Verdict: High quality, high spec city bike for day-to-day commuting
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
Entertaining handling, excellent drivetrain and motor combo, nicely integrated rack, mudguards and lights
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
