Every now and then we run across an e-bike that surprises us. The surprise can take many forms. Some e-bikes are an exceptional value. Some have a motor that could power a rider up Mt. Kilimanjaro, or a battery that would last all the way across Texas. Sometimes the surprises—plural—make a bike seem almost too
The 500W hub motor is a strong performer that impresses most on hills
The Zoom hydraulic brakes with 180mm rotors offer confidence-inspiring control
They offer two sizes in a traditional frame as well as a step-thru model; very few bikes in this price range come in three different frame sizes
Though it does not come with a rack or fenders, it has attachments for both so that they can be added; that’s part of why this e-bike is so affordable
Rider position comfortably splits the difference between a more aggressive commuter position and a completely upright cruiser position
The Kenda Quick Seven.5 rolls well and offers terrific traction and comfort
We’d like more modulation with the thumb throttle to make it easy to control your speed when throttling
Not sure if this is possible given the current price of the City 1, but we would prefer a slightly better shifter than the Shimano Tourney (however, at this price point, we are very happy with the current shifter)
