Coboc eCycle F1 vs Soho F1: Comparing the 2019 Specifications
The Coboc eCycle F1 vs Soho F1 comparison becomes clearer when both bicycles are kept within their 2019 handbook specifications. They share several fundamental descriptions, but their forks, cranks, cockpits and published weights differ. An older photograph labelled One Soho must be read separately from those F1 tables.
Coboc eCycle F1 vs Soho F1: the shared foundation
Both 2019 technical tables identify 7020 aluminium frames, 36 V, 352 Wh batteries and Gates Carbon CDX singlespeed belt drives with 55–20T gearing. These shared specifications are useful identification points. They do not prove identical battery condition or unchanged original equipment on any surviving bicycle.
The local eCycle F1 listing offers a model name to compare. The Coboc eCycle F1 Bike listing identifies the model as eCycle F1. Treat that identity as a starting point, rather than confirmation that every component matches a particular historical handbook.
Compare the parts that distinguish the tables
eCycle F1 lists a carbon fork and carbon crank with a BB30 bottom bracket. Soho F1 specifies an aluminium fork and an Andel square-taper aluminium crank. These are component and interface differences, not simply different colour descriptions.
The eCycle table gives a 600 mm carbon handlebar, with its overview showing a flat layout, and a Selle San Marco Aspide Carbon FX saddle. Soho F1 lists a bullhorn handlebar and a Brooks Cambium C15 allweather saddle. Compare the actual controls and contact points before drawing conclusions about your own riding position.
The cited eCycle weight is 10.7 kg with Schwalbe ONE 622-25 tyres; Soho F1 gives 13.1 kg with Schwalbe Durano 622-25. These figures describe named historical specifications, not a present weighing or a handling test.
Why the One Soho photograph looks different
The museum image visibly shows a chain. Its source describes a One Soho at 13.7 kg and dates the photograph to May 2017, with a one-day summary/embedded-date discrepancy. The 2019 Soho F1 table instead specifies a belt and 13.1 kg. Keep both records intact rather than using the picture to “correct” the later table.
FAQ: reading the historical comparison
Are both frames carbon?
No. Both 2019 tables name aluminium frames; eCycle’s carbon components are separate items.
Does the photo prove the 2019 Soho drivetrain?
No. Its visible chain belongs to the photographed historical configuration, not the cited F1 belt specification.
What should I compare on an actual bicycle?
Check model identity, fitted parts and documentation. The Coboc family overview gives background, while Coboc eCycle F1 vs Soho F1 figures remain tied to their 2019 sources.
