Tomos EB 20 at Fatbikeskopen.nl

The Tomos EB 20 is one of the fully equipped models in the Tomos EB range: a 748 watt-hour battery, hydraulic disc brakes, and a Shimano Nexus seven-speed hub. At twenty-eight kilograms, it is two kilograms lighter than the EB 18 and EB 19 with comparable equipment. Twenty-eight-inch wheels with a low step-through on a 50-centimeter frame. For intensive daily use over longer distances.

Where the EB 20 fits in the range

Tomos builds the EB series around a few choices: rim brakes or disc brakes, three to nine gears, and 355 to 748 watt-hours. The EB 20 is on the fully equipped side, with the large battery, hydraulic brakes, and a Nexus hub, while remaining lighter at 28 kilograms than the EB 18 and EB 19. If you want a wider gear range, the EB 17 with nine gears is the obvious choice within the same range. That may sound like a detail, but it adds up on your daily route.

Range of the Tomos EB 20

The 748 watt-hour battery is substantial for a city bike, where 500 to 600 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 would need to charge it at most once a week. A full charge takes six hours, so you can do it overnight. You charge it from a regular wall outlet, so you do not need a separate charging setup. A battery lasts longer if you do not routinely run it completely empty and charge it indoors during winter.

Hydraulic brakes and the Nexus hub

Hydraulic disc brakes require less squeezing force than rim brakes and do not lose any of their effectiveness in the rain because they grip a separate disc rather than 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. Check the brake lever reach when the bike is delivered; you can adjust it in a few seconds. Brake pads and discs use standard sizes, so they can be replaced at any service point.

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 compromising ride comfort. The frame is 50 centimeters, and the recommended rider height is approximately 1.70 to 2.05 meters, so this is not a bike for shorter riders. The maximum total weight of 150 kilos leaves room for luggage or a full pannier.

Who is the Tomos EB 20 for?

For commuters who ride longer distances, do not want to charge every day, and consider hydraulic brakes important, but are still looking for one of the lightest models in this category. At 28 kilos, it is still too heavy to carry every day. One thing to note: the specifications do not mention suspension, so you will feel more on cobblestone roads than you would with a suspension fork or suspension seatpost. Anyone who rides it daily will notice these design 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.
