Step-through frame and weight
The aluminium-alloy frame has a lowered top section, so riders do not need to lift a leg as high to get on or off. This design may appeal to anyone who prefers easier handling.
The bike weighs 26 kg. It may feel stable on the road, but its weight is worth considering if you need to carry it up stairs or load it into a car. The stated maximum load is 120 kg, although the available information does not specify what is included in that limit.
Motor, riding modes and speed
The 250 W motor produces 50 Nm of torque and provides assistance while riding, including on climbs. The effort required depends on the gradient, load and selected mode.
There are three riding modes: fully electric, pedal-assist and manual. In pedal-assist mode, the motor helps as the rider pedals; manual mode allows riding without motor assistance. Five speed levels cover a range from 12 to 25 km/h.
The stated maximum speed is 25 km/h, with an option to unlock it to 31 km/h. However, the available information does not make clear whether these figures refer to the assistance limit or to a particular riding mode. Using the fully electric mode or unlocking the speed may affect the vehicle's legal classification and where it can be ridden on public roads. Check the rules in your area before riding.
Suspension, wheels and brakes
The hydraulic suspension helps absorb uneven surfaces and can also be locked. On a smooth road, locking it may reduce movement while pedalling; on rough surfaces, the suspension can improve comfort.
The bike has 27.5-inch tyres suited to everyday road riding and recreational use. Disc brakes are fitted at the front and rear. Adjust your speed and following distance to the conditions, particularly on wet surfaces or descents.
Gearing, range and display
A seven-speed Shimano derailleur lets riders change gear to suit the terrain: a lower gear helps on climbs, while a higher gear is useful at faster speeds. The gears are separate from the bike's five speed levels.
The maximum claimed range in pedal-assist mode is up to 100 km. Actual range depends on riding conditions, including terrain, load and how much assistance is used. The available information does not state the battery capacity or the conditions under which the range was measured.
A 3.5-inch LCD displays speed, distance travelled and battery status. These readings can help riders monitor a journey and plan the return trip, but it remains important to watch the traffic and surface ahead when checking them.
