Is it for you?
Best suited to
Riders who want a folding fat tyre e-bike for sand, gravel and holiday trips, with the option of a second battery for long days.
Standout strength
A plug and play second battery option that RILU claims takes range to 100km, on a folding frame with 20 x 4 tyres and a 100mm fork.
The main compromise
A claimed 26kg makes it the heaviest RILU to lift, and the brand's own page gives conflicting range, weight and step over figures.
Consider something else if
You need something light to lift (see the URBAN) or mostly ride smooth paths, where 4-inch tyres add drag and weight.
Check before you buy
Price the optional extender battery with your dealer, and confirm the weight and standard range, as the RILU page quotes more than one figure for each.
