PIXAR City1 (UK) Electric Bike

I purchased the Pixar City1 two months ago for my daily 10km commute, and it has been an absolute game-changer. The 250W rear hub motor is smooth and provides just the right amount of boost, especially when starting from a stop. The 36V battery consistently delivers around 35km per charge, which is more than enough for my needs. I appreciate the simple, clean design and the sturdy feel of the frame. The mechanical brakes required a slight adjustment out of the box but have been reliable since. The 27.5-inch wheels make for a comfortable ride, and the hardtail suspension is sufficient for city pavement. Charging does take a full 6 hours, so I plan accordingly. Overall, a fantastic value e-bike that I would highly recommend to urban commuters.

I've been using the Pixar City1 for my 12km daily commute for three months now, and it has completely transformed my mornings. The 250W rear hub motor is smooth and quiet, providing just the right amount of assistance without feeling overpowered. The 36V battery consistently delivers the promised 35km range, even with some hills along the way. I weigh around 100kg, and the bike handles my weight plus a backpack effortlessly. The mechanical brakes are responsive, and the hardtail suspension is firm yet comfortable on paved roads. My only minor gripe is the charging time – it does take a full 6 hours if completely drained. But since I plug it in overnight, it hasn’t been an issue. The IP45 rating gives me peace of mind on drizzly days. Highly recommend for city riders!

This is my first e-bike, and I’m thoroughly impressed with the City1. The setup was straightforward, and I was riding within an hour. The motor is surprisingly quiet and offers seamless assistance. I’ve used it for weekend rides along the canal path, and the battery lasted the entire 30km trip with some pedal assist. The bike feels solid and well-built, and the mechanical brakes provide strong stopping power. My only minor complaint is the seat – I found it a bit firm for longer rides and ended up replacing it. Other than that, it’s been a reliable and enjoyable ride. I feel much more motivated to get out and explore now.

The City1 arrived last week, and I’ve already put over 80km on it. The max speed of 32km/h is perfect for keeping up with city traffic without feeling unsafe. The 27.5-inch wheels roll smoothly over bumps and cracks. I was worried about the mechanical brakes, but they are actually quite strong and easy to modulate. The battery life is accurate – I got about 33km on pure electric mode with some pedal assist on steeper sections. The frame feels sturdy, and the overall design is sleek. It’s a bit heavier than my old bike at 23.3kg, but once you’re moving, you don’t notice it. Great value for money!

The City1 has completely replaced my car for trips within 10km. I use it for grocery shopping, going to the gym, and meeting friends. The rear rack handles a good amount of weight, and the bike remains stable even when loaded. The electric assist makes riding with cargo effortless. I love the minimalist look and the fact that it doesn’t scream "e-bike." The battery life is accurate, and I only need to charge it twice a week. The mechanical brakes are simple and effective. It’s a practical, fun, and cost-effective way to get around town.
