How to ride a bicycle without tiring -- Detailed review of Yunma C1 motorcycle

ide0007

"I'm not tired at all. I've been riding for three days and nights, and now I feel light enough to fly..." When determining the title of this evaluation report, the lyrics of this song suddenly appeared in my mind, which is also the real feeling of the author after riding Cloud Horse C1 for several days.

When talking about electric vehicles, many people think of the appearance of motorcycles. The kind with pedals, even if there is a bicycle style, is stupid and heavy. Before I saw Yunma C1, I never thought that electric cars could be designed so fashionable and light.

In a city like Imperial Capital, which cannot be measured at a general scale, even the travel by subway is calculated by hour, so there are few people riding bicycles, most of them are electric vehicles. I take the subway to work every day. My home is about 1.8km away from the subway station. I bought an ordinary bike and rode it every day. It takes about half an hour to go one way. I am envious of the electric vehicles that are running fast around me, and I always want to have a ride. Also at this time, thanks very much for the trial of Lei Feng.com, and chose me to become the experience user of Yunma C1.

After nearly two months of waiting, we finally received Yunma C1. At first, I didn't expect to win the bid, so the address was left by the company. I wanted to change it to my home address, but it was unsuccessful. So I was very depressed when I received this super express. I didn't know how to get it home.

Open the box happily

Since the cloud horse C1 was received during working hours, there was no way to take external photos. In order not to affect the work, we had to drag it to the basement of the company and planned to secretly take a time to unpack and assemble it. Because the company is about 20 kilometers away from my home, we can either find a car to pull home, or we can only assemble and ride back.

The box of Yunma is very large and heavy. The author can't carry it alone, so he can only drag it along. Due to express transportation, the outer package has been worn severely, but fortunately there are no holes, and the package is tight.

Inside the box is a whole frame. The car body, wheels and transmission components are all assembled. Fortunately, both wheels are inflated. Although they are not enough, the riding is OK. So the author decided to assemble Yunma C1 and ride home! The official said that Yunma C1 weighs 16KG. The author tried to lift it and found that most of the weight was concentrated in the rear, so it was easy to lift the whole vehicle.

Be sure to read the instructions before installing. Yunma C1 brought a lot of things with the car. Most of them were very artistic postcards, thank-you letters, cards and other promotional materials. The instructions were also very simple. They simply introduced how to assemble and use them. It was easy to understand. After all, they were not particularly complicated equipment. There are two cartons, one is the battery, the other is the charging line, pedals and installation tools.

Let's take a look at the heart of these two Yunma C1. There is a box behind the bicycle seat. Basically, all the intelligent cores of the two bicycles are here. The two bulges on the right are used to connect the battery clips, and the yellow lock tongue in the middle is used to lock the battery. In order to prevent the battery from being stolen, Yunma C1 is equipped with a battery lock and two keys. If you want to remove the battery, you must use the key to open the lock before you can remove it. The black box is integrated with the black body of the car and looks very beautiful.

The battery of Yunma C1 uses 20 Samsung high-density lithium battery cells, which are designed to be orange, beautiful and eye-catching, and very beautiful with black. The battery is not big. There is a switch and a strip of LED indicators on it. This row of indicators can not only be used to display the power, but also be used as a warning tail light.

There is a four core interface at the bottom of the battery, through which the battery can be charged and the circuit system on the bicycle can also be connected. What's more, the battery is on the inside, and there is a USB interface. Through this interface, the battery can be used as a huge mobile power supply to charge the mobile phone. There is no problem to charge the phone for ten times or eight times.

In order to ride home later, the author charged the battery first, and saw that there was still about 25% of the power when charging. According to the official, it can be fully charged within 3 hours. When charging, the four indicator lights will flash in turn. When fully charged, they will all go out. The indicator lights of the transformer on the charging line will also go out, so as to avoid overcharging and intelligently protect the battery. According to the author's test, there is basically no problem in three hours of filling, which is very good.

Another core part different from ordinary bicycles is the transmission unit on the rear wheel. This wheel core, which is not much bigger than an ordinary bicycle, is equipped with a built-in motor. Although there is no inquiry about what motor is used, the author found that this motor is very sensitive in use. After all, it is equipped with a three-axis acceleration sensor, and the rear wheel can give timely forward power. The main reason for riding Yunma C1 is this motor, The riding experience will be described in detail later.

