----------------------------------------------------------------------
Strengths:good price, strong framework, easily set up/folded and stored away
battery and controller in battery housing protected from rain, can be used as pedelec or e-bike (throttle)
good battery, quickly charged, did a 12 mile trip and the battery still had all 3 LCDs on
back suspension realy makes a difference when cycling in the city
light weight, nice design
so far, I went up the hills easily, but did not test it on a real steep ones.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Weaknesses:cheap material used in parts (chain and gears start to rust already),Front and Rear Lights falling appart
might need adjustment when comming out of the box (gears, brakes(e.g. the 6th gear can't be used, since the chain comes off straight away and needs adjustment))
saddle keeps skitting down, since the mechanism to hold it is not the best (workaround: put some tape around the pipe under the saddle)
not very fast, but hey, its only 6 gears
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:for that price, all in all a good buy. you can easily fold the bike, take it to the bus/train, workplace etc.
ideal if you (like me) intend to use it for short to medium distances> your daily trip to work or the swimming pool, shop round the corner etc. or a joyride at the weekend.
for longer journeys or hilly areas, I recommand a larger pedelec with 18 gears e.g.
