City, trail, folding or cargo: four questions that tell you which bike fits the way you ride.

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.
