Where it falls short

Who should buy it
This bike is for riders who want a folding e-bike with long range and strong hill-climbing. It is not for those who need a light bike. It is also not for riders who want a throttle.
- You commute long distances and need a battery that lasts.
- You live in a hilly area and need high torque.
- You have a place to store a heavy folding bike.
Look elsewhere if you need to carry your bike regularly. The 31.8 kg weight will be a burden. Also, if you prefer a step-through frame, this bike does not have one.
