  It has torque, starts immediately, very high quality on the climbs, you don't get tired on the straights, it goes "like a bullet," very nice driving. And the whole system is Bafang, which means it is trouble-free and has spare parts. Generally, it doesn't lack anything, and most importantly, it has no issues in heavy rain, it goes without problems

  Here’s what we have:
  - Purchased from Skroutz for 490 euros.
  - I didn't deal with and will not deal with subsidies, etc.
  - It was received in a sealed box, almost assembled. Very good packaging.
  - The only things the user has to install are pedals, saddle, front wheel.
  - Delivered by a transport company, on the sidewalk, due to size and weight.
  - Due to Skroutz plus subscription, I was NOT charged for shipping costs.
  - It comes with a case containing ALL the necessary tools (7-8 pieces). You won't need any other tools besides those included.
  - It also has a front light, which is mounted on the front fork.
  - The instruction booklet is in Greek, but it is general and applies to any electric bicycle.
  - There are no assembly instructions, but they are not needed.
  - The tires were completely deflated upon delivery.
  - It was delivered fully charged.
  - It includes a very lightweight but large charger, with a light (red when charging, green when charging is complete).
  - It has a general ON/OFF switch that isolates the battery.
  - It has a USB port for charging a mobile phone.
  - It has a black and white LCD display, with large and easily readable indicators (speed, kilometers traveled, remaining battery energy, etc.).
  - It has a throttle, allowing you to move without pedaling.
  - It has 6 levels of electric assistance, 0-5, where 0 means a regular bicycle without electric assistance.
  - The battery IS REMOVABLE. - It comes with a pair of keys that unlock it for removal. The battery is inside the frame. To remove it, you simply break the bike in half, revealing the battery with its lock.
  - The overall build quality of the bike is more than good for its price.
  - The bike itself is NO NAME, but its motor is branded bafang-e.com, which means that there will logically be spare parts available if needed, such as a battery.
  - It has 7 Shimano gears, satisfactory for a city bike.
  - Mechanical disc brakes front and rear.
  - It folds at three points and fits in a car trunk.
  - It has front and rear shock absorbers.

  Now, let's talk about the riding experience:

  - I am presbyopic (57 years old) and read ALL the indicators on the screen WITHOUT GLASSES, with remarkable ease.
  - I weigh 115 kg, with a height of 1.83, and the bike is comfortable. COMFORTABLE.
  - The height of the handlebars and saddle is adjustable for people from 1.50 to 1.80.
  - The 250W motor, I don't know how they made it, but it pulls very well. It doesn't hesitate on any uphill, even with just the throttle.
  - On steep hills, you need to pedal a bit, but you don't even feel it as fatigue. The bike flies.
  I remind you that I am 1.83 tall and weigh 115 kg.

  - Top speed with electric assistance is 25 km/h.
  - On a downhill, I reached just over 30 km/h, but it can be intimidating; after all, it's a bike, not a scooter.
  - At a traffic light, from a stop, with the first pedal stroke, it takes off immediately and goes like a rocket. Drivers in cars looked at me "strangely" at the traffic lights, wondering how the bike takes off so quickly.
  - Its brakes are satisfactory, but not perfect.

  I don't know how long it will last over time, but I've had it for a day and I'm in love with it.

  Finally, for 490 euros, the bike is a steal; don't think about it at all. I was amazed by its performance for a cheap Chinese electric bike.

  The first time you use it, it's a good idea to practice a bit in an open area, without traffic, because it has grips (acceleration), no joke, and you might fall down.

  I don't know what else to write to help the friends who are interested in this particular bike; I hope I've covered everything.

  Please, also cast a vote, positive or negative, for my review, so I know that you are reading me and that I'm not wasting my time writing lengthy posts.

  Nice little bike, beautiful with good front and rear suspension.. good handling, be careful with high speeds downhill as it reaches 50km/h. Unfortunately, the brakes are mechanical disc brakes and I would prefer hydraulic ones. The description states a rear light, but it came without one. It could also have mudguards. It is quite heavy, around 22.5-25kg. Despite being 250W, the motor has high torque and climbs hills easily.
