Who should buy it
This bike is for riders who prioritize easy carrying and storage. If you live in a walk-up or take public transport, the low weight helps. It is also fine for short trips where you can charge often.
- You need to carry your bike up stairs regularly.
- Your rides are under 25 km and you can charge at work or home.
- You want a bike that feels nimble and easy to handle.
Look elsewhere if you need long range or strong hill climbing. The estimated range is 25 km, and the torque is 37 Nm. Riders who want a throttle or a step-through frame will not find them here. Consider a heavier bike with a bigger battery if range matters more than weight.
