JOBOBIKE Luxe - Snow White

JOBOBIKE Luxe at GOfatbike

The JOBOBIKE Luxe is an urban e-bike that combines comfort and quiet technology. The drive runs via a carbon belt and shifting is done with an internal hub gear, so no chain gets greasy and no sprockets are exposed to the elements. You sit upright on a low-step frame. Below we go through what the Luxe can do and what to consider before choosing. It’s a bike for those who want to ride comfortably and with little maintenance around the city.

Frame and low step-through

The frame has a low step-through and a relaxed geometry, making mounting and dismounting easy. You sit upright with your eyes on the road. The carbon belt and internal gear keep the side of the bike neat and clean, without loose sprockets in sight. From about 155 cm in height, you’ll fit well on this model. This makes the Luxe suitable for a wide range of riders who mainly travel in and around the city. The upright riding position is comfortable for both short and longer rides.

Seating, comfort, and equipment

A hydraulic suspension front fork with lock-out absorbs shocks and can be locked on smooth asphalt. The integrated LED lighting with automatic brake light makes you highly visible and lets traffic behind you know when you’re slowing down. An MIK luggage rack makes carrying bags easy. On the LCD display with Bluetooth, you can track your ride, and via the app, you can adjust settings as you wish. This way, you keep an overview without having to adjust many things while riding. The lights automatically activate when you brake.

Range and battery

The 540Wh battery provides a generous range for daily rides and longer trips. How far you get depends on your weight, the wind, the chosen support level, and the route. So, expect a margin rather than a fixed number. There’s plenty of reserve for commuting and weekend outings. You charge with the included cable, with the battery on the bike or removed, whichever suits you. If you often ride in the highest assist level or against the wind, the battery will run out sooner.

Motor, gears, and controls

The bottom bracket houses a 250W mid-drive motor that keeps the power low and central, making it easy to handle. Shifting is done with a Shimano 8-speed hub gear, which you can operate even when stationary. With 5 support levels, you control how much assistance you get. The support runs up to 25 km/h, you always pedal yourself, and there is no throttle. This makes the Luxe count as a regular electric bike, without a license, registration, or helmet requirement. We advise against tuning it up: the bike then falls outside that category and your warranty becomes void.

Who is the Luxe for

The Luxe suits those looking for a well-maintained city bike with low maintenance and a relaxed, upright riding position. The mid-drive motor and hub gear make riding smooth and straightforward. To be honest: a belt drive and hub gear are harder to tinker with yourself than a chain and derailleur, and the bike is not compact for the train. If you want comfortable and low-maintenance riding for your daily trips, the Luxe fits perfectly. The hub gear can also be shifted while stationary, handy for those who often stop at traffic lights. This saves the hassle of backpedaling to get into the right gear.
