Who should buy it
This bike is for riders who want strong torque and a big battery for long rides, and who do not mind the extra weight. It is also for those who prefer a hub motor over a mid-drive. If you need a lighter bike or a lower price, look elsewhere.
- You ride steep hills and want 130 Nm of torque to help you climb.
- You want a 720 Wh battery for longer trips between charges.
- You accept a 35.8 kg weight and a 2199 USD price for those features.
If you need a lighter e-MTB, consider models closer to the 28.1 kg median. If you want a lower price, look for bikes under 1899 USD. Also, if you need a throttle or a folding frame, this bike does not offer them.
