Jan 2020

Price: $1399.00 | Model Year: 2020 A surprisingly affordable folding fat tire ebike with sturdy cast rims, wide aluminum alloy fenders, and unique 4.25

Observations
  • A surprisingly affordable folding fat tire ebike with sturdy cast rims, wide aluminum alloy fenders, and unique 4.25" urban tires that coast efficiently and run quieter than all of the studded fat tires I see on the vast majority of competing folding fat electric bicycles

  • Innovative seat post battery pack looks beautiful, keeps weight centered on the frame, and is removable for charging on or off the bike, you get an integrated headlight and basic clip-on tail light that is mounted high and adds safety, but the rear light requires independent disposable AA batteries

  • Available in two colors, offers a basic 7-speed drivetrain with trigger shifters vs. the big thumb shifters on many competing ebikes, cast alloy rims won't go out of true or get damaged easily, controller box is small and hidden in the frame vs. bolted on, the cadence sensor offers 12 magnets and is sealed for protection, great kickstand placement, narrow folding joint won't bump knees as easily while pedaling

  • No suspension here, but the fat tires add a bit of comfort and stability, the seat post battery does not lock to the frame and could be vulnerable when parking in public, removing the battery takes extra time due to the screw-on power connector at the base... it also requires you to bend way down to connect and disconnect, the charging port for the battery is up high but a little difficult to reach under the saddle, basic pedals, no derailleur guard
