Sep 2017 · Oli Woodman

The Super Commuter can be considered a genuine car replacement, but its steep price is off-putting. Buy if you want to arrive to work sweat-free, with a smile on your face

Highs
  • Entertaining handling, excellent drivetrain and motor combo, nicely integrated rack, mudguards and lights

Lows
  • Price, high overall weight can be a pain for those keeping the bike indoors, the brakes aren’t the best, rigid ride can prove tiresome on poor surfaces
