Is it for you?
Best suited to
Commuters who want a simple 27.5-inch hub-drive e-bike with a suspension fork and a 504Wh battery, bought and serviced through a local dealer.
Standout strength
A 504Wh Samsung cell battery with a claimed 70km in PAS 2, plus a suspension seatpost and front fork for comfort.
The main compromise
A basic 7-speed drivetrain and no published bike weight, with a new generation already announced.
Consider something else if
You want a low step frame or hydraulic brakes (see the ONYX), or you would rather wait for the BOLT Gen 4 that RILU says is coming.
Check before you buy
Ask your dealer whether you are getting current stock or the BOLT Gen 4, and confirm the price locally because RILU does not publish one.
