Hey there, e-bike enthusiasts and curious commuters! Today, I’m zooming in on the Aventon Level.2 Electric Bicycle, a marvel on two wheels that promises to make your commute a breeze and turn heads while you’re at it.

From its surprising power to its sleek design, I’ll give you the insider scoop on what makes this e-bike a must-have for city riders and recreational riders alike. Plus, I’ve got some handy assembly tips up my sleeve to get you on the road faster.

So, buckle up for a ride through the pros and the cons. Plus, I’ll tell you what you need to know before making a buying decision and share assembly tips to help you decide if the Aventon Level.2 is the perfect electric bike for you. 

The Aventon Level.2: A Speedy Overview

Imagine cruising through the city with the wind in your hair, effortlessly overtaking those sluggish morning traffic jams. That’s the reality with the Aventon Level.2 e-bike.

Out of the box, it’s a Class 2 powerhouse, offering pedal assist and throttle modes up to 20 mph. But hold onto your helmets; with the Aventon app, you can unlock the Level 2 to reach a breezy 28 mph. Whether you’re facing a no-throttle zone or tackling an uphill battle, the Shimano 8-speed gearshift has your back.

Why You’ll Love the Level.2: Pros of the Aventon Level.2

Hub Motor Power

Jumping into the saddle of the Level.2, I was a little shocked by the 500W motor’s gusto. It gave me the oomph I needed to climb hills, even though it’s not a 750W motor. The torque sensor made my ride feel smooth as silk, with no pesky lurching to spoil the fun.

LG Cell Battery

And the 672Wh LG battery? After a 14-mile test ride using throttle and pedal assist levels 4 and 5, the battery was still at 93%. I was pretty amazed since Aventon reports the range as up to 60 miles. This suggests it could go further. Plus, the Level’s battery comes with a 48V 3 Amp charger so you’ll be on the road fast.

Hybrid Tires

The 27.5″ x 2.1” Kenda hybrid tires with safety reflective sidewalls handled every twist and turn of my urban adventure with grace, proving themselves on the occasional gravel detour as well.

Visible Lights

Although integrated front and rear lights are becoming more common in new electric bikes, Aventon gets bonus points for placing the lights where they can be seen, even with a pannier bag attached to the rack.

Ease of Use

Finally, you can do everything on one control panel, so forget searching for pedal assist levels, lights, or speed and distance. There’s not much more dangerous than taking your eyes off the road to find the right function.

Backlit LCD Display

The intuitive color display tracks the pedal assist level and remaining battery charge, but also useful data including trip distance and time traveled.

But Wait, There’s More!

Other benefits of the Aventon Level 2 electric bicycle include hydraulic brakes, a rack and fenders, ergonomic grips, a comfortable Aventon by Velo seat, and a solid kickstand. I found the stand a little hard to push down but that’s why it stays put. I should also mention that the bright little yellow keys are super easy to find if dropped!

But, No Electric Bike is Perfect: Cons of the Aventon Level.2

Now, for a bit of a reality check.

The Level.2 motor, while powerful, can be a tad noisier than you might expect, and there’s a small vibration at lower speeds. And then there’s the price tag – sitting at $1,699, it’s not exactly pocket change. However, considering the premium features and robust build, I found the investment justifiable.

What You Need to Know Before You Buy

The Aventon Level 2 has a pretty average weight of 62 pounds for a full-size electric bike with a payload capacity of 300 lb. Not bad for a commuter e-bike.

I always appreciate having the option of a step-through frame that’s accessible to everyone, regardless of physical ability, size, or age. The step-over frame Level 2 is still perfect for taller riders and those who prefer a more traditional bike.

Speaking of size, Aventon offers both frame styles in two sizes. So, the Level 2 can fit riders from 4’11” to 6’4. Being 5’1” myself, the small step-thru frame fits me perfectly. Just check their sizing tool to choose the perfect fit.

Now, here’s what you need to know about unboxing and assembling the Aventon Level 2.

Getting It Road-Ready: Assembly Tips

Fear not, assembly novices! Unboxing the Level 2 was easy with all the reusable, eco-friendly packaging, much of which could be just pulled off.

Overall, assembly difficulty was better than average. However, I have a few tips that’ll save you time, especially if you lack bike assembly experience.

