10 Reasons to Buy the Biomega NYC

  • It comes with a carbon belt instead of a regular chain. The belt generally lasts five times longer than a traditional chain and doesn’t require any special maintenance or greasing and degreasing. 
  • It has an internal gear hub that protects the parts from weather and water damage, making them more long-lasting. 
  • The Shimano hydraulic disc brakes perform well in all kinds of weather and on any type of terrain. 
  • It comes with specially designed pedals with excellent grip.
  • The modern, urban, minimalistic design gives it an elegant look.
  • Available in three colors: white, black, and gray.
  • Comes in two frame sizes: M-size, suitable for riders up to 180cm in height, and L-size, ideal for riders up to 200 cm in height.
  • Three different gearing options are available, but they may affect the price of the e-bike.
  • Having no cables on the bike makes it look even better.
  • The front suspension fork illuminates, so you do not need extra light to stay visible at night. 

3 Reasons Not to Buy the Biomega NYC

  • The charging time is short but the charging port is not very conveniently placed.
  • There are no lights on the bike, so you may need extra lights.
  • The maximum rider weight on this bike is 125 kg or 275 pounds, rendering this bike inappropriate for anyone who weighs more than that.

Velorution

“The Biomega NYC 8-speed is a light, nippy bike that is perfect for city-riding (its stylish looks would be an attraction in an office, rather than something to hide under the stairs), and it can handle bumpy sections of road surprisingly well.”

“Originally designed in 2010, the NYC model features intelligent details such as gear and brake cables hidden inside the frame, which are used on Biomega's previous bikes and have helped establish the firm as a leading producer of functional and stylish city bikes.”

Curbside Cycle

“They aimed to dignify the bicycle as upscale transportation, something that feels more important than a car and deconstructs the car as object-of-desire.”
