Observations
  • A classically styled electric cruiser with efficient and powerful mid-drive motor system, available in cantilever high-step and step-thru frame designs (two sizes), metallic blue or pink

  • Sturdy rear rack protects the battery and offers standard gauge rails for clip-on panniers, paint-matched steel fenders and alloy chain cover keep your pants clean and snag-free

  • Comfortable swept-back handlebar compliments the oversized sprung saddle and balloon tires to reduce vibration and smooth out the bumps, reinforced frame and mid-motor reduce flex

  • Simplified display panel doesn't show as many readouts but keeps the cockpit clean, basic linear-pull brakes get the job done but aren't as refined as disc brakes, no lights or reflective paint on the tires
