Who should buy it
This bike fits riders who prioritize weight over range. It is easy to store and carry. It works for short commutes or errands near home.
- You live in a walk-up and need a bike you can carry.
- Your trips are under 10 km each way.
- You want a bike that feels nimble, not heavy.
Look elsewhere if you need long range or carry heavy loads. The max payload is 120 kg, and it is not cargo capable. The small battery will disappoint if you plan rides over 30 km.
