeze harder, and modulation is less precise. On the other hand, mechanical brakes are easy to adjust, and you can make minor repairs yourself on the road without workshop tools. For a bike that is mainly ridden on flat terrain in the city, that is a defensible choice. Brake pads and discs come in standard sizes, so replacements are available at any service point.

Who is the green JOBOBIKE Ace for?

For anyone looking for a first electric bike that can be stored compactly and is easy to get on and off, in a color that stands out from the usual black and gray. The 60-centimeter frame suits riders approximately 1.50 to 1.95 meters tall, with a maximum total weight of 120 kilograms. Keep the mechanical brakes and the 26-kilogram weight in mind. If you want hydraulic brakes or a bike that is easy to carry, look at another model. Anyone who rides it daily will notice these choices sooner than someone who only takes an occasional ride. Consider where you will store the bike, as that often matters more than the specifications. The rear rack uses the MIK system, which lets you attach and detach bags, baskets, and crates in one motion.

Ordering from Fatbikeskopen.nl

Lift it once before ordering, so you immediately know whether it suits the way you want to use the bike. At ten showrooms, you can fold it and take it for a test ride. For maintenance, you can visit more than 450 locations in the Netherlands. When ordered online, the bike arrives at your home ready to ride. You can arrange insurance when placing your order. There is a three-year warranty on the frame and a one-year warranty on the components and battery.
