When it comes to electric bikes, there is one type that stands out from the crowd: it has a distinctive design, awesome power, robust structure, and premium feel. And the YADEA TROOPER 01 is a remarkable combination of these. Here in this detailed review, we will take an in-depth look at every aspect of this electric bicycle, from its outstanding design to its great power delivery, efficient braking system, advanced suspension, and luxurious comfort.
Design:
The YADEA TROOPER 01 features a design that seamlessly blends elements of classic and modern aesthetics. It takes inspiration from the straddle-style motorcycle, and the black and “dirt brown” combo presents the bike with an unforgettable look that takes attention whenever it’s on the street.
The frame of the YADEA TROOPER 01 is not only visually appealing but also well-constructed. The triangular structure ensures that it’s very stable while riding in whatever way you want, and it is also designed to provide a comfortable riding posture, ensuring that you can enjoy long rides without fatigue. It really looks and feels sturdy and durable, which is essential for a high-performance electric bike.
There is also an accessory basket positioned in between the frame, good enough for the charger and some light EDC items. The cable management is neat and lined up well all around the bike. I also like how they constructed the LCD screen and the throttle, they are all placed in the right place and never need to worry about the ease of use. The attention to detail in the design also lies in the premium components and the overall aesthetics, from the classic way of battery placement to the thoughtfully positioned controls, and every element contributes to the e-bike’s harmonious design.
Power:
The YADEA TROOPER 01 is not an average electric bike, it’s a powerhouse in my opinion. The heart of this e-bike is a 750W, 75Nm hub motor at the rear. The hub motor delivers a burst of power that allows you to conquer steep inclines and tackle different terrains with ease.
What sets this bike apart is not just its power output but also its high torque. The 75Nm of torque ensures that you can accelerate quickly after pedal assist kicks in, and maintain a consistent speed even when facing headwinds or uphill climbs. The bike in our hand is a US version, if you pedal first, then the motor will pick up and let you ride with less effort. Nevertheless, It’s this combination of power and torque that truly enhances the riding experience.
So whether you’re commuting through the city, exploring scenic trails, or going on long-distance rides, the YADEA TROOPER 01’s high-power motor ensures that you have the confidence to cover the distance.
Battery:
A crucial component of any electric bike is its battery, and the YADEA TROOPER 01 is among the best. It comes with a large-capacity lithium cells. The battery boasts a 48V 20Ah 21700 cell, a significant upgrade that enhances both capacity and power output. This translates to better performance and a more satisfying riding experience. With this battery, this bicycle offers an impressive range of 40-60 kilometers(25-38miles) in Throttle mode and more in Eco mode aka Pedal Assist mode. We tested it in real scenario, it is a little bit shorter than its official claims, but still managed to fulfill a week’s use in general.
Brakes:
This electric bicycle features hydraulic disc brakes at the front and rear, it is the king combo for any bike, which delivers precise and responsive stopping power. To put it into perspective, the advantage of hydraulic disc brakes is that they require minimal effort to engage, offering a comfortable and controlled braking experience. Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or new to electric bicycles, you’ll love the control these brakes offer. In our testing, the brakes performed very effectively, it is very sensitive to the input, and I can also modulate braking force precisely. This level of control has offered me a lot of confidence in varied conditions, I like it a lot.
Suspension & Comfort:
This e-bike has a dual suspension frame that effectively absorbs vibrations and shocks, this setup is particularly beneficial when riding on uneven terrain or tackling rough roads. It minimizes the impact of bumps, allowing you to maintain control and comfort throughout the ride. The suspension helped me a lot in navigating through potholes or exploring off-road trails, the suspension system really enhances my overall riding experience. To prevent to cushions from any damage, there are also two protective pads at the front, what a thoughtful design!
Now the fat tires, which provide another layer of stability. These tires have a larger contact patch, and the grip and control are amazing. When you get your hand on the tires, you will know that it’s not just two inflated tires, they really perform well in any conditions. As a result, it helped me confidently tackle a variety of roads, and the comfort level it provides is phenomenal.
Also don’t forget about the cushioned seat it has, it’s long and provides a nice sitting comfort. And since it’s not leaning forward, so you won’t feel that kind of pressure while riding for a long time. This is a plus for an electric bicycle.
Safety and Reliability:
YADEA has taken safety and reliability seriously when designing the TROOPER 01. With a lot of effort done, the Trooper o1 is UL2849 & EN15194 Certified, which means this is the safest and of highest quality e-bike you can buy right now.
The e-bike incorporates many protective measures to ensure both rider safety and the longevity of the e-bike. One of the critical safety features is the comprehensive battery management system. It includes overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection, overheat protection, and overcharge protection. These safeguards not only protect you from potential hazards but also extend the battery’s lifespan, ensuring long-term reliability.
Although these features are not quite visible to our day-to-day use, but it shows its accountability in the long run, and we will definitely remember that for a brand like YADEA.
Conclusion:
