It has performed well so far. It’s a bit noisy compared to similar bikes and is a bit too heavy for the over 65’s. Coming from a conventional Brompton the gearing is very high and therefore very little resistance is felt and you won’t get any kind of workout on your legs and your unassisted bike speed is quite limited even when your in 7th gear. The bike is sturdy, folds easily and is quick to set up and take down. The large gel saddle is comfortable and lifts up when you want to remove the battery. The Battery has not been tested to the advertised range so I’m yet to be delighted or disappointed. The lights are a bit flimsy and the cabling to them is a bit iffy, but they work well. The bike is comfortable on semi rough trail paths and has good assistance on moderate hill climbs. The Gear change lever is easy to operate and the control for the electric motor easy to use. The electric walking assist mode is useful when I had to walk up a short but very steep slope. I’ve only scored a 3 star because its early days and the bike has not been tested enough, it may well get a higher mark if it the current level of enjoyment is maintained. I’m not sure compared to similar models if the price is a little on the high side, recommend you buy in a sale or negotiate a discount.
