A fun, fast, well-constructed folding Ebike
It is much quieter and has a concealed, very lightweight, battery compared to the Ebike I have in the UK. It's sturdy and well-balanced and one has the ability to change "gears" (speeds) or to ride it without turning on any power at all which is a great feature for various levels of exercise. You can pedal without power, pedal to activate the motor on each of the three speed levels or ride it purely on thrust. It rides very smoothly and feels very compact. The bike is super easy to assemble (although I chose to have it checked out by a professional before taking it on the road as recommended) and the battery was easy to remove and charge. You can also charge the battery while it is still on the bike. I bought the white one and it's bright and pretty. It comes with a headlamp, a front & rear reflector, a nifty speedometer & power gauge and a horn. It folds easily but is a bit too heavy for me to lift in and out of the back of my car by myself. The negatives are that it doesn't have mudguards so beware of riding through puddles or being caught in the rain. It doesn't have a saddle bag or rack which I use all the time on my bike in the UK. Most importantly, it does not have a comfortable seat (my Dillenger Cheetah has a large plush seat) so I shall have to buy a padded cover for this saddle. It also has a new style of hand grip which I thought I liked at first because it's flattened, molded plastic but after 10 mins of riding your hands get very sore. The plastic is super hard and juts into the palms of your hands when you go over bumps....really painful especially if you are used to big padded round handles. I shall have to see if there are some padded covers available that won't cause a safety issue. I wore my thickest gloves today and after a 20min wonderful, fun ride, they (and my bottom) were still sore. Overall though, I'm thrilled with it. I'm going to have to wear a backpack or pouch to carry anything I need with me.