• First, use the box to hold the front tire while dropping on the frame. Because the frame sits a little differently on the tire, you’ll get it done more easily if you have someone to help guide it. 
  
• When you insert the thru-axle in the front tire, push it in slowly, keeping the release handle loose, so it doesn’t get stuck and you can’t close the lever. This mistake set me back about 10 minutes, getting it unstuck and starting over.
  
• Rub a little bike grease on the pedals and seatpost to make them easier to put on.  
  
• Move the display out of the way to finish tightening the handlebars, using a criss-cross pattern between the 4 screws.
  
• And, if you want to be ready for a ride when you’re done, remove the battery and fully charge it while assembling your Level ebike. My battery had a 65% charge out of the box.
  
• Final Tip… Aventon has a good assembly video on its site, so be sure to watch it before starting to assemble your new e-bike.

Is the Aventon Level.2 the Best Commuter E-Bike for You?

If you yearn for a seamless, controlled ride and won’t compromise on quality or features, the answer is a resounding ‘Yes!’. Whether zipping through city streets on your way to work or enjoying a recreational ride, Level 2 is a fit for nearly every rider out there. For those with a thirst for off-road thrills, though, you might want to check out Aventon’s catalog for something more rugged.

If you’re in the market for a ride that combines power, innovation, and style, this could very well be your next big e-bike love. Just imagine all the places you’ll go, the sights you’ll see, and the sheer joy of leaving traffic jams in your dust. Remember, every ride is an adventure waiting to happen, and with the right e-bike, you’re already halfway there. So, gear up, charge up, and let the good times roll.

A peaceful ride…that’s how I’d describe my ride experience on the Tenways CGO800S electric bike. If you’re searching for a natural riding experience that’s smooth and relaxing, consider this high-performing, stylish city e-bike. 

I’m Lisa from E-Biking Today and in this electric bike review, I show you what makes the Tenways CGO800S unique and help you decide if this is the urban e-bike for you. I’ll go over the pros and cons, share assembly tips, and tell you what you need to know before you buy.

Plus, keep an eye out for the performance features I love… and you might not want to live without.

So, let’s take a look at the CGO800S.

Pros of the Tenways CGO800S

There are many benefits worth considering in addition to the sleek frame and clean look.

Lightweight

It weighs only 46lbs with the battery included. Or, if the bike is fully loaded with Tenways CGO accessories including the pannier and rear rack, it weighs around 51lbs.

Quiet Motor

This U.S. model Class 1 e-bike has a Mivice 350W rear hub motor that’s super quiet but will assist you up to 20mph. I only heard a slight hum when riding at high power. Overall, it sounds and feels like a regular bike.

Good Range

With a sleek, integrated 374-watt-hour 36V 10.4Ah) lithium-ion battery, I’m surprised it has a range of up to 53 miles. Your achieved range will depend on body and cargo weight, wind, hills, and other factors.

Upright, Step-Through Frame

The step-through frame makes it easy for riders to get on and off, which I found very helpful when stopping and going in the city. Plus, it is much easier to check out the surroundings when seated upright. You don’t want to miss a thing when riding with city traffic!

However, if you prefer a more traditional frame, take a look at the Tenways CGO600Pro model.

Comfortable

The CGO800S was comfortable and easy to maneuver, in part due to its lightweight design. Additionally, the suspension fork softened urban street bumps and the ergonomic handlebars prevented wrist soreness.

GATES Carbon Belt Drive

I didn’t feel any slippage or hear any noise on this single-speed belt-drive e-bike. What I love about carbon belt-drive bikes is that they look clean, stay clean, and don’t require constant maintenance like a chain drive. And, there isn’t a risk of grease on pant legs or hands.

Magnetic Torque Sensor

I prefer a torque sensor over a cadence sensor. I felt the intuitive pedal assist and smooth ride as soon as I pressed the pedals. With a torque sensor, this Tenways ebike provides an instantaneous but natural ride, rather than lurching forward without you. 

Wider Tires

I liked the 700 48C puncture-proof tires. They felt sturdy and comfortable. Plus, they’re wider than other 700-size tires (around 2 inches wide) thus offering greater traction and stability.

