JOBOBIKE Lyon Pro at Fatbikeskopen.nl

The JOBOBIKE Lyon Pro is JOBOBIKE’s city bike with nine Shimano gears, more than the seven or eight usually found in this class. It also features a torque sensor, hydraulic disc brakes, a MIK luggage rack, and a Bluetooth display. Twenty-seven-and-a-half-inch wheels with a low step-through frame measuring 46 centimeters. It weighs 29 kilograms and has a removable 540-watt-hour battery.

Nine gears

More gears mean smaller steps between them, so you can always find a gear that lets you pedal comfortably. On flat terrain, you notice this especially in headwinds: instead of choosing between too heavy and too light, you can find exactly the right gear. Shimano’s nine-speed components are also familiar to every bike mechanic, so maintenance and replacement are never a problem, even years from now. That may sound like a detail, but it adds up on your daily route. You can see things like this in just a few minutes in the showroom. The bike has puncture-resistant tires, so a nail or piece of glass won’t leave you stranded by the roadside.

Torque sensor and riding feel

The torque sensor measures how hard you push on the pedals and adjusts the motor accordingly, rather than simply engaging as soon as the pedals start turning. The result feels more like a regular bike with a tailwind than a bike pushing you forward. You notice this most when setting off and at intersections, because the assistance comes in gradually. Combined with nine gears, it makes for a particularly smooth ride. Small differences like these become more important the more often you use the bike. That may sound like a detail, but it adds up on your daily route.

Range and battery

The removable 36V, 15Ah battery, providing a total of 540Wh, is advertised as offering up to 150 kilometers. That is optimistic for this capacity: the figure applies to the lowest assist level with a lightweight rider on flat terrain. Realistically, expect seventy to ninety kilometers, which is more than a week of riding for most commuters. Since the battery is removable, you can charge it indoors while the bike stays outside. Do not leave the battery outside in freezing temperatures, as this will reduce its capacity over time. You can charge it from a regular power outlet, so no separate installation is required.

MIK rack and Bluetooth

The luggage rack has a MIK mount, the standard used by many Dutch brands. Bags, baskets, crates, and child seats with a MIK plate can be clicked on and removed in one movement, and accessories are widely available. The Bluetooth display shows your speed, assist level, and battery level, and you can connect the bike to your phone to adjust the settings. Convenient, although you do not need it to ride the bike normally.

Who is the JOBOBIKE Lyon Pro for?

For commuters who ride daily and value a useful range of gears and natural assistance. The recommended rider height is approximately 1.70 to 2.00 meters with a 46-centimeter frame. The maximum total weight is 120 kilograms, which is on the low side for heavy luggage. It only has front suspension, so you will feel more on prolonged rough roads than you would with a suspension seatpost as well. For commuting within built-up areas, this equipment is more than adequate. If you are unsure about the size, measure your inseam and compare it with the stated values.
