A Review of the Infiniti 3 City E-Bike: A Smooth and Effortless Ride

As I took the Infiniti 3 City e-bike out for a spin, I was impressed by its smooth ride and effortless pedaling. The bike glided along the road with ease, making it a pleasure to ride on the flat. The 700c wheels and larger 10 amp hour battery compared to some other bikes in this style, seemed to make all the difference in terms of performance. With the ability to get around six or seven kilometers per ten percent out of the bike, I was pleased with its range.

One feature that stood out to me was the removable and user-accessible battery pack. This is a rare design choice among e-bikes, which often have internal batteries that are not easy to replace. The fact that this bike's battery can be easily sourced as a replacement is a definite plus. Another advantage of this bike is its braking performance from the Tektro mechanical disc brakes. While 160 millimeters may seem like an average size for brake pads, I found them to give quite a good bite and almost too powerful at times.

In wet conditions, there was a slight risk of slipping over due to the lack of mud guards on the bike. However, this is something that the manufacturer may address in future updates. Speaking of updates, one area where the Infiniti 3 City e-bike falls short is in its climbing performance. The 250 watt motor, while sufficient for flat terrain, feels restricted when it comes to tackling steep climbs. I firmly believe that a more powerful motor, such as a 500 watt one, would be necessary to make this bike truly effective on hills.

On the other hand, the gears on this bike are a welcome feature, which sets it apart from some of its competitors who only have single-speed or belt drive systems. Being able to drop into lower gear and still tackle climbs is a major advantage over these alternative designs.

Riding on flat terrain was an absolute joy with this bike. The Kinder K West tires provided great rolling resistance, allowing me to cruise along at speeds over 25 kilometers per hour without even touching the battery. And with the ability to remove and lock the battery pack, I had complete control over my energy levels.

The build quality of the Infiniti 3 City e-bike is decent, if not outstanding. The weight of 18 kilograms may seem heavy at first glance, but considering the larger battery and motor, it's actually quite reasonable. Many other e-bikes in this class can weigh upwards of 20 or even 23 kilos.