The author found two labels on the motor of the rear wheel, 36V and 20s respectively. 36V should be the voltage of the motor, but the meaning of 20s was not understood. During the use, no function was found that is consistent with 20s, and the official did not introduce it.

Well, after seeing the appearance of the car, start to assemble it!

Simple installation

According to the instructions, first remove all the foam packaging, cut the binding rope, and then use the hexagonal socket screwdriver in the attached tool to loosen the screws on the handlebar.

The top of the handlebar is a cover mounted on a flying saucer. It is very simple to remove the whole handlebar by screwing it off. However, the author found that in the process of twisting, it is inevitable to scrape off some of the black paint, which is somewhat painful. After unscrewing the cover, the sleeve of the handlebar can be removed.

The two fixing screws on the handlebar must also be loosened to turn the handlebar, remove the handlebar from the top, then install the sleeve before, and then install the handlebar, which is an adjustment order.

Then install the cover, adjust the direction of the handlebar and the front wheel, maintain a straight line, and tighten the screws to complete the handlebar assembly. The frame of Yunma C1 not only model and handlebar is designed according to the road bicycle, but also all the screws are hexagonal socket screws. The advantage of such screws is that they are not easy to slip off and are easy to disassemble.

Finally, install the pedals in the order of left and right feet, and use the simple wrench sent to tighten the pedals. Then, Yunma C1 is assembled. It didn't take more than half an hour from unpacking to installation, including the time for bicycle research and photography. It can be seen that installation is very simple.

First Ride

The first time I rode Cloud Horse C1, I was a little excited. After riding on it, I found that although the wheels of Yunma C1 are not big, the frame is very high. The author is 175 tall, even if it is a short leg. Put the seat of Yunma C1 to the lowest. After riding on it, I have to stand on tiptoe to barely support the ground. Seen from the above photo, does Yunma C1 look very small? In fact, the first reason is that the author is a 160 kg fat paper, and the second reason is that in winter, the clothes are quite bulky. So Yunma C1 is very small in comparison.

The overall structure of Yunma C1 is based on the road bike, so when riding on it, the body will lean forward and the center of gravity will be more in the front half. The forward leaning body is also conducive to reducing wind resistance and facilitating riding.

The first ride was full of surprises for the author. The power assisted system of Yunma C1 was really easy to use.

It must be clear to everyone who has ridden a bicycle that it takes the most effort when starting, because you need to raise the speed first. On the contrary, when the bicycle moves at a constant speed, you can basically keep going without too much effort. Yunma C1 is to help riders start easily and make the most tiring steps easier.

When riding Yunma C1, the author usually starts with his right foot first. When he steps on the right foot enough, the power assist system of Yunma C1 starts automatically, and he can clearly feel that there is power to push the bike forward. At this time, if he continues to step on the pedal, he will easily enter a constant speed. The same is true in the riding process. When Yunma C1 feels that the user is struggling to step on the pedals, it will also intelligently give assistance and push. So as long as you ride on the Yunma, you can basically ride with ease, without any effort, except for a slightly strenuous step in the starting lap.

For the first time, the total distance is about 20 kilometers, and the telephone cost is about 1 hour. Most of the time is hybrid driving. The full power driving is about 3 kilometers, and there is still 25% electricity left at home.

The official introduction of the power assist system of this Yunma C1 is that there are five gears available from 100% pedal to 100% power. According to the author's test, the so-called five gears are 100% pedal, that is, riding as an ordinary bicycle without turning on the power; Turn on the power supply and ride with hybrid power. The hybrid power has three different gears, which can be selected through the intelligent code meter beside the right handlebar; Finally, it has 100% power, which is used purely as an electric vehicle.

When I first rode, I still didn't understand how to ride with full power, and I didn't understand it when I read the instructions. Finally, I kept testing during the ride to make it clear, which will be introduced in detail later.

Detailed introduction

Finally, I rode Yunma C1 home. I was not tired at all after 20 kilometers. The only place I felt uncomfortable was the pain in my buttocks. The next day was just New Year's Day holiday, and it was sunny without haze. The author would like to introduce this Yunma C1 in all aspects.

