A good fit for

  • Carrying up stairs or onto a rack: 28.6 lb is light for an e-bike

Think twice if you need

  • Very steep, long climbs: a lower-torque hub motor slows down on them
  • Anyone who wants to ride without pedaling: there is no throttle
  • Paths that only allow Class 1 or 2 e-bikes
