Is it for you?
We have not ridden this bike. This read is based on the spec sheet and Australian seller information, not a test ride.
Best suited to
Riders who want the Explore E+ low-step comfort and touring capability at a lower entry price than the E+ 1.
Standout strength
Same trekking-ready frame, rack and lighting package as the E+ 1 for noticeably less money, with a lighter 625Wh battery still good for up to 180km.
The main compromise
Lower-spec Tektro brakes and a 75Nm motor instead of the E+ 1's 85Nm Pro unit, and again only size S was listed as available.
