Review
It is by far the lightest e-bike on the site: about 17,7 kg in size M. It rides almost like a regular bike and the assistance feels like a gentle push.
The motor is in the rear wheel, with 35 Nm, and the 360 Wh battery slides out of the down tube to charge at home. It has Shimano CUES 1×11 shifting and Shimano hydraulic brakes.
It is not a bike for climbing very steep ramps on the motor alone: it is designed for people who pedal and want help on climbs and against the wind on long rides.
Pros
- Very light for an e-bike (17,7 kg)
- Shimano CUES 1×11 shifting and hydraulic brakes
- Removable battery
- Fast on tarmac and tracks
Cons
- 35 Nm: little help on steep ramps
- No suspension
- Drop handlebar: less comfortable in the city
Riders who already pedal and want an assisted gravel bike to extend rides on tarmac and trails.
Back roads, hard-packed dirt tracks and greenways.
3,7 / 10 (estimated from the scores and the reference price).
