Who should buy it
The DYU T1 20 fits a specific rider. You want an affordable folding bike for short trips. You do not need a long range or high torque. You value low weight and low price.
- You ride less than 26 km per charge on flat terrain.
- You need to carry the bike up stairs or onto public transport.
