Why BESV? The company behind the brand

Good Morning All,

I felt compelled to write this email because virtually no one knows who BESV is, who is behind the brand, and why it makes sense to choose us vs and other brand.

BESV falls under Darfon, and Darfon falls under the BenQ Group, comprised of 16+ companies that drive the Number 1 tech company in Taiwan.  The companies mantra is: “Bringing Enjoyment ‘N’ Quality to Life”.

BenQ has over 50,000 employees in all their divisions and does over $20B in revenue annually.

The founder of BESV is the CEO of Darfon, and an avid rider.  BESV came about when Andy Su (CEO of Darfon) held his annual ride with his employees.  Many of them really suffered on the hills outside of Taipei.  He wanted a better experience for all that participated and was well aware of the developments in E-bikes.  His company was already developing batteries and displays, so the tech side was covered.  Others in the company created designs, which lead to the birth of the brand BESV, Beautiful, Electric, Smart, Vehicles.

Why BESV

• World class support and technology
• We are here to stay, with the financial support to keep innovating
• BESV is the only company that has invested in their Reps with hands on training (scheduled for January)
• As a company, you come first, with no pressure for heavy commitments.  We want the best shops
• In conjunction with our “No Pressure” program, we offer reasonable terms, but not NET forever, that just benefits the manufacturer and puts the dealer at a disadvantage. The lure to order more is to great.  We want to support dealers to to turns!
• BESV believes that our partners should be compensated to do work when a warranty issue arises.  No one should be asked to work for “FREE”
• Our bikes use “Smart Technology” for our batteries and chargers.  That means that they communicate and do not charge in a linear motion, but rather in a controlled to 80%, there by increasing battery life
• All parts in stock, and if not, we will make it in stock (borrow from a bike)

Written Review

 

The Magnum Ui5 is an urban model electric bike, offering fifth generation technology, that is perfect for riding around the city. The motor is a 350 watt internally geared hub mounted in the rear wheel. Magnum chose a black version of the motor that beautifully matches the spokes, rims, and battery. Depending on the level of power you’re applying, the motor hums a little, however, it is not very loud or heavy. Additionally, this e-bike has a quick release on the front wheel, but you’ll need tools to access the rear. There’s a seven speed cassette with entry-level Shimano Tourney TX derailleur there and a quick-disconnect in the power cable so you can completely remove the wheel and motor together without any loose wires getting in the way. Seven speeds is good enough for city riding and if you keep the chain lubed and drop in for an occasional tune-up everything should last.

Powering the Magnum Ui5 is an integrated Lithium-ion battery pack. The downtube is partially severed in order to sink the pack inside which delivers more security and strength while simultaneously lowering the center of mass. Inside the pack are 18650 sized cells manufactured by Samsung. These care quality cells, that are known for being long lasting and light weight. They are efficient in transferring power and usually seen in the mid to high end models. The battery also offers an integrated LED power level indicator and a USB charging port.

Operating the Magnum Ui5 is a two-step process. First you press the power button on the top of the battery pack, then you press a second power button on the display panel. This two-step process only takes an extra second, however, it makes it easier to forget to turn off the battery pack once you park the bike. The display panel features a “set” button, which allows you to change from odometer to trip distance and trip time. While the “up” and “down” buttons allow you to select different power levels for pedal assist. The Magnum Ui5 offers both a throttle and pedal assist option.

The Magnum Ui5 is an exceptional electric bike for city riders at its price point of $1,699. The aesthetic matching paint, integrated wires, upgraded batteries and other extras really set it apart. At 51 pounds this bike is actually consider relatively light given the larger tires. Additionally, the adjustable stem on the Magnum Ui5 allows for a wider range of riders. Overall, this electric bike is an impressive product with a great refined fifth generation design.
