Perfect upgrade for a 7 speed freewheel for any geared motor ebike This thing combined with the 52 tooth front chainring on my ebike lets me pedal at a steady 37 mph and still feel resistance in the pedals in 7th gear it could even go faster if I could pedal faster, even the lower gears are improved 6th is good for 30+ mph, 5th for 25, 4th for 19 all actually letting me put in effort at various pedal assist levels for example pas 3 on my bike cuts off at 24 mph 5th gear lets me pedal at 25... so the motor only kicks in if i drop below 24. improving efficiency. it's even better at lower gears and settings because the motor uses less wattage when it is needed.

I have used this seven speed 11-28T freewheel to replace the 14-28T Shimano freewheel on a couple of e-bikes. I wish that e-bike manufacturers would use a 11-28T freewheel as standard equipment. With the replacement I enjoy a slower cadence in 6th and 7th gears and can go up to 27% faster. Well worth the cost and effort in replacing the freewheel. Note that the shifter cable will need to be adjusted at the derailer by turning the knob CCW once the freewheel has been swapped. Recommended.

A voir dans le temps, excellent pour le remplacement d'une roue libre e-bike 14/28.Pour le montage, compter 1h en prenant son temps.Permet d'obtenir une vitesse de pointe plus importante et plus de résistance au pédalage sur le dernier rapport.

Wanted to eliminate "ghost pedaling" (a/k/a hamster pedaling) in the upper gears of my e-bike (Bee Cool Explorer). This was a fairly easy upgrade, the hardest part is removing the old freewheel (you need the special freewheel tool and a long breaker bar attached to it). Once this new piece installed, I indexed my derailer to the new freewheel (there are dozens of you tube videos showing how easy this is) and then re-lubed my chain. I was quite impressed with how well my chain meshed with the teeth of this freewheel and how smoothly she shifted.I've eliminated the hamster effect of pedaling at higher speeds with no effect (akin to pedaling when you're going downhill). I will say that even in the mid-ranges, I feel more leg muscles working too, an added benefit for my old bones! I opted for staying with the 28T large gear and not going for the 32T or 34T. I live in Florida and we just don't have the kind of hills to need super-low gearing, otherwise I would have gone for it.

I bought this freewheel almost two years ago and remember how frustrated I was because I had spent a lot of time and simply could not get the 11 teeth sprocket work without slipping. I kind of stopped using the bike for a good year year because of that but recently started over and even bought a new chain (the old one was not worn) and still no success. First of all, as shown in other reviews, the teeth are oddly shaped and partially almost completely missing. That is the case even on the 11 and 13 teeth sprockets, even though it is clear that for these the entire chain tension is carried by only maybe 7 teeth, and yet they still put in these stupid rounded and way too short teeth. Now after replacing the chain (and the old one had accumulated a bit of dirt on the grease) I can clearly see to the side of the 11 teeth sprocket that the chain was in fact running on the freewheel shaft, instead of on the 11 teeth sprocket itself, I can clearly see the grease spots from the chain on the shaft, and the wear. Again, the brand new chain did not help here, it maybe made is worse, as it seems to slip even more. Overall, this is just a stupid design. It is possible that 11 teeth sprockets can work, if the freewheel shaft is smaller in diameter, or if there's normally shaped teeth, but the way they sold this, it just cannot work properly - by design!

My e-bike came with a 14-28t freewheel. I was ghost pedaling at 20mph. Switching to this 11-28 freewheel totally solved that problem. I can manage reasonable input above 28mph now. This was a great first step. I was also going to change my front chain ring from a 42t to a 46t, but held off because I would have needed to replace the whole crank set and get a larger chain. I’m glad I waited because just changing to a freewheel with an 11t vs the 14t made a huge improvement. I’ve only had it on for a couple of weeks so I can’t speak to the longevity. No problems yet and the install was easy with the optional removal tool they sell. The opening on the tool was the largest I have seen and I think will accommodate most quick release motor connections. Now I can still get exercise while traveling quickly. It’s good for keeping up with traffic or using less watts to extend my range in peddle assist 4 or 5.

I was reluctant to get this but I’m a sucker for new stuff. The chain spins up and down and all around the cogs nicely. Having the 11 tooth on a freewheel is a game changer. More top speed! It’s a good upgrade for my cheap ebike and it would be a good upgrade to an old bike you wanted to refresh.

Ich habe an meinem Falt E-Bike den Schraub-Zahnkranz (Freilau) von 14 bis 28 T gegen diesen 7fach Schraub-Zahnkranz von 11 bis 28 T ausgetauscht. Damit man auf gerade Strecke im 7. Gang keinen Leerlauf hat und es hat sich gelohnt. Für den Preis ist er nicht ganz billig, aber von der Qualität ist er gut und ich werde sehen wie es sich bewährt. Es gibt auch diesen Zahnkranz von 11 bis 34, aber ich finde den Sprung vom 6. auf den 7. Gang von 24 auf 34 zu groß, was zu Schaltproblemen führen kann oder man nimmt eine längere Kette.Mein Tipp, einen guten Freilauf Zahnkranz-Abnehmer verwenden und diesen mit dem Hinterrad in einen Schraubstock spannen und dann das Rad gegen den Uhrzeigersinn drehen, so geht das lösen ohne großen Kraftaufwand am besten.

I haven’t used it yet.It seems like someone found Shimano’s tooling for the rare & discontinued “Mega 7” that is written about and pictured on Sheldon Brown’s site, and, with or without Shimano’s permission, resumed production.But the edges of the cogs and the surface finish appear to have missed some finishing steps before chrome plating that Shimano wouldn’t let fly on their $10 freewheels or cassettes.It probably will work fine. It is definitely too wide to be using on a wheel laced & spaced for 5 or 6 speed.

Piñonera de rosca muy bien acabada, a un precio aceptable. Siete coronas que van de la 11 a la 28. Yo cambié la antigua 14/32 por que buscaba un poco más de desarrollo y a ido perfecta, no he tenido que modificar nada más.
