And, saving the best for last: the motor has SERIOUS oompf! The initial "launch" while in pedal assist level 1 is like a rocket ship - in fact, I nearly lost grip of the bike so I could see it being a problem for some. I expect there is a relatively inexpensive solution, to replace the seat post with a longer one, but since I do not need it, I haven't researched this topic. In terms of riding, I'm 5'4" (162cm), and find the bike very comfortable, even for pedaling - that said, I would imagine someone of above-average height, or who has longer legs, may have issues with the pedals, in that the seat post doesn't go high enough for someone who is tall to extend legs fully. very strange, but I don't intend to ride with a passenger. An oddity about the frame, is that there is clearly a standard/ integrated back seat over the rear wheel, and the bike comes with footrests AND a backrest for the rear passenger - but the instructions very clearly state that a second rider should NOT ride on back. The frame is incredibly well-constructed, folds quite easily, the step-through frame is super convenient, and I'm in love with the purple color. I do see a note on the battery itself, that it's important for the health of the battery, to fully recharge within 24 hours of emptying the battery I haven't seen that notation on a Lithium Ion battery before, but it's an easy item with which to comply. There were no instructions whatsoever on charging the Lithium Ion battery, but it appears to be a simple plug & wait until the light on the charger's brick turns green. I had seen some reviews that the assembly manual is poorly written - and while I won't disagree, I did not have any issues getting the bike together on my own. For reference: I assembled this bike 3 days ago, and have only ridden it two times.
