Who should buy it
The Fafrees F28 fits riders who value low weight and low price over raw performance. It is a practical choice for shorter rides on moderate terrain.
- You want an e-MTB that is easy to lift and maneuver, at 22.7 kg.
- You ride mostly flat or rolling trails and do not need high torque.
- You are on a budget and want a bike below the median price of 1554 USD.
Look elsewhere if you need long range or strong hill-climbing ability. The estimated range of 32 km and torque of 45 Nm are below average for e-MTBs. Also, the warranty is not listed, which may be a concern for some buyers.
