Standout strength
Vintage looks with hydraulic disc brakes and a Bluetooth display at a low sale price.
The main compromise
A small battery of about 353Wh and a Hi-Ten steel fork, and the page conflicts on battery and torque figures.
Consider something else if
You need a big battery or hill climbing torque. The Quest 2 has a mid-drive.
Check before you buy
Confirm the battery capacity with Reid and check stock in your size.
