We are going to start with the style and design of the ENVO D35 today. At first glance, you will notice that the bike is both stylish and sleek without comprising the design’s overall simplicity. The bike itself is made of hydroformed, thin-walled fat aluminum tubes with 27.5″ x 1.95″ tires. Riders choose between two prestigious colors: aquatic galactic blue or an ice teal, which elevates the overall aesthetic experience.

The ENVO D35 would get a perfect score for its stylish frame; however we reserve 100/100 score for other brands who have begun releasing cool concepts, such as Harley Davidson.

In terms of ergonomics, we believe this element is completely personalized to each rider’s unique expectations. Therefore, we can only evaluate if the e-bike design has enough features and adjustability options to adapt the bike to the rider based on their body type and their proposed bike usage.

The ENVO D35 is equipped with a seat adjustable by up to 3 degrees of freedom and a handlebar that is adjustable up to 2 degrees of freedom. It also has an adjustable suspension at the front of the bike and a suspension seat post. This allows users to sit fully upright or in a downhill seating posture depending on their preference, which provides more comfort for the rider.

Furthermore, the bike comes equipped with 27.5” x 1.95″ thick wheels to minimize road vibration with minimal noise and drag. Additionally, the hydraulic disc brake levers can be operated with your finger with minimal effort.

The seat’s overall design is relatively more extensive than other bike seats, and it is remarkably padded to allow riders to use the bike for hours comfortably. The pre-load adjustable suspension fork and the seat suspension on the post of the bike also provides more comfort for the rider as it will absorb any bumps in the road for a smoother ride.

This e-bike has a maximum 500W mechanical power with a top speed of 32km/hour, which is quite common amongst the best electric bikes in Canada on the market. However, what does stand out to us is the 60Nm peak torque, which is way above average for street legal electric bikes. Many other electric bike companies have released bikes with higher torques. However, they have had to sacrifice the bike’s overall weight to do so.

Moving onto the bike’s range and efficiency parameters, the ENVO D35 is powered using a 36V 12.8Ah battery pack that offers 460Wh of energy, which is very favorable as the weight of the battery itself is only 2.5kg. However, in terms of battery capacity, we would consider this bike battery to be average as other bike batteries on the market that are advertised up to 760Wh.

Nonetheless, the ENVO D35, is a very light-weight and efficient bike. The bike only requires 100W to cruise at 25km/h without pedaling on a flat surface. Additionally, utilizing 90% of the battery SOC more than a 100km range can be met without pedaling. Users will also get 50km of high-performance cycling with a 4 to 5 level assist with this e-bike and a 150km low performance with a level 1 to 2 help. Both of which will last you throughout the day on a single charge without any problem.

The ENVO D35 is equipped with a premium color TFT display that providers riders with access to parameter settings, monitoring, visualization, and self-diagnostics. This allows you to program your bike based on your local government regulations and safety requirements.

Additionally, this electric bike features a power on demand throttle with enhanced pedal-assist technology and torque emulating software. The PAS cadence sensor tracks the degree of the road or slope. It will translate the data into the necessary pedaling assistance force. However, some riders may prefer the torque-sensing PAS over the cadence senor. Nonetheless, the pedal assist is very responsive. The soft acceleration option from a full stop allows the bike to be safe for all users.

As a result of the pandemic, ENVO was forced to switch between brands of components. However, the company still managed to maintain the quality grade of each brand. For example, Shimano Altus shifted to Sram X4 transmission or Tektro hydraulic disk brake system HD-E350 to Zoom HB 875-E with 180mm rotor. Quality of fork, tire, seat, stem, etc. to be taken into account in this section. Learn more about the ENVO D35 components by visiting the ENVO Drive portfolio website.

The ENVO D35 is the lightest in its class, with an elite-grade hydraulic disc brake system and a 180mm diameter rotor for both the rear and front wheels on a 1.95″ thickness. This ultimately makes the ENVO D35 the safest electric bike in terms of braking performance.

Unfortunately, the bike is neither foldable nor compact in terms of its size. However, as it is very light-weight, you will easily hang it vertically on a bicycle wall mount, car, or transit bike rack. You can also remove the battery for storage, which will make the bike just under 20kg.