Other benefits that add to the safety and comfort of the Tenways CGO800S include an integrated headlight and taillight that are a snap to turn on, an SR Suntour Front Suspension Fork, a modern-looking, password-protected Smart LCD, and Tektro Hydraulic Disc Brakes.

Cons of the Tenways CGO800S

Assembly tips are coming, but first, let’s check out the cons. While the CGO800S is a fantastic e-bike, it has a few potential drawbacks. 

Price

Although it’s a high-quality cruiser electric bike, the $1999 retail price is high when compared to other fully geared electric bikes. Thus, budget-conscious buyers may feel left out. However, what the CGO800S lacks in gears and throttle, it makes up with a belt drive and torque sensor. So, I believe it is a fair price.

Check out the Current Price.

No Throttle

Some riders might wish they had a throttle or gears for more assistance riding uphill.

Confusing Turn Signals

This might just be me, but knowing which turn signal button to push wasn’t intuitive. I signaled left while turning right more than a couple of times. I eventually got used to it, but you should know which button is which before you ride.

Assembly Tips

The CGO800S was well-packaged and assembly was fairly quick. However, it will take longer than it should with only the Tenways assembly directions and images if you have little experience putting together a bike.

So, here are some additional helpful tips and directions.

First, note that you should install the kickstand with the top edge behind the frame. Then you can put the kickstand down to help with further installation.

When installing the handlebar, it’s helpful to have someone hold the handlebar in place when tightening the screws. Or, turn over the bike. This step took me longer than necessary because the handlebar kept shifting and sliding out of place. And, the bottom half was hard to hold on while also tightening.

When following the assembly manual to connect the instrument cables, you should connect yellow to yellow and red to red. 

Also, you won’t be able to install the front wheel until you remove the large piece of black plastic and gently pull out the tiny, hard-to-see protector sheet. 

Finally, get help holding the front fender and headlight during installation so you can hold the nut with your 10mm wrench while using the hex key to tighten the bolt.

What To Know Before You Buy

Now, you may wonder whether the CGO800S has enough power to get up hills. Even though it’s designed for city street riding, Tenways states it can climb hills up to 15 degrees. So, I tested it on small, moderate, and steep hills.

After hill testing, I was confident it could get me over small and moderate hills and an occasional steep hill. I had to pedal vigorously using pedal assist level 5 to get up the steep hill and got a workout without a throttle to assist me. So, yes, the CGO800S can make it up hills. But whether or not you choose to tackle hills on this e-bike will be determined by your fitness level and desire to do so.

Step-through Electric Bike Fits Most Riders 5’1”- 6’3”

As a 5’1” rider, I felt quite comfortable on this e-bike. There was about 1 inch left to lower the saddle. I preferred to tilt the handlebars a bit so the brake levers could be more easily accessed. 

I recommend that you check your measurements with the size specs before buying.

Customer Service

It’s also good to know that Tenways offers an active global community nearing 14,000 members, which provides an easy way to get support. Tenways also promises to get back to you within 24 hours and provides batteries and other parts long after your 2-year warranty. They also offer a 14-day test ride to be sure you are satisfied.

Another reason I appreciate the Tenways e-bike brand is that it gives discounts to teachers, students, the military, medical providers, and first responders. This makes electric bike riding more accessible to many.

App

Plus, the Tenways app lets you record your real-time ride, use navigation, and get support through the integrated help center, among other features.

Color Options

Finally, the CGO800S comes in three colors: Midnight Black, Sky Blue, and Pebble Gray.

Is the Tenways CGO800S the Best Electric Bike for You?

The Tenways CGO800S is ideal for urban commuters, casual riders, and anyone looking for a stylish, easy-to-use e-bike. Its step-thru design makes it accessible for riders of all abilities. 

However, this e-bike might not be the best fit if you’re on a tight budget or you are an experienced rider who prefers a range of gears. And if you plan on riding off-road, this isn’t the electric bike for you.

In conclusion, this Tenways model is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a stylish, comfortable, and reliable electric bike for urban commuting or leisurely rides.

How about an electric bike that blends power with practicality? The impressive Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser has performance features that stand out: a 750W Bafang motor paired with a 48V 15Ah battery promises both power and range. 

But the Cafe Cruiser isn’t just about performance. Its practical design and comfort are equally noteworthy. Integrated lights ensure visibility and safety, while the sturdy rear rack adds a layer of convenience, making it perfect for daily commutes or grocery runs. All this, combined with its stylish design, makes it ready for the ultimate urban adventures. 

