On a recent trip to Taiwan, I was invited by our factory to ride to Sun Moon Lake, 90km from the city. Most of the crew was riding carbon race bikes and I decided to ride an OHM.

Many asked, “What will you do when your battery runs out of power?” I replied, “When I use up the battery power, I can still ride the OHM like a regular bike.” “Besides, I can ride up to 90km with assistance on a single battery charge.”

Five hours later, I arrived at Sun Moon Lake with 5% left in the battery pack.

The OHM Urban is one of the best electric bikes for long distance commuting and touring. Its trekking drivetrain allows easy shifting and wide gear ratio for cruising on flats and climbing steep hills. The hydraulic brakes have great stopping power for added safety.

I was very pleased with the performance and comfort of the bike for the whole ride. It really made for an enjoyable trip.
