Design and Build

Available in four striking colors—Avocado Green, Sky Blue, Midnight Black, and Pebble Grey—the CGO600 Pro stands out with its sleek, minimalist design.

“It is an E bike without looking like an E bike. To me, it looks a lot closer to a fixie,” said Momentum reviewer Angie Hughes, during her recent testing, available on our YouTube channel.

The aluminum frame and fork provide a robust yet lightweight structure, ensuring durability without compromising on ease of handling. The bike’s aesthetic appeal is further enhanced by the seamlessly integrated battery and sleek mudguards, which blend utility with good looks.

“The sleek battery design—you hardly even know it’s there,” Hughes added, highlighting the bike’s modern, almost futuristic look.

Performance and Power

At the heart of the CGO600 Pro is the Mivice M070 350W rear hub motor, delivering a smooth and almost silent ride with its refined 45 Nm torque. The motor’s assistance, capped at a top speed of 25 km/h (20 mph), provides ample power for city riding while adhering to local regulations. The 360 Wh portable battery offers an impressive range of up to 100 km on a single charge, making it perfect for daily commutes and weekend adventures alike.

“The battery is  portable. You can pop it right out, charge it inside while the bike stays outside, which to me is pretty much a no brainer,” Hughes explained. The range per charge is between 70 to 85 kilometers, depending on factors like rider weight and road conditions. With this battery, you can reach speeds up to 32 km/h.

Riding Experience

The Gates Carbon Belt Drive system is a standout feature, offering a maintenance-free alternative to traditional chain drives. This system ensures a clean, grease-free experience with no risk of rust, perfect for the urban rider. The single-speed drivetrain, combined with the Mivice S200 torque sensor, provides intuitive and responsive power delivery, making every ride effortless and enjoyable.

“The belt drive is a game-changer. It’s smooth, silent, and requires zero maintenance, said Hughes, who also praised the bike’s smart algorithms and magnetic torque sensor: “It just feels like I’m riding with super powered legs.”

The integrated front light, compliant with STVZO standards and boasting 35 Lux brightness, ensures visibility and safety during night rides. Additionally, the waterproof design (IPX4) makes this e-bike a trustworthy companion in various weather conditions.

Hughes said, “The hydraulic disc brakes are incredibly responsive, giving me confidence even in wet conditions.”
