Nov 2017

Price: $2600.00 | Model Year: 2018 A comfortable, stable, quiet, and efficient electric bike made in two frame sizes and colors, well-suited to neighborhood riding and cruising. Relatively lightweight at ~48 lbs, in part because it comes without lights or fenders, you pay a bit extra for the name-brand but get access to a vast network of dealers. A comfortable, stable, quiet, and efficient electric bike made in two frame sizes and colors, well-suited to neighborhood riding and cruising.

Observations
  • A comfortable, stable, quiet, and efficient electric bike made in two frame sizes and colors, well-suited to neighborhood riding and cruising

  • Relatively lightweight at ~48 lbs, in part because it comes without lights or fenders, you pay a bit extra for the name-brand but get access to a vast network of dealers

  • Hydraulic disc brakes provide smooth powerful stops, fatter 2.3" tires improve stability and compliment the ergonomic grips and comfort saddle

  • No suspension fork on this particular model, the pointy kickstand can push into soft terrain and allow the bike to fall over, the on/off button is located on the battery vs. the control pad (which would be easier to reach), no shift detection
