Is it for you?
Best suited to
Riders who want an easy on, easy off step-through commuter with hydraulic brakes and a suspension fork, bought through a local dealer.
Standout strength
The 4th generation adds Tektro hydraulic disc brakes and what RILU claims is 20% more hill climbing power, with an IP65 rating and a 45cm step-through frame.
The main compromise
A 24kg hub-drive bike with 7 speeds, and RILU does not publish a price or an EN 15194 statement.
Consider something else if
You prefer a cruiser riding position and balloon tyres (see the CRUZE) or need a bike that folds (see the NOMAD or URBAN).
Check before you buy
Make sure your dealer is selling the 4th generation with hydraulic brakes, and confirm the local price.