Look at the handlebars first in the order from front to back. Yunma C1 adopts a straight handlebar design. There are three accessories on the handlebar, namely the bell, mobile phone rack and code meter. The original brake is slightly lower, which is a little inconvenient to use for the first time. However, because the screws of the brake are relatively small, and the hexagonal wrench provided with the car can't be used, so it can't be adjusted. You have to sell tools to adjust it.

Because it is a man's model, the author can just hold the brake with his big hand, and has been used to riding for several days.

The braking system of Yunma C1 adopts the traditional line brake system, which is moderate in strength, relatively soft, and has good cushioning. It can be seen that Yunma C1 has been debugged when it leaves the factory, and has a good feel.

The brakes on the wheels are also very well made, and have a manual adjustment design. Turning the silver wrench can easily adjust the tightness of the brakes. Users can also adjust the most comfortable position according to their own preferences. Anyway, I think the default is very good, and there is no adjustment.

The two ends of the handlebar are round sections, which look very nice. The handshake part has an extension in the palm area, because the body leans forward when riding, so this part can be well supported to the palm, making the body a natural bending angle, reducing waist fatigue. The colloid handle feels good too. The anti slip design of diagonal stripes makes it comfortable and firm to hold it.

The bell uses a common ringing bell. It can be bought for a few yuan on Taobao, but the sound is still quite clear. It is much more beautiful and pleasant than the traditional ringing bell.

Next to it is the mobile phone holder that comes with the car. The holder looks ordinary both in terms of packaging and quality. The only thing worth mentioning is that the holder that clamps the mobile phone on both sides is of pneumatic design, which has some advantages.

For the first time, the author installed the mobile phone rack and clipped it on it. Unfortunately, the mobile phone fell off directly with the rack after the vehicle bumped a little after just riding a short distance. Fortunately, the mobile phone was not broken

The reason was that the clip on the back of the mobile phone rack was too loose. It was not locked when it was installed, but just hung on it. It would fall off with a gentle shake, which showed that it was cheap and not good! Personally, if the quality of the accessory is not up to the standard, it would be better not to give it away. If it is sold to users together with Yunma C1, it will only lower users' impression and evaluation of Yunma C1. If you want to send it, you should send it a high-quality and easy-to-use one that matches the fashion and quality of Yunma C1.

Finally, the author fixed the mobile phone rack with wide tape to ensure that it would not fall down when riding. Although the back is not very beautiful, at least the front looks OK, and it is barely usable.

There is a small extension in the middle of the handlebar, which makes the distance between the handlebars longer. Otherwise, the wheels with such a small diameter will not be able to ride. The middle part of the handlebar is also very beautiful, with a hollow design, and a two-dimensional code printed in the middle. This two-dimensional code is unique. By scanning the two-dimensional code through the mobile app, you can bind it to the Yunma C1.

Finally, focus on the control center of Yunma C1, the intelligent code meter. Everyone should be familiar with the code meter, which is basically the data information such as the actual vehicle speed. The code meter of Yunma C1 can not only display the current speed, but also display the remaining power and power level. It can also adjust the power level through the two buttons on the right.

The small wrench on the right is the controller for 100% full power forward movement. Although the author learned from the instruction manual that this small wrench is used to control full power driving, the author did not respond after several attempts. It felt like taking a chance. Sometimes full power driving occurs, and sometimes there is no response.

After repeated attempts, it was later discovered that it was not always necessary to pull the small wrench to enter the 100% power mode. Instead, when Yunma C1 appeared in the power assisted mode during riding, the motor began to supply power. When the small wrench was pulled, it would enter the full power mode.

According to the author's test, basically the speed of full power mode can be about 20 kilometers per hour, and the fastest speed is just over 21 kilometers. If you are riding uphill or against the wind, it is about 16 kilometers. Officially, it can reach 25km, which is really impossible. I don't know whether it is officially tested by riding downwind.

The state stipulates that the maximum speed of electric vehicles should not exceed 25 kilometers per hour, and Yunma C1 is completely legal. The author rode the full power Cloud Horse C1 and looked at the illegal electric vehicles that passed at least 30 kilometers per hour. He felt that he was a good law-abiding citizen!