The comfort features on this bike are also noteworthy. The seat post is smooth and comfortable to ride on, making long rides a pleasure. Overall, I found the Infiniti 3 City e-bike to be a solid choice for those looking for an affordable and efficient urban e-bike. While it may have some minor flaws, its advantages make it well worth considering for anyone in the market for a reliable and enjoyable ride.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis is the rymic infinity 3. it is a new brand that I am covering here in the channel so what  they're aiming at is a more affordable City Urban commute bike we've got a frame and setup that has  a total weight of 18 kilos which is not bad for an e-bike it has 700 C Wheels with Kinder road tires  we've got a seven speed Shimano set up with gears so at least it doesn't have one of those belt  drives with just the single speed and our brakes are brand brakes too Tech drone mechanical disc  brakes 160 millimeters so it has a rear hub motor the output from this one is restricted so it's 250  Watts which is the EU limit and you cannot go any faster than 25 kilometers per hour with the assist  so it's got three pedal assist levels once you go over 25 it cuts out and then you're just on your  own Pedal Power there which is normal so with this bike you'll see that it does does have a lockable  removable battery it's 10 amp hours or 360 Watt hours and they claim it should have a range of up  to 100 kilometers the rear hub motor is a brand motor too so it's a me Vice and they're using  a torque sensor with it so the power delivery is smooth and it's pretty much instantaneous which is  what you want so it has up to 46 newton meters of torque and the maximum output with the EU version  is limited to 250 Watts so we don't have a speed sensor in the crank it is a torque sensor the  welds do look good the paint job finish I like it's this dark gray metallic the version I have  here with a few areas that are silver now front hub does have a quick release making any puncture  repairs nice and easy to get the wheel off but we don't have this with the rear unfortunately  and the rear is exactly the same 160 millimeter tectro mechanical disc brake  rymac has selected a seat that is reasonably comfortable no real complaints from me about it  it's got a bit of sponge to it and we do have an adjustable seat post with a quick release  the bike does come with this rear tail light now it's an LED one it's not super bright but it does  the job it's included there of course you can upgrade this to something a little more powerful  you can see here at night that the lighting on the bike isn't bad at all so with the front headlight  it is a reasonably powerful LED one it does have a bit of a lens to it so it focuses in front of  you for riding at night time as you can see now as I've been cruising along this was taken at about  11 p.m you can see that it lights up The Path sufficient enough even without any street lights I  can see where I need to go safely so it is an okay light that is included now the front headlight LED  that runs off the main battery but this rear one does not it's separate and needs two AAA batteries  so we have gears here from Shimano we've got seven speeds and the chain that they do use is a KMC so  that's a proper brand chain and even though it is entry-level Shimano Tourney it still is good  and it's reliable better than a no brand derelia the front crank as you can clearly see does have  a alloy chain guard around it so that's good for protecting the chain and also to make sure  it doesn't come off this way if it ever was to come off the bike does have a removable battery  it's 10 amp hours or 360 Watt hours there is if you press the power button here a little battery  gauge so you can see if it is fully charged before you actually put it in the bike now to remove it  is a key so it's locked in place no one can just go along and steal it and when you unlock it here  that pops it up and then you can easily just take it out now this is a generic battery size that I  have seen before used in other bikes so it should be easy to Source a replacement there is a little  waterproof cap that is over where the charging port is charge time you're looking at around about  three and a half hours but they do apparently sell a high speed fast charger that will do it in two  and a half hours which is great considering it's a 10 amp hour battery so the brake levers they feel  good they are from tectro with the front brake here we do have a bow incorporated into the lever  as you can hear it is quite loud and the grips these are lock grips spongy they're not turning  around or going anywhere on me which is really good and then we have our trip computer so to  power it on you do need to First enter a password that's good in a way that stops  anyone that decides to try and steal the bike at least they're not going to have the power assist  the pedal assist we've got three levels with it so either off one two or three and then you see  here that we have a trip meter the odometer our maximum speed average speed and current speed  can be shown and the battery is clearly shown right here on the left percent and then the  little gauge right there as you can see now it is a little hard to make out in direct sunlight  but not too bad but I've seen screens that are a lot clearer than this one that's just a minor  little complaint here from me when it comes to the screen the Shimano gear selector here  is very easy to use and it has a clear gauge so you can see which of the seven gears you are in  now on to what it's like to ride here the Affinity three the kickstand I wanted to point out that it  is sturdy and it has not let the bike down let it fall over that is and it doesn't seem to Rattle  what does rattle is the battery located within the frame there which is of course removable that  I showed you just before now the frame size for me at least is working out to be pretty good it feels  nice and comfortable now as soon as you start to Pedal you basically get that power straight away  from the 46 Newton meter torque 250 watt motor so with a torque sensor the power delivery is very  smooth and it's basically instant you just get it straight away when you need