"Strengths: Feels solid and comfortable. Plenty of power even on steep hills (with modest pedal assistance). Lower gears (assisting motor) coped with all hills (up to 1 in 4) without problem or sweat. Full-width throttle grip — I don't like those thumb-and-forefinger types. Full-power/economy switch (though a third - "power off" - option would have been welcome). Ability to start from standstill without pedalling, if needed (can be useful in traffic). Rear hub motor, which I feel makes for better weight distribution and road-holding. Convenient position of gear change control (lever and button variety, which I had not encountered before, but which I now prefer). I get about 20 miles from the battery if using full power, and more if I ride more economically. Weaknesses: Highest gear not really high enough to avoid "pedalling air" at speed. Position of lock means key tends to get bent, presumably by heel contact - I have positioned a small bracket to protect it. No means of clipping folded bike together — I use a strap, which is not quite firm enough. Hardly any height adjustment to handlebars. Summary: So far this bike has done everything I wanted, and is the best electric folder that I have tried."