At the bottom of this smart code meter, there is a USB interface with a rubber cover. When you use your mobile phone while riding, you can use this interface to charge your mobile phone, which is very convenient. The design team of Yunma C1 can say that it really thinks about the users in detail and takes into account every need of users.

The whole handlebar is basically like this. From the top, the handlebar is not a straight line, but presents a certain radian. This design looks more beautiful, and the author likes it very much.

Let's take a look at the headlights of Yunma C1. The headlight is integrated in the front of the car, which is composed of a circle of daytime running lights and four middle night running lights. When the power supply of Yunma C1 is turned on, the daytime running lights will be on and cannot be turned off. The author saw from the communication circle of app that some users said they wanted to turn off the daytime running light, saying it was too silly to drive it in the daytime. In fact, since January 1, 2010, China has started to implement the national standard Photometric Performance of Daytime Running Lights of Vehicles issued on March 6, 2009. Daytime running lights are turned on in the daytime not for decoration, but to inform other vehicles that a car is coming. Turning on daytime running lights when driving abroad can reduce 12.4% of vehicle accidents and 26.4% of fatalities in traffic accidents. Although the above data refer to motor vehicles, Yunma C1 can demand itself according to the standard of motor vehicles. The author thinks it is very desirable, and this serious and responsible attitude is very commendable.

The switch of the night running light is on the top of the headlight, which can be easily pressed even when riding. After the author's experience, the night driving light is not the direct light commonly seen in flashlights, but covers the front of the car about 10 meters wide and about 20 meters long. It's enough to ride at night in the city.

The details of the front wheel are also shown to you. The side is also a hexagonal socket screw, but none of them can be turned with the complimentary hexagonal socket screwdriver. They don't match. You have to buy a screwdriver alone.

The air nozzle of Yunma C1 uses a normal mouth, which is different from the beautiful mouth of common bicycles. For this reason, the author also specially bought an air cylinder. Interestingly, the front and rear wheels of Yunma C1 each have a red stripe, which is very beautiful as decoration, and it rotates beautifully during cycling.

Because the car I got is a man's model, so the frame is a beam structure. The triangle frame is very stable, and it is also convenient to lift the bike by grasping the beam with one hand.

Like many racing cars, Yunma C1 has reserved a place under the beam for installing the car mounted kettle rack, so users can purchase accessories for installation.

The seat of Yunma C1 is similar to the seat of Giant and other racing cars, with a curved design and a slot.

But this seat is the most uncomfortable place for the author to feel for the whole Yunma C1. It doesn't matter if I just ride on it. After a long time, the bulges on both sides will hurt my buttocks. It's uncomfortable to move. I feel very hard. After a long ride, my buttocks and inner thighs will hurt. I don't know if the seats of racing cars all feel this way. The author has purchased silicone seat covers from a treasure, hoping to ease the uncomfortable feeling.

The height, forward and backward movement, and up and down movement of the seat can be adjusted, but the same is true, only the height can be adjusted through the complimentary screwdriver, and the others are not matched. It is hoped that Yunma can provide a complete set of hexagonal screwdriver when it leaves the factory. It can also be sold for less than 10 yuan on a certain treasure, but it can greatly facilitate the use and adjustment of users and improve the user experience.

Below the car seat is the battery. This is the appearance after installation. The color matching is very good. As a designer, the author likes the color scheme of Yunma C1, and the battery design is also very beautiful.

The battery will be locked automatically after installation, and can only be removed after being opened by the key. After the battery is installed, it needs to be connected to the power supply on the body, which is slightly inconvenient. The plug-in and unplugging of the four core power cord are very laborious, and the interface is under the battery, which may be hidden to the bottom for the sake of beauty, but it is difficult to install and unplug. The author could not install it well when installing it for the first time. Fortunately, I have become proficient after many times, and I can basically install it smoothly.

Next is the foot pedal area, where Yunma's logo is everywhere. The brand awareness is really strong. The foot pedal of Yunma C1 has a lot of bulges. If the sole is thin, stepping on it will hurt your feet, but it still looks strong.

The rear brake of Yunma C1 is also the same as the front one, which is easy to adjust. This bicycle has its own characteristics in the braking design. It adopts the power off braking mode. When the system center senses the user's braking, it will automatically interrupt the power supply to brake as quickly as possible, which is very intelligent.

