CGO800S or CGO800 Plus, which e-bike is right for me?

The CGO800 Plus is here, bringing exciting updates to our already well-loved step-through e-bike, the CGO800S. This latest model enhances versatility, control, power, and battery life while maintaining the signature sleek design, comfortable feel, and smooth ride that riders appreciate about the CGO800S. But how do these two models compare, and which one is best suited for your riding needs?

 

Chain or belt drivetrain

One of the most significant updates to this step-through model is its drivetrain. The CGO800 Plus is equipped with a SHIMANO CLARIS 8-speed drivetrain, offering greater control and adaptability to different terrains. This multi-speed system makes the CGO800 Plus an excellent choice for riders who frequently encounter moderate urban slopes and need greater speed control. The ability to shift gears provides a smoother and more efficient ride on varied city terrain.

The CGO800S features a single-speed Gates Carbon Belt, making it a fantastic low-maintenance option for those riding primarily on flat terrain. The carbon belt drive is clean, quiet, and durable, eliminating the need for frequent lubrication and maintenance.

 

Enhanced torque motor

Both models are equipped with a 250W rear hub motor, but the CGO800 Plus features the TENWAYS C9 motor, offering 45Nm of torque, a slight but noticeable increase from the 40Nm torque of the CGO800S Mivice M070 motor. This extra torque translates to better acceleration and climbing ability, making the CGO800 Plus ideal for riders who regularly tackle hills or want a more responsive ride.

Despite the power upgrade, both motors remain whisper-quiet, ensuring a smooth and discreet riding experience. Whether you're commuting through a quiet neighborhood or navigating busy streets, your ride remains nicely discreet, adding to the premium feel of both models.

 

Improved battery power

The CGO800 Plus boasts a larger 475.2Wh lithium-ion battery (36V, 13.2 Ah), a 27% increase over the CGO800S's 374.4Wh battery (36V, 10.4Ah). This enhanced capacity not only supports the extra power needed for inclines but also extends the overall range, allowing riders to travel greater distances on a single charge.

For those using their e-bike primarily for shorter, everyday commutes on flat terrain, the CGO800S's battery remains highly capable. However, if you want longer rides with fewer charging stops, the CGO800 Plus will give you the extra mileage you need.

 

Supports even more languages!

The CGO800 Plus has expanded language support on its fully integrated display. Now, riders can navigate their settings in German, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Danish, and English. This upgrade ensures a seamless experience for a wider range of users, making the CGO800 Plus a fantastic choice for different riders.

 

Additional upgrades

Beyond performance improvements, the CGO800 Plus includes several design and usability enhancements that contribute to a more refined riding experience:

  • Cleaner cabling gives the bike a sleeker, more sophisticated appearance while reducing visual clutter.
  • Longer mudguards offer better protection from splashes, keeping you drier in wet conditions.
  • An upgraded kickstand provides greater stability when parking, making it easier to secure your bike on various surfaces.

These small but impactful updates refine the overall feel and functionality of the CGO800 Plus, making every ride smoother and more enjoyable.

 

What hasn't changed?

Despite these new features, the CGO800 Plus retains the core elements that make the CGO800S so popular. Both models include:

  • A torque sensor for natural pedal assistance, ensuring a smooth and intuitive ride.
  • A suspension front fork for superior shock absorption, keeping your ride comfortable even on uneven roads.
  • A Selle Royal saddle, designed for maximum comfort on commutes.
  • Riser handlebars, which maintain an ergonomic riding position, reducing strain on the wrists and shoulders.

These shared features ensure that no matter which model you choose, you'll experience the smooth, comfortable ride that TENWAYS e-bikes are renowned for.

 

What's best for me?

Ultimately, choosing between these two step-through e-bikes comes down to your riding preferences. If you prefer a low-maintenance ride and primarily cycle on flat urban terrain with minimal hills, the CGO800S is an excellent choice. However, if your routes include moderate inclines or you appreciate the added versatility of a multi-speed chain drivetrain, the CGO800 Plus is the better option. Whichever you choose, you can rely on TENWAYS' signature comfortable and smooth rides to deliver easy and enjoyable e-biking experiences.
