Who should buy it
This bike fits riders who value climbing power over long distance. It is priced exactly at the median for its type. If you need a commuter with a long range, look elsewhere.

- Riders who prefer a standard pedelec with no throttle.
- Riders who want a bike that is slightly lighter than the class average.
If you need more than 47 km of range, consider a bike with a larger battery. If you want a throttle or a foldable frame, this model does not offer them. Check the warranty, as it is not listed.
