Everything you need to know about the French bike Ref Bikes urban boost 100% modular and customizable that’s the topic of the day Hi it’s Stéphane from levalourbain.com magazine today we’re going to talk about a super bike that can be adapted to your liking and completely modular. principle is simple the frame is

Assembled without glue and without welding so this allows you to reuse modify or transform it as you wish you can add modules so transform it into a long tail or other well in short you understand everything is possible with this bike in addition you have the possibility of buying it

Either as a muscle bike or as an electric bike it is designed it is simple and it is made in France in short thanks to this video you will know absolutely everything about this bike Ref Bikes urban boost and

Yes I suggest that you and I discover it in detail before testing it on the road and giving you my opinion so stay tuned until the end of this generic video. So to start with some characteristics concerning this Ref Bikes urban boost you should know that you can buy it

In muscular mode or in electric mode and in the essential boost version and a boost bar for the electric but and if you prefer you can also configure your bike entirely as you wish and that’s cool you have the choice of having an open frame or a closed frame you have the choice

Of having a belt or gears because you have a 7 speed derailleur and stuff crazy it comes in 13 different colors and finally you have the choice between three sizes ML and XL tell yourself that you will have to pay between €890 for the muscular version and €2,690 for the electric version

And today we are going especially focus on the urban boost electric model this bike you can buy it directly on the Ref Bikes website or in a shop near you at a Ref Bikes reseller here are the main characteristics now we will look at this bike

In detail so before going to test the bike you obviously have to charge the battery but if you look closely at the bike you will say to yourself Stéphane but where is the battery there is not even a

Hole to plug the charger onto the frame and yes this bike has a completely different system with everything integrated into the hubs of the rear wheel you have and the motor and the battery it’s really different from what we’re used to seeing on other bikes and therefore the motor

It is a Zeus motor all in one with inside the lion battery of 28.8 V, 6 h and 172.8 W and to charge the battery it is also a completely different system you have to unscrew the small nut at the rear hubs and that’s where you plug in the charger, the latter is

2 Ah and 33.6 V and tell yourself that it takes 2 hours of charging to completely recharge your battery which is quite fast when you have to I even explain to you how to start the electric assistance because this bike is really different in many ways

So for the bike to start you have to make three revolutions of the pedals you have to move forward and ride for three turns of the pedals and for the electric assistant to start you have to do turns of the pedals again but in the other direction and then your assistance starts so

I’ll show you I do 1 2 3 now I’m going to pedal backwards 1 2 3 and then presto the assistance starts so it’s really special and that’s due to the motor which is in the

Hubs of the rear wheel as usual I’m going to talk to you about the comfort of the bike then you have neither shock absorber at the front nor shock absorber at the rear nor shock absorber on the salt rod concerning the

Tires these are the 27.5 inch tires so they are good hutchinson republic tires without reflective stripe unfortunately I always find that a shame not to have one to be more visible at night they are relatively wide and they offer good grip on all roads

On all types of path whether gravel, bitumen or other then we have a relatively classic flat brown saddle I I want to tell you but you can choose it in black if you prefer if you don’t like brown we have a rigid bike but relatively pleasant for

An urban practice in any case in terms of driving position we have a 60° position a bit like a mountain bike we are still leaning on the front hands but we are at the same time we are relatively upright unfortunately you have no possible adjustment at the level of the stem you

Cannot adjust the height or anything else it’s a bit of a shame but hey I reassure you you can still adjust the height of your seat post and as you have three bike sizes you will find necessarily the bike adapted to your size knowing that it is suitable for a person between

1.55 and 1.85 regarding the wrists they match the color of your saddle so you can choose them in brown or black they are imitation leather but above all they are ergonomic so that ‘s good you don’t hurt the palms of your hands and you really have good support so regarding

The driving position honestly we really have a very good driving position which is very pleasant especially for an urban practice once again because this bike is still intended for that so it’s positive and stand behind your screen while I have your full attention if you

Want to support me and encourage me to always do more videos don’t hesitate to put a thumbs up because by doing that you favor the Youtube algorithm which will more easily put my videos forward and which will at the same time allow me to offer you more videos and

More. is free so in advance I thank you what about braking with this bike then we have Shimano hydraulic brakes associated with 160 mm discs so normally it should brake well I accelerate I’m at 25 come on it’s is a little wet I skid but frankly

It only takes me a few meters to brake so the braking test is validated you know that I like to talk about the weight of the bike for me it’s important information especially when we

Has an urban use and you can imagine that this bike only weighs 16.5 kg it’s nothing at all it’s really great for an electric bike so it’s easy to even if I admit I don’t really know

Anyway where to carry it but in any case it can be done to go down a few steps hop just take it perhaps by the handle that’s it a little better like that in any case it can be done and

It’s really not very heavy compared to the other bikes that I have been able to test and what does it look like to mount I told you the motor is in the hubs of the rear wheel and you have three levels

Of assistance so I might as well tell you that I am going put the highest level of assistance because you have echo custom and turbo so here I am in turbo mode you can see that I have no speed

So I have a good big hill so you still have to press it is not made to climb big hills it’s really an urban bike you can feel it straight away so the motor still develops 40 nm and it propels you without problem up to 25 km/h and I’ll say it again

Here I the model with belt so without the 7 Shimano speeds so if you have hills on your route I really advise you to take the option with the Shimano derailleur with the 7 speeds and not the belt if you really do urban riding stay with the model with belt

So if I test the three modes I might as well tell you that in mode 1 it’s okay you still feel that you have a little assistance in mode 2 it still goes much better and in mode 3 it runs on its own

