TURN YOUR BIKE
INTO E-BIKE

Good Quality, Parcel came quickly. Thanks

The company is quite responsive to questions, whether before purchase or during installation. They even ask for the brand of your bike and a photo to ensure compatibility. The paper template provided already helps confirm this.
The Spiny was very well-packaged and protected.
Their website claims installation takes a maximum of fifteen minutes, which seems a bit optimistic in my experience given the necessary adjustments (mounting, height, calibration, app, Bluetooth). The mounting bracket that screws onto the frame is asymmetrical and can be flipped 180° to modify the distance between the frame and the tire to adjust the Spiny.
My primary goal was to be able to keep up, especially on steep climbs, with the cyclists in my club where almost all of the hundred members have an e-bike. After a few group rides, I must say the Spiny does the job; I manage to keep up easily thanks to the boost from the Spiny motor and its 35 Nm of torque. With this in mind, the battery life is sufficient—I consume about 5% of the battery on each major climb.
The Bluetooth remote is surprisingly small (3x2 cm) and can be difficult to handle with gloves. It clips onto the handlebars (no screws), making it more fragile and easier to steal if not systematically removed. There is no indication of the assistance level or battery charge on it. The assistance level is shown by lights on the side of the battery, which aren't very visible to the rider. If you feel these lights compromise discretion, they can be turned off via the remote—which is the only way to do so, just like cutting the motor, as this isn't possible through the app.
This is the advantage of the remote: it allows you to do without a smartphone, leaving it free for navigation.
The motor makes a bit more noise than a standard e-bike, especially when the motor is cut and the lever flips up abruptly (clack).
In just a few seconds, the Spiny can be removed and taken with you, which is the best anti-theft measure!
Since the charger is very compact, it's easy to take along on touring trips.
Another advantage is that when the motor is disengaged, the roller does not rub against the tire at all.
Speaking of the tire, based on previous reviews, a slight downside is premature wear. I’ll see how it holds up over time.
Conclusion: The Spiny is a well-designed motor kit that is highly adaptable to most bikes. It’s a great compromise between a traditional bike and an e-bike when you still have enough "leg power"!

Man braucht es nicht unbedingt, aber es ist natürlich im Fahren leichter zu bedienen als das Smartphone. Ich möchte es nicht missen.

Tatsächlich einfach anzubauen. Die Lernvideos von Spiny waren sehr hilfreich.

ottimo

Definitely a game changer!! I am based in London and testing it for a month i am just enjoying it for how it assists me in my daily routine.Practical and easy to take it off when needed
Works with any weather and the team was great in explaining me how to setting it up.
Highly recommend it

Molto utile e facile da installare forse un pò rumoroso ma è il meno

Comprato Spiny e sono contentissssimo.
Va proprio bene sulla mia bicicletta.

I had a problem connecting my Bluetooth controller to my Spiny device. I received immediate assistance via WhatsApp, and it worked seamlessly. Perfect! Thank you so much! You're doing a great job, and I'm really happy with your product so far.

J'utilise Spiny depuis maintenant presque 2 mois quotidiennement et c'est vraiment super ! Ça marche super bien ! Installé sur mon vieux VTT, il se glisse facilement dans le sac à dos et je n'ai plus peur de laisser un vélo électrique trop convoité à la gare pour aller travailler ! De plus le service client est super réactif et aide vraiment bien pour l'installation. Je recommande à 2000% !

After some minor difficulties at the beginning due to the fitting of the motor kit into the bike while very little space to fit it in properly, even though we are not too left handed here. In the course of usage a somehow defect sensor made the kit stopp unexpectedly, which was a little anoying, but the very friendly team from SPINY were a very big help. After replacing the defect sensor with a brand new one, it is working just fine now and is such a joy to cruise uphill within our home town on a daily basis. (We don´t use it for holiday trips or longer adventures). We even enjoy the sound.
As far as we can tell after more than 6 months of using it, we can honestly recommend the kit.

Perfetto

It's a fantastic bit of kit, I have only used it a few times, it has helped me go up slopes with ease and makes my general riding speed faster than it would usually be without spiny.

The seller is very responsive, they are on whatsup and answered all my questions when I had questions about the installation process. I would highly recommend this.

Sehr gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis, die Angaben zu den Reichweiten stimmen überein, erfüllt meine Anforderungen exakt, Verwendung von anderen (stärkeren) Schrauben zum Beispiel Kreuzschlitzschrauben wäre meines Erachtens sinnvoll (filigraner Inbußschlüssel etwas umständlich), es wirken teilweise starke Kräfte auf die Halterungen; gutes und freundliches Service
