Hoheacht MOLA MONTO Review

As a component giant, Shimano is mostly known for its dominant position in bicycle gears. But with the EP8, the Japanese are clearly showing that they can look beyond their own plate too. With torque under the motor cover, the support is generous. Nobody needs to fear steep hills anymore. Furthermore, the power of the motor control is regulated so that the start always feels dynamic,. Whoever enjoys longer tours will be pleased with the good range.

As the hits get faster and harder the average chassis limits the downhill fun. Especially for heavy riders, the Hoheacht brakes could be a problem. With four pistons they only decelerate averagely. The average shifting components and accessories leave some tuning potential open. For most e-bikers, this should be an acceptable point. The trend is going towards increasingly longer main frames. With a very high Reach Value, Hoheacht meets this trend. However, especially inexperienced riders must be aware that it takes a brave body effort to maneuver the MOLA MONTO.
