Portable Cargo Monster | ENVO Lynx | Electric Bike Review

Where would you take the Lynx?

[@windfall35]

I have two Lynx 20's and chose them for very specific reasons. There are faster and more luxurious ebikes out there. My mission was a foldable ebike with a tough frame that I can lift and load into my truck when I'm towing my RV and lift and load into my sailboat as I go around Lake Ontario. Ebikes are more than just 'bicycles'- they are urban mobility devices that sub for other vehicles- perhaps as your 'drive to work' vehicle in lieu of a car or bus. Its great to travel, park the car and use the ebike to explore towns and villages (particularly when traffic is challenging). Weight was the most important factor for me. Second was range - I've travelled 20-30 km and barely seen the battery gauge budge. Having the battery in the seat post appears to see the bike not immediately present as an ebike- a useful security feature. Pedal assist is excellent at all 5 levels and is a blessing on miles-long hills or heavy headwinds. I also wanted a separate throttle when a burst of speed is desired. Finally I was interested in a bike that was engineered in North America that offers a dealer network across the continent as I travel in my RV in the event of technical issues. I've used my lynx for two seasons as I travel and they have both worked flawlessly.

How do I charge it???

[@windfall35]

The batteries are in the seat post. The charging port is under the seat.

I have a question about the motor on this bike. Is it 500 watt nominal, or peak power. I see on many sites it says 500 watts max, and that would lead me to believe that it would be in the range of a 350 watt motor which peaks at 500, but I could be wrong, and no one has verified this for me. Thank you

I would love to see reviews for other envoy bikes there are none😭 I wanted this bike until the envo flex urban and overland came out those two I have my eye on just wish there reviews on them it could really help me decide

[@electrifiedreviews]

We're supposed to be getting our hands on another bike soon, unsure which one they're going to send though...so keep your eyes peeled.

Just bought an open box Lynx from Envo in Vancouver for 1299 CANADIAN or $960.USD.

[@Itwasntalieitwastrueinmymind]

How did you get an open box deal?

[@Wilderness10]

I also did

[@jacobglau5632]

@@Itwasntalieitwastrueinmymind there is a store in Vancouver that sells used, open box and new Lynx 20. Can't provide you a link so you'll have to google online

[@jacobglau5632]

Is this essentially a direct copy of rhe qualisports dolphin?

[@momsterous]

The rear light needs to be on the back of the rack. Swap the light with the reflector - if you use the rack the light is no longer visible.

[@momsterous]

Unfortunately, the headlight is attached to the basket, not the handlebars. When you turn your handlebars the light doesn’t go with your turn. To me, it’s distracting and hazardous to have the light shining in a direction other than the one you’re moving in. I really love the bike but these light issues shouldn't be issues.

[@jaywagner3111]

Looks like a clone of the Qualisports Dolphin/Volador! The problem with the battery in the seatpost design is that you can’t fit a quality suspension seat post which is desirable due to the short wheelbase. T

[@nitinarora9060]

so battery can be stolen (with seat ofcourse) easily in a moment of second.. no key

[@monsieurlopez9040]

Is the battery waterproof or water resistant? I mean can I take it on a rainy day and go outside?

[@jessipanda]

I have this bike, used it for over 2000 km, through a Canadian winter even. I've ridden it in heavy rain, I just make sure the charging port cover is on, and wipe it off when I arrive at my destination. I also don't keep it out in the rain (unless i'm quickly running into a store). Your mileage may vary of course, this is just my personal experience.

[@anthonysylvester740]

@@jessipanda I'm considering one of these for communing in Vancouver. Would you still recommend this 8 months later?

[@MariaChisholm-sv9zx]

How do you charge?????

[@robgilbert3395]

Great video, especially your point about speed = safety in some situations.

[@katrinamackie2451]

Do you know if you can take the front basket off?

[@jessipanda]

Yep, you can take it off! It's just bolted on at the front with 3 bolts but is removable.

[@felixomania3348]

Better than Giant!

[@ItsHollyO]

Is that a Quadlock phone mount?

[@rexluminus9867]

Yes it is.😊

[@choosenone2die]

how easy is it to repair a flat tire ?

[@stingeylido2561]

Pretty easy just like changing a mountain bike takes regular bike inner tubes 20”

What is open box?

[@goodshipharmony]

It's just like a closed box except it's open.

[@8_x_9.]

​@@goodshipharmony 😮🎉😂😂😂❤

[@MoebiusStrip]

LOL at kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5CwknWDo9KiaqM the battery IS the seat post!? AND you can lower it where it can hit the ground is the STUPIDEST unsafe design I have ever seen. A shorter rider having the battery that low to the ground will cause an impact during riding and cause a thermal runway lithium battery fire.

[@rexluminus9867]

That's what stricken me instantly!!!! The battery should of been in the folding frame!!! Dumb design.😮

[@X1GenKaneShiroX]

That looks like a electric bike that should go for $250 but for $1,600?!?! That’s ridiculous, considering that the ENVO Lynx looks like a bike for kids and for short riders not to forget the puny battery capacity and low watt hub motor for the bike.

[@ekremg940]

I was complaining about the price just like you but after having it now I’m sure it worths 1600$ + taxes. Only missing thing would be a key for the security.

[@jessipanda]

Do you have actual experience with this bike? Part of the price tag is the fact that it's a *folding* bike, for one. Worth the price tag for people with limited space. I've ridden mine for over 2,000 km and can tell you the range is stellar, not puny. I've done a ~30km round trip ride at top throttle the whole way on hilly terrain and had plenty of battery life left when I got home. It goes the 35 km/h easily on a full charge, which is beyond the speed limit for ebikes here, so I've had no issues with the motor not being strong enough. @ekremg940 is right, the only thing really missing is extra security for it.

[@IamReallySanta]

Just get some training wheels put on and it will be perfect for you kiddo.

[@cathiarola]

@@jessipanda I rode my Lynx from Canmore to Banff on the Legacy Trail - 50 kilometres return. My battery was fully charged when I started and I still had juice when I got back to my car. I rode on pedal-assist 5 with very strong headwinds in my face the whole way to Banff (winds weren't against me on the way back). My only compliant is the seat needs to be more comfortable. :)
