| Who it suits | |||
| Best suited to | Long-distance commuters who want suspension at both ends and no gears to think about. | The rider who wants a light, minimal German city bike rather than a loaded touring machine. | |
| Main trade-off | It is heavy, and the Core trim still costs more than most complete e-bikes. | A 400Wh battery is small, so the range extender becomes a real consideration. | |
