Love this bike
Yes , I recommend this product
Bought this bike a few months ago and am very pleased with the purchase. The bike is a “bullet-proof” solid performer on roads and trails. It grips turns on road and gravel like a champ. The battery lasts longer than I thought is would….I typically have 30-50% left in the tank after 40 miles. I carry an accessory Bosch battery if I plan rides over 40 miles of hilly terrain. The motor assist is amazing, very smooth and quiet…..I used to be an e-bike skeptic until I tried this bike…..gets you over hills like a pro and allows you total flexibility in how hard you push the ride.
