I have been a cyclist for about 20 years now, and have done 16 Argus tours. For the last one, due to advancing age, I decided to buy an e-bike. Chose one from Darrvin Cycles, after extensive research and finding competing bikes with similar components costing about 2x as much - Cannondale Synapse Neo vs Darrvin Evolve gravel. This is a great bicycle. It has a very predictable power assist when pedaling, and just gives as much assistance as you choose. I used level 2 mainly, and then a bit of level 3 on the climbs and enjoyed my Argus/ Cape Town Cycle tour immensely, completing it with battery power to spare. You still have to put in the effort, but it just makes the ride enjoyable if you have not quite had enough training. I highly recommend this bike.

I bought 2 Darrvin e bikes in December2020.Product is excellent and Gerts friendly service top notch.

We rented two e-bikes from Darvinn eBikes to cycle the CTCycle Tour on 10 October 2021. The service that we have received was exceptional. The e-bikes - 2 gravel bikes - was in excellent condition and we completed the race very comfortably with battery life left over. We pedaled downhills and flat road and only used the battery for uphill. We thoroughly enjoyed the race and will definitely make use of Darvinn eBikes again. We will also recommend Darvinn eBikes to anyone interested in renting an e-bike. Pieter and Monica Swart