It’s great to have three modes but in the end in any case with this model with the belt it would be a good bike I will ride all the time in assistance 3 you can imagine so in terms of autonomy you are supposed

To do 60 km with this bike but it’s is in assistance one you suspect so you can count on 30 35 km so obviously after that it will depend on your elevation your weight your route the outside temperature because here we are in winter so it is cold so the

Batteries discharge more quickly so it’s an average autonomy for this type of urban bike obviously it’s not a big battery everything is in the hubs of the rear wheel but you can’t have everything then as the bike only weighs 16 kg normally I’m supposed to be able to

Also pedal without assistance I cut the assistance you feel that there is still a resistance at the level of the rear hub because of the motor obviously it is not smooth but hey in any case I think you can when even riding without assistance in any case I won’t do 60

Km like that but in any case it can do it what about the responsiveness of this bike the goal is to know after how many revolutions of pedals the electric assistance starts so let’s test straight away 1/4 turn I’ll start again it seems so improbable to me

Hop 1/4 turn so it’s an ultra responsive bike and the electric assistance starts straight away on the way so that’s a super positive point for this bike what great responsiveness I love let’s talk about the cockpit as I told you earlier the handlebars are not adjustable you cannot

Modify its inclination or other is a bit of a shame but hey that’s what also gives it its urban look on the other hand you have the choice between a sport or classic comfort handlebar or sport or comfort with baramine anti-vibration there the one that I have it’s the curved comfort hanger

In any case it’s a very pleasant hanger it has an angle of 30% it’s made of aluminum and it measures 64 cm you obviously also have the handles that we talked about earlier I I’m not going to go over that again, we also have the Shimano hydraulic brake levers, normally you obviously have

A bell, but on my test model I don’t have it, so the big feature on this bike is that you don’t have a display. nor a controller finally if you have a removable controller that I put on the right side of the bike which allows you to change

Your three levels of assistance then it’s a fair price for Ref Bikes it avoids the bugs that you can have with a display even if in all honesty I have never had a bug with

A display and this little controller there that is removable you can put it on the right or left depending on whether you are right-handed or left-handed or depending on your preferences also hold your screen

Now that you are starting to know a little about the bike do not hesitate to put me in the comments what you think of it so now you will ask me but how do we go about it? know all the information concerning this bike and for that you have

To download an application and yes I am sorry for you so this is an application that works both for Apple and for Android which can be downloaded easily and therefore thanks to this ZEUS application you can turn your bike on or off you can see your number of kilometers

Traveled you can change your assistance levels you can configure your assistance levels in short it’s a real dashboard but if you want to see all that well you have to do as I was able to do here you have to put a smartphone holder which allows you to see all

Your information live otherwise you put it in your pocket and then and then that’s it anyway you are with this bike for riding you also don’t have to know all the time how much you are riding and importantly you can also lock

Your bike using this application to prevent theft what about the look of the bike and all the communication is made on the fact that it is a completely modular customizable bike whose tubes are easily replaceable so obviously it gives a particular look to this

Bike especially at the level of its junctions which are I remind you are not glued or welded it is therefore an innovative design Made in France and if unfortunately you break part of your bike

Or if there is part of the frame which is damaged you just have a tube to change so it is also a somewhat eco-friendly part responsible we will say this is what allows us to have a high frame a

Low frame a long tail version a normal version because yes Ref Bikes soon they will offer an electric long tail version which this time will have a detachable battery so it will also be practical we will necessarily have more power in short you will have understood all these sections of the

Bike have this very particular look of Ref Bikes that you don’t find anywhere else on the frame you have an insert to attach a water bottle holder or most often an anti-theft device at the front you have a headlight that

Works with a similar dynamo to do it at the rear always at the rear we have a very good luggage rack which can support up to 25 kg and it will allow you to also easily put

Your panniers on as you can see in the images me this is what allows me to transport all my video equipment and it is also what will be useful to you if you ever ride a bike and finally you have two plastic mudguards with a skirt on which the

Small rear light is fixed and the pluses of this bike so it is already manufactured and assembled in France which is very positive in addition in the Lyon region it has a look of its own so it is an easily identifiable bike it is available in three sizes which is more

And more rare also which deserves to be underlined it is ultra modular and declinable that makes it positive points and finally the motor the battery everything is in the rear hub which is also one of the main characteristics of this bike Ref bikes and finally the axles improvement because the

Perfect bike doesn’t exist I’m still not a big fan of bikes where you have to have a smartphone to have all the information I’m maybe a little old school but I like having my display and my controller well after that it’s my point of view so ok eh it’s more discreet it

Gives a more refined look to the bike but hey so you don’t forget to remove and recharge the little controller which is right or left of your handlebars in conclusion Ref Bikes is completely in its time by offering a 100% modular

Customizable eco-responsible reusable bike designed and manufactured in France without forgetting that we still have some high-end components they have managed to create a truly unique bike that is unlike any other and today it is not an easy thing to do and if you ever want to try

This bike it is possible in certain big cities you can find all the information on their website you can test without problem or test it in the store which is located near you finally the delivery of the bike is planned for January 2024

So at the moment of the release of this video that’s it in any case it’s over for this test this presentation and this review on this Ref Bikes urban bike I hope that all the information I have given you has been useful to you if you ever have any questions about this bike

Don’t hesitate to ask them in the comments I will answer it with great pleasure and for my part I will see you soon for future videos from the world of urban cycling on urban cycling.com ciao
