Review on ๐Ÿšด DNP Epoch 7spd Freewheel: 11-28 Nickel Plated - Enhanced Cycling Performance! by Paul Hyde

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for commuter ebikes

I have used a commuter ebike that works great but the bike came with a 14-28T freewheel. However, rowing at 20-22 mph was too fast for me to use effectively in pedelec mode. Also, I typically used 7th gear for flats and descents and 6th gear for steeper roads. The 11-28T solves these problems: it allows you to put some pressure on the paddle even at 40 km/h. Thus, travel speed increased by about 2-3 miles per hour and battery range by about 20% or 5 miles. Now the bike is more of a regular bike with usable gears between 4 and 7. Can't comment on durability after only 180 miles with this freehub. Update: After about 3100 miles when the pawl mechanism started to fail, replace it. Worth an update.
