What should you look for when making a choice?
Here's how to find the bike that's right for you.
Weight
Do you regularly carry your bike up stairs or into your car? If so, it’s a good idea to consider the weight. Our 20-inch models weigh 20 to 21.5 kg, and the 28-inch NuVinci weighs 26 kg.
Range
How far do you want to go? With our models, you can ride up to 95 km (Maxi Plus and Nautica), up to 120 km (Maxi de Luxe), or even up to 130 km (NuVinci) on a single battery charge. That’s enough for a good day trip, and you can go even further by selecting a lower assistance level.
Engine Position
A mid-drive motor is positioned low and centrally, making the bike feel stable, even on hills and when carrying a heavier load. A rear-wheel motor provides a natural riding experience.
Wheel size
Smaller wheels are agile and compact. Larger wheels provide a smoother ride, even over speed bumps and on rough roads.
Folding and Storing
Measure the spot where you'll be storing your bike to make sure it fits properly when folded. Also check how smoothly the folding mechanism works.
