Is it for you?
Best suited to
Apartment dwellers and car, caravan or boat owners who want the lightest, cheapest RILU, a 20-inch folder under 20kg.
Standout strength
RILU's lightest model at a claimed 19.5kg, with an in-frame removable battery, integrated lights and a $1,790 dealer price.
The main compromise
A small 360Wh battery with a claimed 40km in PAS 3, a rigid fork, and a 200W motor with a 20 km/h throttle that sits outside EN 15194.
Consider something else if
You want more range and front suspension (see the NOMAD), or a throttle that stays within the 6 km/h EN 15194 limit.
Check before you buy
Check how your state treats a 200W e-bike with a 20 km/h throttle, and pick your colour with the dealer.
