⚠️ Considerations

• Motor torque is moderate (65 Nm)—adequate for urban cruising but less suited for steep climbs or heavy loads compared to 90 Nm+ models ebikeescape.com+4velotricbike.com+4electricbikereview.com+4.

• No suspension fork: Road comfort relies on tire compliance and seat cushioning—rough terrain can feel jarringreddit.com+2freshlycharged.com+2forums.electricbikereview.com+2.

• Throttle response is sluggish: Users report throttle is slow to engage, making initial acceleration less responsivereddit.com+2forums.electricbikereview.com+2bikeride.com+2.

• Cluttered cockpit controls: Some users find the control pad layout unintuitive or overwhelming at first ride .

• PAS granularity: While there are 15 settings (3 modes × 5 PAS levels), some reviewers felt this setup can be confusing and hard to optimize bikeride.com.
