Zen Samurai E-Bike Review, 2023

Jun 2023 · Forrest Woolman

Top of the Line Technology and Energy Efficiency with this Awesome Bosch-Powered Adventure e-Bike With summertime's arrival, many of us are thinking about our upcoming adventures. Whether they be short or long, in the city or out in the boonies, the Zen Samurai adventure/touring e-bike can give you a thrilling time. Designed by Guinness World

Highs
  • Comfort and perfomance galore. It’s a tech-loaded bike with all the features really enhancing the ride.

  • Balanced power distribution from the Bosch mid-drive motor.

  • Easy gear selection with the Enviolo Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) 380 internal gear hub.

  • Cleaner, quieter and longer lasting Gates Carbon Drive belt.

  • Efficient energy use, and up to 50-mile range on one Bosch 13.4Ah battery.

  • Battery charges in 2-3 hours with the 4-amp fast charger.

  • Both the Bosch motor and Bosch battery are UL certified, giving you increased safety and reliability.

  • Lots of customization options, including battery, frame size, gear hubs, forks, lights, display units, seatpost suspension, brakes, paint color and tires.

Lows
  • It’s great value in terms of what you get for what you pay on the base model, but it is a pretty high starting price point that can add over a thousand more for enhanced features.

  • Honestly, we couldn’t find major flaws with this bike, leaving us to fret about minor things, like wanting a 2nd battery charger – so we could ride sooner!

Observations
  • A premium commuter, touring capable, electric bike with Bosch Gen 4 Speed motor capable of 28mph. Offers clean quiet Gates Carbon belt drive, powerful Magura hydraulic disc brakes, and Enviolo continuously variable transmission.

  • Comes stock with a Bosch PowerTube 500 battery pack and 4 amp fast charger. Optional PowerPack 500 doubles range while keeping weight low and center. Four frame sizes, adjustable angle stem, and Ergon touch points ensure comfort.

  • Custom suspension seat post pairs with Manitou air suspension to offer comfort at speed and over long distances. Included SKS fenders, sturdy rear rack, and optimally positioned light offer safety and utility.

  • Weighs a bit more because it comes feature-complete. Pricing starts at $4.6k but rises sharply with optional suspension, brake, and drivetrain upgrades. Battery charge port and downtube cover could be refined.
