The Blaupunkt Carla 190 is the ideal solution for those who wish to move quickly from one place to another.
Equipped with a smart mechanism, the Blaupunkt Carla 190 can be folded very easily and thus reduced to half its size. In just 4 steps, the folding electric bicycle becomes a handy "package". The low weight also ensures that it can be transported easily and comfortably on a bus, train, or subway.
The powerful 36-volt motor with 50 Nm torque offers perfect support, which together with the integrated and powerful lithium-ion battery, makes a perfect team. The motor is durable and for battery protection, the integrated BMS (Battery Management System) always ensures optimal energy supply.
The 5 levels of the motor are controlled through the easy-to-read LCD screen. It also provides important information such as the current battery life, route information, speed, and much more. The motor power can also be completely turned off or can serve as an auxiliary boost.
Specifications are collected from official manufacturer websites. Please verify the specifications before proceeding with your final purchase. If you notice any problem you can report it here.
The feelings for this bicycle are mixed. I will try to include the main pros and cons for anyone interested in buying it.
Pros:
1. Speed. Routes that previously took me 20 minutes on foot, I can now do in 4 minutes with the bicycle. Incredible time savings, especially if you use it to go to work. The description says that this bicycle can reach 25 kilometers per hour, but it easily reaches 30 kilometers per hour on a straight road, and even 40-42 kilometers per hour or more downhill (but don't try it).
2. Convenience. The pedal assistance is magical. With just two and a half pedal rotations, you feel a push, as if you're flying. It goes on its own! Your legs don't get tired like on a regular bicycle. You don't sweat, you don't get physically exhausted. The bicycle moves, and you only need to pedal occasionally to maintain the assistance.
3. Uphill. The bicycle has 5 levels of assistance. You can easily climb a steep uphill using just level 1 - you should try the other 4 as well. Just for uphill rides, it's worth every euro. People told me this, and I didn't believe it. It's a technological wonder that leaves you in awe every time you climb a long and difficult uphill in seconds. You wish you were in front of an uphill!
4. Portability. It folds so easily. It doesn't take up more space on the bus than a regular suitcase with wheels. You can take it everywhere. It's lightweight, around 13 kilograms. It charges in a standard socket in just a few hours. You can take it on vacation and have your own taxi...
Cons:
1. Safety. Unfortunately, the risk of accidents is VERY high. The wheels are tiny and delicate, so if you encounter a pothole, a stone, or debris on the road, you can easily fall. The brakes are completely inadequate, especially downhill. I would describe them as practically non-existent. I don't recommend going faster than 15 kilometers per hour downhill. If you brake downhill at a speed over 20 kilometers per hour, whether you do it very gently or slightly abruptly, your life is in danger. It's a VERY serious disadvantage: this bicycle is made for straight roads or uphill rides on roads with moderate traffic. I don't recommend it even as a joke on a highway. Going downhill, it's in your hands. If it had normal-sized wheels and decent brakes (disc brakes), I would give it 5 stars. Especially for safety alone, I give it half a star.
2. Battery life. I consider the advertised maximum distance of 70 kilometers completely utopian. With a full charge, the bike can go 40 kilometers, maybe 50 at most, if you ride exclusively on smooth roads. And I mean with intermittent use of assistance and always on the 1st level of the 5-level scale. If you use the assistance permanently and on the 5th level, I highly doubt it will last for 20 kilometers on a single charge... Let's be honest. 70 kilometers, simply NOT.
3. Weather and terrain conditions. In rainy conditions, it's out of the question to ride on a wet road with these short and thin wheels. Also, dirt roads and generally non-paved roads are not suitable.
Overall, this little bicycle is a solution for short trips. It saves you time, money, and energy in the city. It's not intended for anything else. Neither for long distances, nor for difficult areas, nor for villages with uneven roads, nor for highways, nor for sports, nor for speed races. If you have low expectations, it will cover you. If you are looking for something more, definitely look for a bicycle with larger wheels and a more serious braking system.
UPDATE. After 4 months and with the odometer already showing 500km, I have to add:
-The terrible brakes still limit you from reaching speeds above 30km/h, and many times you need to ride with a slight brake applied even on straight roads, in order to anticipate soft braking in case of an approaching vehicle. You learn to ride with the brake constantly applied.
-With simple assistance usage at 1/5, the battery lasts a maximum of 20km distance, tested. And I say this as a woman weighing 42kg. For a man weighing over 70kg, speed 1 is not enough. You have to switch to 4th or 5th gear to get a push, and at that point, the battery lasts less than 10km per charge. If you are tempted by the advertisement claiming 70km endurance, believe me, for an average-weight person, 15km is the average.
