  • Brakes & Lights+5 pts

    I felt like I could stop on a dime with these brakes

  • Battery & Range0 pts

    the motor and Battery pairing were a little less efficient than we commonly see on ebikes with mid drives

  • Comfort & Fit+5 pts

    this is of course a commuter Style ebike with a mostly upright riding position a little bit of a forward lean but you know it's still very comfortable not too aggressive

  • Security, App & Display-5 pts

    I love that app but I would like to see a sturdier phone mount in the future

  • Build & Reliability-5 pts

    the top section of the mount is kind of a spring-loaded clamp that felt kind of flimsy and in fact it did break during our test testing

    I love everything about it, but I hate his kickstand. This uh the bolt just ripped off right in there. And this is the second time it's done it.