I’m Lisa at E-Biking Today and I’m taking you on a feature-filled ride into the value-focused Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser. In my electric bike review, I’ll give it to you straight by laying out the pros and cons. 

I’ll also point out riders who would benefit most from this remarkable e-bike and why it might not be right for you. Plus, find out what you need to know before you buy and one cool feature you won’t get on most electric bikes.

PROS of the Cafe Cruiser Electric Bike

Now, here’s an in-depth list of the pros and cons of the Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser e-bike:

Powerful Motor

The 750W Bafang motor is robust. I sped up to 24 mph in seconds and had no problem conquering hills. I easily left Marc and his e-bike in the dust!

Long-Range Battery

With a 48V 15ah Reention Rhino battery with Samsung cells, you can ride 30-50 miles. You’ll get the greatest range if you use the throttle minimally and ride on pedal assist levels 1 and 2. I noticed that the battery took a hit every time I used the throttle to get up a steep hill. Battery range is also dependent on other factors such as rider weight and environment.

Comfortable Ride

The wide comfort cruiser saddle is plush and easy to get used to on a long ride. Combined with the 80mm hydraulic suspension fork, I think that Ride1Up has once again managed to offer enhanced ride comfort at a below-average price.

Advanced Tires

The SandStorm 26″x3″ tires are yet another feature that improves comfort. They’re wide enough to provide good traction and cruising comfort, yet tall and nimble enough to take corners.

Important Safety Features

An integrated 80 Lux headlight and 48 Volt taillight make you visible to cars and other bikes. Plus, the 180mm hydraulic brakes stopped me quickly and safely, thanks in part to the brake’s cut-off sensors turning off the motor when I pulled the brake levers.

Practical Design

A sturdy rear rack and powerful motor lets you carry your load where it needs to go. There are even options to attach a front rack or basket for additional cargo space.

Smooth Gear Shifting

The Shimano Acera 8-speed drivetrain feels smooth and the chain has been super quiet. Plus, the added 8th gear allows more riding options and helps get up steep hills.

Durable Frame

Okay, let’s all admit that the Cafe Cruiser looks sleek. But, the thick frame also feels sturdy and capable.

Some other pros of the Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser include an easy-to-read display, thumb throttle that speeds you up to 20mph, comfortable faux leather grips, a Shimano Acera derailleur, stainless steel spokes, and tough alloy fenders.

And, finally, here’s a benefit of the Cafe Cruiser that you can’t get on most ebikes.

A Passenger Kit that holds up to 150lbs!

Although this is an optional feature, you can take along a passenger with the practical and fun $125 ride-on kit. It’s easy to install and the seat snaps on and off in one click (you do need a strong thumb or forefinger, however).

I like that the footrests fold out of the way when you’re not using them. I also appreciate the dual protective shields that protect both the electric bike components and the passenger.

Get more info on the Cafe Cruiser’s passenger kit.

CONS of the Cafe Cruiser Electric Bike

The 65-pound Cafe Cruiser’s weight is average for comparable electric bikes. However, it can get pretty heavy when carrying a full cargo load. The weight is even more important to consider if planning to carry a passenger. Make sure you’re comfortable managing this extra weight.

The Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser XR tested in this e-bike review is a step-over electric bike. This means you will have to swing your leg over the saddle when mounting. Further, it’ll be more difficult to get on the ebike when carrying cargo on the back rack. If this is a concern, consider buying the Step-Through version.

Finally, both Marc and I wouldn’t mind if we had the option to adjust the handlebars to sit a bit more upright.

What You Need to Know Before You Buy

First, Ride1Up has detailed size charts for each electric bike model. So, be sure to choose the most compatible version for your size and ability. The Cafe Cruiser XR step-over is going to be most comfortable for riders 5’5” and taller. It also requires the flexibility to step over the frame without discomfort. 

I’d prefer the Cafe Cruiser ST, not only because I’m just above the 5-foot minimum height range, but because I can easily get on and off the ebike as needed. Marc caught this awkward picture of my attempt to get on the XR version… kind of awkward!