-It charges exactly in 3.5 hours, full. You don't go anywhere without the charger with you.
-The tires need to be pumped every two weeks, as a standard.
-Although it is made for asphalt and flat surfaces, it has taken me unscathed through dirt roads in Crete, uneven terrain, uphill and downhill slopes, here at the foothills of Psiloritis - and whoever understands, understands.
-The risk of accidents decreases over time. If you are used to a conventional bicycle, it takes you a month to adjust, but then you love it. It's all a matter of adaptation.
The bicycle offers exactly what is stated in its description. It is lightweight, folds easily, and the electric assistance makes pedaling very comfortable. The small wheels do not pose a problem if you avoid potholes and reduce speed in difficult areas. The range depends on the level of assistance you use, (for example, consistently choosing the 2nd or 3rd level will last about 25-30 km). The brakes, although they are v-brakes, are satisfactory. It is a good choice for medium distances within the city
If the road is not smooth and the wheel enters an unnoticed gap, you fall with a great risk of being run over by a car
First of all, it is very beautiful (it catches people's attention as they say on shopping star...). I have had it for almost 1.5 years. Right from the start, it had a problem: while I was stationary under the bicycle, it would suddenly move on its own!!! I thought I was pushing it with my foot by touching the pedal... This happened many times and if I didn't hold onto it, it would have flown off the sidewalk into the street, risking an accident!!! I sent it to the dealership (Thessaloniki via GERMANOS) and it came back OK (they changed the computer within the warranty) after 1+ month, but dirty (with oil on the frame) and with a broken plastic lock base on the saddle... Other than that, the main problem is the small wheels that require attention when driving - getting used to it. Now there is a noise coming from the motor, while at first it was silent. My friend is right when he says that the levers of the frame and handlebar get stuck when folding it, due to a strange ball in the mechanism, and it tires you until you find it. Other than that, it is good with a powerful motor and a long battery life (depending on usage) of about 50-60 kilometers.
Serious issues, design for a brand new bike that I just bought!
1. Difficult to climb, from the first moment, due to a serious problem with the saddle support, that is, the lever that is supposed to tighten it, does not tighten enough, it only tightens around the frame, and not the tube! (maybe a missing extra inner tube?)
2. Folding is very difficult because the lever of the central hinge has a trick with an inner ball (for safety) but it is EXTREMELY hard, and it does not always go back into place, making it almost impossible to open and fold.
3. Minor problem, the position of the computer - it is completely wrong on the handlebar, and to change it, you need a key (not a screwdriver) which should have been provided! Luckily, I had one, but still difficult with the position of the screws and brakes.
(The site does not allow me to upload videos showing details)
I had no experience with either a folding city bike or an electric one.
I bought it through skroutz with the "moving electrically" subsidy program.
I have had it for about 2 months.
As for the construction, it seems quite good to me, the folding parts fit well. It is somewhat small in size, in order to be light and convenient for transportation (e.g. on the metro). Its weight is not big, but it is not feather-light either, I would describe it as normal.
Usually, I don't break it and I don't carry it on the metro, but I take short rides near my home (Athens).
In terms of usability, I wouldn't call it comfortable compared to a regular large city bike or a mountain bike. Mainly because of its size and small wheels, it is a bit more difficult to ride.
For me, you can easily do a few kilometers in the city, but not go up and down sidewalks and stairs. That is, you can do 5-10 km flat before it tires you.
The assistance is something else. It has 5 levels that can be adjusted by a small control with a screen on the handlebar. Even with level 1, you can go comfortably. If you put it on level 5, motorcycles and traffic lights won't catch up with you. You just pedal and the battery gives torque to the rear wheel.
However, you need to pay a lot of attention on the road so you don't get hit.
The battery charges in about 3-4 hours and it lasts for about 12-16 km for me, depending on usage.
Personally, I got it for short rides in Athens but also for vacations - islands, etc., where it can easily be folded and put in the trunk.
If someone is looking for a city electric bike, it is probably a good choice, especially with the program discount (40%).
---
To enter the program, there is a process on the Ministry's platform, that is, you get a written offer from the store and some other documents and you submit them electronically, your application is approved, you buy it (100% of the price), and once that is done, you send a second round of paperwork (that it is new, meets the program's specifications, updates, etc.). After they are examined, they credit you with the subsidy amount (40% without including VAT).
I hope I helped.
:)
Excellent for city commuting!
