Why This Model is Best for You
This is the best choice for those who don't like heavy e-bikes and want a bicycle that can be easily lifted up stairs or hung on the back of a car. Its biggest plus point is its 'natural assist' feel. When you pedal, its special motor will double your power, which will give you a feeling of miraculous power. It has 11-speed premium SRAM NX gears for quick acceleration. Once its small battery is fully charged, it can easily cover a long distance of about 130 kilometers in Eco mode.
Brakes and wheel control
To avoid jams in busy city traffic or to keep yourself safe while riding at high speeds, its braking and wheel control are simply perfect. Since the Tektro hydraulic brake system has no cable or wire, there is no need to force the brake lever, the bike comes under control immediately with just a light pressure of a finger. Its Pathfinder tires can maintain excellent speeds on asphalt roads or light dirt roads. Since the wheels are light, the rider has complete control when turning or turning the bicycle quickly.