But keep in mind that you’ll still have to lift your foot over 23 inches to access the step-through frame. It’s about 5 inches higher than some step-through ebikes due to the Cruiser’s Design. 

Lastly, keep in mind that this is a Class 3 electric bike. In general, this means that the motor can assist you up to 28mph while pedaling. Thus, some parks, trails, and public spaces may not allow you to ride it. So always check the local e-bike laws where you plan to ride. 

Is the Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser the Best E-bike for You?

There’s no doubt that this e-bike is plenty powerful and capable for commuters, long-distance riders, and weekend cruisers.

But, this isn’t just about speed; it’s about enjoying long, uninterrupted rides with confidence. As long as you check your measurements before choosing which version of this e-bike cruiser to buy, then the Cafe Cruiser offers comfort, fun, and great value for the money.

I can only think of two reasons that it might not be for you:

1. It’s too much bike to manage, especially with the higher stand-over heights, or
2. You’re holding out for a more expensive e-bike with a few upgraded features like a torque sensor or full suspension.

But with a retail price of $1599 minus any discounts, the quality is hard to beat.

Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser Review Wrap-Up

Overall, I think the Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser stands out as an exceptional and affordable option for e-bike riders. Its blend of power, comfort, and practicality, complemented by the add-on passenger kit, makes it not just a mode of transport but a joy to ride. 

So, whether you’re commuting, running errands, or simply enjoying a leisurely ride, the Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser has the versatility, power, and comfort to make every journey a pleasure. 

Looking for a lightweight, nimble ebike that won’t draw attention to the fact that you’re getting electric pedal assistance?

Because the frame is so narrow and has that typical road bike geometry, the Ride1Up Roadster v2 looks and acts much like a regular bike. So, you can fly under the radar of other cyclists, pedestrians, and even would-be bike thieves.

But, more importantly, this is not a cruiser… it’s an electric road bike that can whisk you speedily across cities and down paved roads. I’m Lisa from E-Biking Today and I’m showing you everything you need to know about this class 3 belt drive ebike in the Ride1Up Roadster review.

Check out what this amazingly lightweight electric bike offers. I’ll point out the pros and cons and share my experience to help you decide if this is the best electric road bike for you. And, there are a few surprises for an ebike that retails at only $1095. Check the V2 Roadster’s current sale price. You might be surprised!

Let’s get on with the Ride1Up Roadster v2 electric bike review. Start by watching the video above.

PROS of the Ride1Up Roadster V2

Budget Electric Bike

It’s honestly surprising to find a quality road ebike at this price point. But the Roadster offers more than you’d expect for an electric road bike priced this low.

Natural Road Bike Geometry 

This slender ebike has an aggressive road geometry, meaning that it provides a more efficient riding position and better aerodynamics for speed. This is largely due to its lower stack and longer handlebar reach, which puts the rider in a forward position as opposed to sitting up.

But do note that I sit up straighter on the Roadster than other riders might because I’m 5’1” and ride on a low saddle. Taller riders’ saddles typically sit higher than the handlebars. In this review, I’m riding the Small frame which best fits riders 5’3” to 5’8”. Anyone 5’8” or taller should consider buying the Large e-bike frame.

Fully Concealed Battery

The Samsung cell battery is hardly noticeable since it’s smoothly integrated into the frame. This feature, and the discreet display, make it hard to detect that you’re riding an electric bike.  

Ultra Lightweight

The Roadster v2 is the lightest ebike I’ve reviewed to date. Weighing only 33 lbs, just about anyone can lift it. Being lightweight also has other advantages: It’s easier to maneuver, rides faster, and it’s easier to travel with.

Unique Drive Train

Another feature I like about the Roadster is the Toptrans belt drive. Getting a belt drive electric bike at this price point, instead of one with a chain drive, is special. The belt drive helps this single-speed e-bike ride smoothly on flat terrain, offers zero chain noise, and is easy to maintain. Yet, it’s still a class 3 bike that can speed up to 24 miles per hour.

During my test ride on mostly flat terrain, I easily sped up to 22-23 miles per hour on pedal assist levels 4 and 5 riding with consistent pedaling.

Surprising Brake Efficiency

The Roadster’s Tektro dual pivot brake calipers were a surprise find. I’d expected to get mechanical or hydraulic disc brakes. Although I was unsure how well they’d stop a fast electric bike, they did the job quite well, as you can witness in the video above. It helps that the Roadster V2 is an incredibly lightweight bike, making it easier to stop in general.