it unlike other  bikes with speed sensors some of them it doesn't kick in until you do about five kilometers four  kilometers per hour then you get the power the power delivery is very smooth and you can see here  with the frame size that I don't have any risk of my knees striking the handlebars I got plenty  of room here I'm 184 centimeters tall and The Handlebar height could be a little bit higher I'm  crouched down just a little but I don't think it's going to be at the point where I will get I saw  back or anything like that so even though the Torx sensor is quite good it kicks in straight away you  still want to be in the right gear when you pull out from an intersection or you're coming out of  around about like me right now here so the gears Shimano the shifts are very good up and down no  problems with them I haven't had any grating of gears and overall riding on the road here is very  comfortable very easy very smooth so it will take me up to 25 kilometers per hour and you feel when  you get to about 25.5 it just disconnects that motor and you can feel the drag a little bit on it  now to get up and over 25 kilometers per hour if you do that you are not using then the battery at  all and you're going to extend your range a lot so I can pedal quite hard now and happily get up to  30 and even up to 35 kilometers per hour without using that motor because of the gearing in its  highest gear so here we are at my climb point so this is about 25 degrees now a lot of these bikes  fail this test because it is quite steep so I am in pedal assist level three and I'm just going to  go down gears here actually into the first gear so this is where other bikes that have the belts  they fall flat on their face here because you can't change the gear they're stuck in a high  gear but I've got a low gear now I'm able to go up this with relative ease it's not too bad but I  have to put a bit of effort in here so this is the limitation of the 250 watt motor this is where the  EU law I believe should change it should be 500 watts and then this climb would be a little easier  and what would happen if I turn off the pedal assist so let's find out it's off now and oh you  certainly notice it this is very difficult without that motor I'm going to have to stand up now to  power through this climb it is possible you're definitely going to get a workout if you've got  a flat battery I know my standard emergency brake test I'll do it from 30 kilometers from this post  whoa whoa whoa pretty hard to stop there it's so easy to lock up the rear wheels so I wish they  had hydraulics on the front and the backyard I think would be a little bit better a braking  performance is good the pads do bite in from techdro they are a little squeaky as you can hearnow to the end of the coast a pleasant ride really quite effortless on this  road just how smooth it really does cruise along so nice foreignso what about our range I'm able to get around about six sometimes seven kilometers per ten  percent out of this bike which is pretty good considering the fact that it has a 10 amp hour  battery which is a little larger than some of the other bikes that I've reviewed with this style say  the 700c wheels they normally come with seven amp hour batteries and normally they're not removable  they're actually internal inside the frame so they're not user removable whereas this is and  as I mentioned when we looked at the battery pack I've actually seen this exact design this exact  Dimension here used by some other brands so it seems to be generic which is a good thing you're  able be able to Source a replacement battery quite easily so that's one of the different positives of  this bike so braking performance from the tektro mechanical disc brakes 160 millimeters is average  it could be a little bit better but great glad to see that they haven't actually gone with a generic  brand which would have worse performance I find that the pads from tectro that they're using they  do give quite a good bite and almost a little bit too powerful for of the rear because it's  very easy to lock that up and you do have to be careful with the front that you if you break a  little too hard of course in the wet you've got that risk of slipping over which everyone knows  of course speaking of wet too if you're going to be riding it in the rain well sadly there are no  mud guards so I do hope that later they do include a package there that you can get mud guards for it  so the build overall is decent I like the weight as well 18 kilos a lot of people would say well  hang on 18 kilos is super heavy for a bike with this size rim and being a city bike as well but  considering the fact it's got a larger 10 amp hour battery the motor it's not actually too  bad so many of these e-bikes they do cover will have weights excess of 20 kilos sometimes 23 24  kilos with a similar kind of style and size to it so that's good it's a comfortable seat post  it's very smooth and cruisy riding the climbing performance from that 250 watt motor feels quite  restricted because of the EU law this is where I think they need to revise that EU law 250 Watts  simply is not enough for Steep climbs it needs to be double that really 500 watts should be the  limit there but at least we've got the gears here which other bikes do not have some of those bikes  only of course have a single speed a belt drive system which is smoother less maintenance but  then if you have to climb a lot that becomes a big issue whereas at least you can drop it  down into the lower gear and you can still go up those climbs now riding on the flat is very good  with this bike it's fast it's smooth we've got great rolling resistance from the Kinder K West  tires and I do find that a lot of the times I'm riding over 25 kilometers per hour so you're not  even touching that battery and the battery Bank you can remove it it's lockable so as  mentioned easily replaceable too which is great there so overall this is a decent bike and the  only cons for me are the braking performance the screen could be a little clearer and this  battery does rattle around so they're just minor little cons there that I hope they can  improve upon so thank you so much for watching my review here of the Infiniti 3 City e-bike\n"
