Today there are many models of e-bicycles that are distinguished by their power, comfort and manufacturability.

The saddle is an important point to consider, especially for those who rarely train, because sitting on a bike for several hours can cause quite unpleasant pain. Luckily, there are padded saddles these days that provide very pleasant comfort.

To do this, we recommend disc brakes, and we also equip a high visibility helmet and vest in order to ride in better conditions.
