Is it for you?
Best suited to
Relaxed riders who want an upright cruiser with balloon tyres, a low 45cm step over and a comfortable saddle for bike paths and trails.
Standout strength
Comfort focused geometry with wide sweptback bars, a vegan leather saddle and 2.3-inch balloon tyres, plus a claimed 70km in PAS 2.
The main compromise
At 24kg with a hub motor and 7 speeds it is built for cruising rather than climbing.
Consider something else if
You want hydraulic brakes (see the ONYX) or a bike that folds for the car or apartment (see the NOMAD or URBAN).
Check before you buy
Confirm the price with your local dealer, as RILU does not publish one and dealer listings differ by $100.
