Is it for you?
Best suited to
Riders who want retro European scooter looks on a pedal assist bike and do not need to lift it often.
Standout strength
The biggest battery in the range at 720Wh, hydraulic discs and head turning retro styling, now $1,000 off.
The main compromise
36kg is very heavy for a bicycle, and assistance uses a cadence style pedal sensor rather than a torque sensor.
Consider something else if
You need to carry it, store it upstairs or want a torque sensor.
Check before you buy
TEBCO lists Cherry and Silver colours but only shows red. Confirm the colour and the sale price with your dealer.

How much does the TEBCO GiaCarlo weigh?
