Where it falls short

Who should buy it
This bike fits riders who value range and price over torque. It is a mountain e-bike, but it is not built for extreme trails. It works for commuting and light off-road use.
- You want a large battery for long rides.
- You are on a budget and want a below-median price.
- You ride mostly flat terrain and do not need high torque.
Look elsewhere if you need a light bike or strong hill-climbing. The weight and torque figures are not in your favor. Consider a different model if you plan to carry it often.
