Why not try it out on your uphill test course?

[@jimbom2044]

bought one of these november last year used with less than 10 miles on it. wanted to see if i would like an emtb without investing thousands (paid just under 1k). absolutely loved riding it, so much so that i ended buying 2 fezzari wire peaks, one with the EP8, DVO suspension, Stan's rims with cush core and one with EP6 set up with Stan's rims, got them both on clearance for a killer price. one thing not mentioned here or that i've seen elsewhere is that the fork is complete trash if you plan to ride mtb trails, anything more than a dirt or gravel road and it sounded like it was going to explode (fyi i ride in florida so no huge chunky stuff) but for the price you could pick up a decent air fork and it would be well worth it. the motor is really strong and pretty quiet. i was able to get it up to 29.8 mph on the road. i'd like to ride the aventon ramblas and see how it compares because at this price i'm thinking the prodigy xc would be a better deal. anyway hope this may help someone who's on the fence. cheers

Your share of your experience is pure gold to us and our audience. Thank you. Yeah, theat fork is just for potholes, not trails. We'll upgrade!!!

I hope you come back and share your experience with the Ramblas. I watched a Ramblas review where the motor made what seemed like a lot of noise. I understand the Brose is very quiet. Will be interesting to show what you think when comparing the two. To the extent this bike has a 28mph speed rating Vs rhe 20mph limit of rhe Ramblas, for me, is a big plus of for this bike over the Ramblas. But the Ramblas has some superior components relative to this.

Hi FC, Can you add a dropper post to this version of the bike? I’ve seen in some videos of the Prodigy V2 that you can’t. If you can could you recommend a dropper post for this specific bike? Thanks

[@richarde1355]

I understand you are riding the XC version of the Prodigy, but It appears you keep mentioning what appears to be the prices for the oth Prodigy options, not the much more expensive XC.

$1300 is the deal of the year

[@EMTBReview]

Rrrrrright?

[@victorkan7288]

by the step-over commuter for $1295 and add a decent suspension fork for $600, great deal.
