It’s my third ebike and the more interesting one. it is light (easy to move in your garage, could use a standard car bike rack), fast (in PAS1 you reach easily 17mph. The range is good despite the small battery: I use to ride 22 miles in mainly pas 1 without any issue. The class 3 ebike is great, no more brake due to the 20 mph limitation from the class 2.
It’s really a bike, not like more heavy ebikes, The display is what we need, easy to reset the daily datas.
A kickstand cost 25 USD, easy to add, 795$ is actually a good deal (1000 $ was too expensive). The motor kick on very fast, it seems it was improved after the first years of production. The 2 size for the frame is a good feature too.
Don’t loose your money with a heavy folding one, this bike is a blast.
Not perfect: the paint is not very strong but the one month test policy is very nice too. I do recommend this bike .

Since it is an urban bike, is there space for fenders, rack and basket?

In reply to Reed Maltzman.

Yeah, commuters in the Bay Area in particular were who I had in mind when I was cautioning about steeper, longer hills. I’ve done some riding out there and even in the city you can find hills so steep you’ll huff and puff on even the lightest, most efficient of bikes. Glad you liked the bike other than that, though. Hopefully you’ve since found something that suits your hill-climbing needs.

This is a great bike but I had to send my bike back due to the high gear ratio. It put too much stress on my knees to power over MAJOR hills (San Francisco). This bike has plenty of power for more realistic hill climbing. If your ride is 10-12 miles with a few hills this is killer. If your ride is 20 miles with a couple of major climbs (ie Sausalito to the GG Bridge) it’s probably not for you. But man it is light.
