CraneBike Bell E-Ne Bicycle Bell, Made in Japan for Road Bikes or Mountain Bikes, Fits All Handle Bar Sizes & Types

Well made and great looking. The thing I appreciate the most is the tone of the ring. Its reasonably loud and last a few seconds, unlike others ive used. It is a little pricey though.

I was looking for a bell to go with our new Ebikes. Top of my list is the Spurcycle and honestly if money was no object, it would be my first choice but I just can't justify spending $70 on a bike bell. I took a look at some discount bells and a knock-off... none of them measured up. I still sort of want a Spurcycle but this is an excellent compromise at half the price. I purchased the copper bell for myself and my wife picked the flat black bell. They both sound very nice but the copper bell has a bit higher pitch and sounds clearer to my ear. Both mount the same way - a metal strap and a small hex screw. If you don't have a hex wrench, that's an issue. I think they should have included one. But if you do have a standard bike wrench set, it's an easy mount. It looks fantastic and sounds great. .

I've had a Spurcycle bell on my road bike for years and its clear, bright sustaining tone always brings a smile to my face (and seems to keep me safer too). I decided to try the E-ne bell mainly because I couldn't justify spending $60-70 for another Spurcycle, this time for my gravel bike (and I really wanted the $70 black version).Aside from the E-ne being noticeably bigger (but not obnoxiously so) I think I like it better than the Spurcycle. It's tone is just as clear & loud and almost as sustaining as the Spurcycle, but it's pitch is somewhat lower which I think makes it easier to hear (especially by those who've had some high-frequency hearing loss) and/or is more-quickly perceived as a bike bell vs. something else.The other positives of the E-ne vs. the Spurcycle are: 1) A wider variety of finishes, 2) The metal band is vinyl-coated (I added some heat-shrink tubing to the band on my Spurcycle so that it doesn't mar my handlebar finish), 3) The vinyl-coated "feet" on the underside of the bell's dome works better than the rubber shim on the Spurcycle which tends to move out of place when tightening it down, 4) The hammer has a lighter touch & its solid shape works better with my thumb vs. the Spurcycle's "paper clip" shaped hammer, and 5) Oh yeah it costs about 50% less!

This seems like a pretty good alternative to the Spurcycle bell, which I really wanted to support, but couldn't quite justify paying twice as much for. Prior to that, I was originally drawn to the Knog Oi based on its unique looks, but there were too many reports of it just not being quite loud enough, which was kind of a dealbreaker.This bell, while also being compact and attractive, does a good job at its main purpose: being loud enough to get people's attention so you don't have to make yourself hoarse yelling "On your left!" all day.Cons:* Kind of a knockoff of a higher quality US product* Not artisinally crafted in San Francisco* Difficult to ring softly (usually not much of a problem)Pros:* As far as Spurcycle knockoffs go, this is higher quality and less of a blatant knockoff than the other comparable bells out there* Not $50-$60* Manufacturer is more well-known and reputable than the Chinese knockoff brands* Compact, stylish looks* Loud, crisp ring that's quite effective at getting people's attentionOverall I'm pretty happy with it. I did notice one minor quirk that other reviewers mentioned, that it takes a bit of practice to figure out how far back to pull the hammer. A graph of hammer distance vs. noise would look roughly like this:-------------====##################That's probably inaccurate, but the idea is that pulling it back slightly results in an almost-inaudible "thud." (which, as another reviewer mentioned, you might end up doing in a panic), and pulling it back more than maybe 40% results in the loud, bright "DING!" you would expect. Sometimes, if it's quiet out, you might attempt to ring it a bit softer so you don't terrify an upcoming pedestrian, but it's pretty tricky to hit that narrow sweet spot of audible but not piercing. I don't consider this much of a problem, though, since most of the time you just want to be heard, and it does a good job of that.

Very loud bell. Super easy to install. What else do you need from an affordable and well-made product?

This bell is as beautiful as it is loud. I purchased this bell to combat the droves of tweens, playing Pokemon Go, in the park. All of a sudden, my favorite bike path is littered with mindless idiots, face down, on their phones. When buying a bike bell, you basically have three options; silly child's "ring ring", this lovely and resonant "Diiiing", or big trucker airhorn. At first I was skeptical about the other reviews, praising this bell for its beautiful musical resonance, but it's absolutely true. It's loud without being harsh, and distinctive enough that it gets attention from all but the most hopeless of humans. The size is also perfect for handlebar mounting, and allows you to position the bell close enough to your grips so your thumb will always be "on-the-ready".Sure, $30 is a lot to spend on a bike bell, but I can assure you, it's worth it. The copper finish is gorgeous, and the spring on the dinger (technical term) is strong enough that the bell will not ding unless summoned upon. If you care about quality, looks, and want a bell with a clear and authoritative tone, buy the Crane E-ne.

A nice simple bell with a fantastic clear ring. Made in Japan, not china. Feels like money but doesn't break the bank. Clean black color, relatively easy to install.The cheap chinese bells suck. Don't use them, just get this and it should last your life. The nature of how materials work tells me the black probably won't stay dark for eternity, but it's held up on a beater bike for well over a year, so I can't imagine any problems occurring if someone is buying this for looks on a ride they keep pristine.

The bell has a great tone and depending on how hard you choose to depress the striker lever you can vary from fairly soft to loud enough to easily be heard quite far ahead of you.The workmanship is excellent and the unit is a treat to own.

El sonido de este timbre es genial, aunque no es muy fuerte, es generalmente para alertar personas, si viajas mucho por vialidades sin ciclovia te recomiendo otro con un sonido más fuerte.