The chain of Yunma C1 is completely exposed. It is inevitable that the right pants will rub with the chain when riding. Fortunately, the author has ridden for so long, and no events such as trouser leg rolling or chain dropping have occurred. The whole thing is smooth.

Take a look at the rear wheel of Yunma C1. Basically, all the power outputs are here. As mentioned above, a small motor can provide strong power. I really want to praise one.

The tires of Yunma have clear lines. Because the author has been riding for a period of time, it will not appear black as the new one. It was taken after wiping. Road racing is not like mountain racing. The tyres are thin and the grain is shallow, but it does not affect the speed of the vehicle.

On the outside of the wheel, there are also some parameters of the wheel, such as how much air pressure, which the author can't understand, so I just want to introduce more. This is about user experience. Because of the road racing, the wheels are small, the tires are thin, and the whole Yunma C1 has no shock absorption system, which leads to the obvious feeling of cyclists when there are some potholes or stones on the road, especially the rear wheels, which have a strong sense of turbulence. It always feels like the car is flat. It seems that Yunma C1 is more suitable for riding on flat urban roads.

The transmission system of the rear wheels has also been introduced before, so I won't repeat it too much. Take a look at the details. It's still very beautiful.

Used with app

Long press to turn on the power, and you can ride. If you want to use Yunma C1 completely, you must cooperate with the mobile app. Scan the QR code on the manual and download it.

At the beginning, the app will let the user select the vehicle model, and naturally select Yunma C1. Then it will scan the QR code on the handlebar for binding, and then you can enter the main interface to see the vehicle's power condition. There is a headlight control switch on the main interface. I don't know why the author found that it didn't work when he clicked it.

One of the main functions of the app is the code meter. The app starts to record before the start of the ride, and the app interface will display the current speed, riding time, distance and other data. If you want accurate data, you still need to start GPS positioning, and you can record this journey after the end.

It can also be seen from the app that several people around are also using the cloud horse. The author tested it and found that only Chaoyang in Beijing has one cloud horse running, which is still very lonely.

Another function of the app is to detect the health status of the vehicle. The program will automatically conduct a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle and report the results. The author's Yunma C1 is brand new, so I don't know how the app will prompt when there is a problem, so it can't be tested.

In addition to using the app to communicate with car friends, you can also customize your car so that car friends can see the data of your Yunma C1. You can also upgrade the firmware of your car and restore factory settings here.

In fact, the functions of the app are not complicated, and the author spends more time on riding. This picture is a cycling record recorded by the author using Baidu Maps. When riding, you can record cycling data with some map apps at the same time, which is also a good choice.

Summary and suggestions

The author likes this Yunma C1 very much, and has too many words to say. But after all, this is an evaluation, and I have to say more about my feelings about this bike.

After about a week's experience, the biggest feeling of Yunma C1 for the author is that it is labor-saving and easy to ride, looks fashionable and cool, and all kinds of convenient operation and design are not thanks to the electric bicycle known as "the most knowledgeable young people". Of course, what you want to see is not only a little, but also some shortcomings. The author will summarize some of the shortcomings felt during the experience here.

1. No shock absorption, strong sense of turbulence, only suitable for walking on flat urban roads;

2. The level of gifts is not high enough, either they are not free, or they should be of better quality, so as not to affect the user experience;

3. The code meter trip record in the app can't be run in the background. Maybe it's a problem with the author's mobile phone settings. The recording automatically stops in the background;

4. The power wiring of the battery is a little troublesome and not easy to install;

5. Finally, the biggest disadvantage is that Cloud Horse C1 is too cool. OK! It's too piercing to park outside! Always worried about losing! The author bought a huge car lock of more than 100 yuan and locked it on the iron railing! When you leave the car, you should put the battery on your back. My friend also suggested that you wrap the car with tape to make it look shabby and prevent thieves from staring at it

The author went to the bicycle shop and found that for the same 2000 yuan, he could only buy a slightly good variable speed car. However, Yunma C1 is not only faster than others, but also more durable. It is also 20 kilometers long. It is tiring to vomit blood when riding a normal bicycle, while riding Yunma C1 is easy. It is really a bicycle that is not tired when riding. It is hoped that such bicycles can be popularized and everyone can contribute to energy conservation and environmental protection.
