Available in two frame sizes and three color schemes. Custom dot-matrix LED display panel with voice control, fingerprint ID locking, optional smartphone app. Modest 250 watt 35nm geared hub motor is compact and quiet, paired with the bottom bracket torque sensor it performs above-average. Downtube-integrated battery pack is removable, offers decent range , refills quickly with 4 amp charger. Extra bright integrated front and rear lights are positioned well. Two side lights project turn signal arrows onto the street for even greater visibility and safety. Decent 160mm hydraulic disc brakes stop well and offer adjustable-reach levers. High-step frame is tall, and could be difficult for some to mount and stand over. No bottle cage bosses, limited attachment points for accessories like a rear rack and fenders. Voice commands didn’t work well when moving. Custom stem, handlebar, and seat post might not work with aftermarket parts such as a suspension seatpost.
