The following points have been compiled from various reviews. When you read a bike’s reviews, patterns can be seen.

Strengths

• Overall, I am enjoying this bike!

Weaknesses

• Difficult Folding and Unfolding. I am improving my technique and it's manageable. Because of weight distribution, the bike is awkward. Folding is more awkward than unfolding. It's considerably easier when the battery is removed. Another dilemma is that when the bike is fully folded, it leans HEAVILY to the right because one of the tires is almost a foot higher than the other.
