Display screen failed within a week and the charger port seal broke after two wet rides. Electronics feel cheap for a bike at this price. Avoid.

Far too heavy for carrying over gates and stiles on bridleways. The motor helps on the flat but the extra weight makes technical sections harder not e...

Motor cut out completely mid-ride after a puddle crossing. Warranty claim took two months. Totally unreliable in wet conditions.
