They Look So Similar? Kol Max+ Ebike VS Drive Plus Ebike
When it comes to design and build, both Drive Plus ebike and Kol Max ebike have impressed us with their unique approaches with sitting posture of long hours rider in mind. Both ebikes take a more minimalist approach, focusing on clean lines, simplicity, and a utility over aesthetic thought. Kol Max+ ebike goes a little bit bolder, in terms of colour choices with option of orange tone.
Both electric bicycles are LTA approved within 20kg and uses a 20″ wheelsize for ride stability. Drive Plus holder uses a slightly longer handlebar for that extra leverage on maneuvering stability. But which one is right for you? If you prefer precision on comfort, Drive+ ebike might be the way to go. However, if you want an e-bike that makes a standing statement, Kol Max+ ebike is definitely worth considering.
Performance: Powering Your Ride
When it comes to performance, both e-bikes deliver (pun intended). Although both ebikes are 48V 250W motors; if you are pitting them side by side on an upslope you will find that Drive+ will slightly stand at a better inclination climb advantage at their max electrical assist mode as they are utilising different controller setting. Although Kol Max+ holds a slight advantage over using a slightly bigger crankset, this can only be advantageous without the electrical assistance.
Another notable difference will be during sharp turns. Kol Max+ ebike have a slightly lower pedal clearance than the 48V drive+. On turning across an uneven terrain there’s a possibility of scraping the base causing unnecessary power loss. What really sets the battery apart however is that Kol Max+ ebike do have a 4.4AH additional advantage to the Drive+ ebike; contributing to about additional 15km more mileage per full battery charge.
Which one do you need? If 60-70km per full charge is enough for you; all round Drive+ ebike, might be the better choice. However, if you want an e-bike that can keep up with up to 80km per full charge range, Kol Max+ ebike might be for you.
