Because it's a fifth the weight and a quarter the width of an e-scooter (think of a vespa). Bikes do get stolen in China but that's because people don't lock them up (or use the worlds flimsiest lock. Usually p*ssed up expats with a false sense of security forgetting lock it up. It won't get...

Keep it in the room. Another plus for an eMTB. It'll fit in the hotel lift.

How long is the sale on for?

Hello Guys, I posted an introduction but it was suggested I should ask here too. A bit of a long story but I need some advice. I'm working out in China for the foreseeable future. I won't be able to get a local license so motorbikes and cars are not an option. This leaves me hobby-less...

Hi, I'm working out in China and am looking for something to do to fill my time and to get around. I can't get a drivers license here so that rules out a car or motorbike so I started looking at e-bikes. There are hundreds of scooter-type bikes available for next to nothing but I'm quite...