Narrow Cornering & Sleek Handling

The super narrow Kenda Kwest 700Cx28 tires are nimble and take corners well. Although many heavier, wider-tire electric bikes demand substantial slowing before a turn, I was able to go around corners smoothly on the 700C tires.

Plus, I like knowing that I have less chance of popping a tire on a nasty thorn since so little tire actually hits the road.

Smooth Transitions

I always felt in control of the Roadster. During testing, I went a couple of miles per hour faster with each pedal assist level increase, while I pedaled at a consistent cadence.

Small But Comfortable Saddle

I felt stable and comfy on the ergonomic gel road bike saddle. This is a pro I didn’t expect from a narrow seat. 

Despite having all of the benefits of an electric road bike, the Roadster is missing a couple of features you might not want to do without, even at this price point.

Cons of the Ride1Up Roadster V2

First, there are no lights. Even though I don’t plan on riding in the dark, I’ve been caught riding home at sunset numerous times when it would be a safety hazard not to have both a headlight and taillight.

Also, there’s no kickstand. Okay, I know it’s typical to leave off a kickstand on a road bike, so this is more of a preference. However, when I wanted to get off the Roadster to get something in my bike bag, I had to find a tree or building to lean it on. I wasn’t about to lay this beautiful new e-bike on the ground. But, if you’re concerned about the kickstand’s extra weight or the bike’s aerodynamics, then you might be perfectly happy with no kickstand.

The other con that can be improved upon is road bump comfort. I felt a few hard bumps that could get pretty uncomfortable during a long ride, even though I set the tire pressure to the low end of the recommended PSI range. To deal with this, I recommend getting a suspension seatpost to soften the blow from the slender road tires. Ride1Up offers a nice touring package with an upgraded cushioned saddle, 350mm suspension seatpost, and a handlebar mirror to improve comfort and safety. You can find this $75 road bike package here.

What You Need to Know Before You Buy

Power

The Ride1up V2 Roadster has an efficient 350W rear hub motor. Plus, its 40 Newton Meters torque easily zooms this ultra-lightweight Class 3 e-bike over 20 miles per hour! So, although there’s no throttle, it isn’t needed.

Range

You can expect to ride a range of 20-30 miles on one battery charge. This depends primarily on your weight and level of pedal assist. You’ll get the low end of the range if you ride on levels 4 and 5, and even lower if you attempt to tackle hills. This range assumes you’ll be riding on flat terrain.

Sizing and Fit

Because the Roadster is a step-over ebike, make sure to measure your inseam so you’ll fit comfortably on either the Large or Small frame. As you can see, even the small frame crossbar fits a bit too tight for my 5’1” height and inseam. 

Assembly

I’m happy to say that the Roadster was quick and easy to assemble. I watched the Ride1Up short assembly video, checked out the owner’s manual, and easily lifted the bike to get the front tire on by myself. It’s pretty exciting to head out for a ride in around 45 minutes of opening the box. 

The biggest challenge was to untwist the handlebars before tightening and to assemble the pedals by turning them in the correct direction. Both of these steps are easy to do.

A Few Other Notes

The Roadster V2 comes with water bottle bosses and an integrated bike bell. Plus, you can choose from 3 colors: Burgundy, like the review e-bike, Silver, or Black.

Is the Ride1Up Roadster V2 E-Bike for You?

The affordable Roadster v2 is a great option for urban riders and commuters. It offers the benefit of pedal assist on a lightweight electric bike that looks and feels much like a standard bicycle.

And if you’re looking for simple, this single-speed belt drive ebike is it. There aren’t any gears, a clunky chain, or a confusing display to get in the way of just enjoying your ride.

However, if you want an electric bike that handles off-road terrain, then you might check out the all-terrain Gravel Roadster.

If you’re still reading this Ride1Up Roadster Review, I suspect you’ll find one of these version 2 Roadsters is perfect for you. Just as I’ve found in my other Ride1Up e-bike reviews, the Roadster V2 price is unbeatable for a quality budget electric road bike. I like that it’s fast, quiet, easy to manage, and low maintenance… perfect for a city, commuter, or recreational rider.
