Works great!
Wanted to eliminate "ghost pedaling" (a/k/a hamster pedaling) in the upper gears of my e-bike (Bee Cool Explorer). This was a fairly easy upgrade, the hardest part is removing the old freewheel (you need the special freewheel tool and a long breaker bar attached to it). Once this new piece installed, I indexed my derailer to the new freewheel (there are dozens of you tube videos showing how easy this is) and then re-lubed my chain. I was quite impressed with how well my chain meshed with the teeth of this freewheel and how smoothly she shifted.I've eliminated the hamster effect of pedaling at higher speeds with no effect (akin to pedaling when you're going downhill). I will say that even in the mid-ranges, I feel more leg muscles working too, an added benefit for my old bones! I opted for staying with the 28T large gear and not going for the 32T or 34T. I live in Florida and we just don't have the kind of hills to need super-low gearing, otherwise I would have gone for it.

Surprisingly easy to install
My e-bike came with a 14-28t freewheel. I was ghost pedaling at 20mph. Switching to this 11-28 freewheel totally solved that problem. I can manage reasonable input above 28mph now. This was a great first step. I was also going to change my front chain ring from a 42t to a 46t, but held off because I would have needed to replace the whole crank set and get a larger chain. I’m glad I waited because just changing to a freewheel with an 11t vs the 14t made a huge improvement. I’ve only had it on for a couple of weeks so I can’t speak to the longevity. No problems yet and the install was easy with the optional removal tool they sell. The opening on the tool was the largest I have seen and I think will accommodate most quick release motor connections. Now I can still get exercise while traveling quickly. It’s good for keeping up with traffic or using less watts to extend my range in peddle assist 4 or 5.

A must for reducing ghost pedaling in 7 speed ebikes
Perfect upgrade for a 7 speed freewheel for any geared motor ebike This thing combined with the 52 tooth front chainring on my ebike lets me pedal at a steady 37 mph and still feel resistance in the pedals in 7th gear it could even go faster if I could pedal faster, even the lower gears are improved 6th is good for 30+ mph, 5th for 25, 4th for 19 all actually letting me put in effort at various pedal assist levels for example pas 3 on my bike cuts off at 24 mph 5th gear lets me pedal at 25... so the motor only kicks in if i drop below 24. improving efficiency. it's even better at lower gears and settings because the motor uses less wattage when it is needed.

Game changer
Have a Cyrusher Kommoda Ebike.The stock cassette made for some fast pedaling . Too fast for the ground speed of the bike. Not much resistance.Installed this cassette and wow what a change.Completely transformed the bike to a solid performer . Literally you saved the purchase of that bike.Easy install with the cassette toolSolid product would buy again.Hope this helps someone.

Great product ebikes need modification
Great for ebikes. Lots of power to the pedals, much less ghost pedaling.Installation takes custom tools.It's well worth the it if you don't mind modifying a rear cassette removal tool

Funciona muy bien
Primeras impresiones. El piñón funciona muy bien en una bicicleta normal. Utilizaba un piñón 14-28 El cual era más lento. Con este se gana más velocidad. Pero también exige tener un a buena condición física para poder moverlo

Bad teeth design and 11 teeth sprocket does not work at all
I bought this freewheel almost two years ago and remember how frustrated I was because I had spent a lot of time and simply could not get the 11 teeth sprocket work without slipping. I kind of stopped using the bike for a good year year because of that but recently started over and even bought a new chain (the old one was not worn) and still no success. First of all, as shown in other reviews, the teeth are oddly shaped and partially almost completely missing. That is the case even on the 11 and 13 teeth sprockets, even though it is clear that for these the entire chain tension is carried by only maybe 7 teeth, and yet they still put in these stupid rounded and way too short teeth. Now after replacing the chain (and the old one had accumulated a bit of dirt on the grease) I can clearly see to the side of the 11 teeth sprocket that the chain was in fact running on the freewheel shaft, instead of on the 11 teeth sprocket itself, I can clearly see the grease spots from the chain on the shaft, and the wear. Again, the brand new chain did not help here, it maybe made is worse, as it seems to slip even more. Overall, this is just a stupid design. It is possible that 11 teeth sprockets can work, if the freewheel shaft is smaller in diameter, or if there's normally shaped teeth, but the way they sold this, it just cannot work properly - by design!
