Tenways CGO800s

For Starters

The Tenways CGO800s is a purpose built cruiser bike with a simple, sleek design worthy of a tech-engineer’s dreams. Any Tenways bike I have received has arrived in a standard bike box. Inside that box you will find a very nicely packed bike that is around 80-85% assembled. It comes with all the tools you need to install the handle bars, front fender, front wheel, and the pedals.

Design & Comfort

The Tenways CGO800s has simplicity written all over it with a single speed, belt driven drivetrain and the display built right into the stem. There is no clutter in this cockpit. Add an upright riding style to a step thru design and an SR Suntour front fork and this city cruiser is also built for comfort. They’ve even added a rear rack and fenders to make this your go-to errand runner, no matter the weather.

Motor Power

The Tenways CGO800s has a 350 watt rear hub motor with 45 Nm of torque, and it’s a true class 1 eBike with a 20 mph max pedal assist and no throttle. I found that on flat ground I was able to comfortable cruise at 16-17 mph before I felt spun out. Tenways claims this bike can handle 15% grades on hills but will be limited by your strength. I took it to my 19% eBike testing hill and it definitely gave me a work, though I did make it to the top.

Lighting & Safety

The Tenways CGO800s has a front headlight as well as a rear taillight with built in turn signals. If you are going to be doing any riding at dawn/dusk or after dark, you owe it to yourself to check out magicshine.com and use my code “RunBikeMike15” for 15% off your purchase.

Brakes & Tires

The Tenways CGO800s comes with Tektro hydraulic disc brakes which watchers of my channel know I’m a fan of. The tires are 700 x 48c with a nice street tread for a comfortable ride.

Drivetrain

The Tenways CGO800s is equipped with a Gates carbon belt drive. This is a single speed set up with zero maintenance, zero slipped chains, and zero rattle. The belt should be good to go for over 10,000 miles, which for a lot of riders is more than a lifetime of riding. The simplicity of this system is absolutely wonderful, but it will limit you on top speed and what kind of hills you can climb.

Battery

The Tenways CGO800s is a 36 volt system powered by a 10.4 Ah battery claiming around 370 Wh. Tenways claims this is good enough for up to 53 miles of range depending on external conditions. The batteries are perfectly color matched to each of the three frame color options, and they can be charged on or off the bike in about 3-4 hours for a full charge.
