How to charge, store and ride so the battery keeps its range for five years and more.

Start with your ride

Think about the trip you make most often, not the one you dream of. A daily five kilometres to work asks for a different bike from a weekend of gravel.

Look at what matters

Range, weight and the motor's position change how a bike feels more than any number on the spec sheet.

  • A hub motor is quiet and simple, and suits flat towns.
  • A mid-drive climbs better and feels more natural on hills.
  • A lighter bike is easier to carry up stairs and onto trains.

Ride before you decide

Every bike comes with a thirty-day test ride. Take it on your own roads, in your own weather.

The best bike is the one you reach for every day.
