Tomos EB 19 at Fatbikeskopen.nl

The Tomos EB 19 belongs to the fully equipped models in the Tomos EB range: a 748 Wh battery, hydraulic disc brakes, and a Shimano Nexus seven-speed hub. Twenty-eight-inch wheels, a low step-through, and a 50-centimeter frame. Thirty kilograms. While the simpler EB models use rim brakes and three gears, this model offers equipment that remains comfortable in wet weather and with luggage.

Where the EB 19 fits in the range

Tomos builds the EB series around a few choices: rim brakes or disc brakes, three or seven gears, and 626 or 748 Wh. The EB 19 is on the fully equipped end of the range, with the larger battery, hydraulic disc brakes, and seven gears. If you are looking for something lighter and simpler, the EB 11 or EB 15 with rim brakes are at the other end of the spectrum. They weigh less but offer less comfort and braking power in the rain.

Range of the Tomos EB 19

The 748 Wh battery is substantial for a city bike, where 500 to 600 Wh is common. The stated range is up to 160 kilometers, measured in the lowest assist mode on flat terrain without wind. Realistically, expect eighty to one hundred kilometers, which is still more than enough for most people. With a ten-kilometer commute each way, you will need to charge it at most once a week. A full charge takes six hours, so you can do it overnight. Do not leave the battery outside in freezing temperatures; this helps preserve its capacity over time. You can charge it from a regular power outlet, so no separate setup is needed.

Hydraulic brakes and the Nexus hub

Hydraulic disc brakes require less squeezing force than rim brakes and do not lose effectiveness in the rain because they grip a separate disc instead of the rim. The Shimano Nexus hub is enclosed in the rear wheel, so rain and road salt have little effect on it. You can also shift while stationary, which is useful at a traffic light if you have come to a stop in a high gear. The lights are permanently mounted on the bike and run on the main battery. When the bike is delivered, briefly check the brake lever reach, which you can adjust in a few seconds.

Low step-through on 28-inch wheels

Large wheels roll more efficiently over long distances and handle bumps better than small ones. Combined with the low step-through, they make it easy to get on without sacrificing riding comfort. The frame is 50 centimetres, and the recommended rider height ranges from approximately 1.70 to 2.05 metres, so this is not a bike for shorter riders. The maximum total weight of 150 kilograms leaves room for luggage or a full shopping bag on the rear rack.

Who is the Tomos EB 19 for?

For commuters who ride longer distances and do not want to charge every day, and who consider hydraulic brakes important. At 30 kilograms, this bike is substantial, meaning lifting it is not something you will want to do every day. One thing to note: the specifications for this model do not mention suspension, so you will feel more on cobblestone streets than you would with a suspension fork or suspension seatpost. If you are unsure about the size, measure your inseam and compare it with the stated values. Anyone who rides it daily will notice these choices sooner than someone who only takes the occasional ride.
