Comments
The Sunmono E-Mono Atlas is an electric bike with a long, padded tail, bars and foot rests, which can be used for carrying small children or cargo. It has a rear-hub motor that provides a good dose of power, but we found it to be inconsistent when supplying that power. How much power the motor gives will depend on the assist level used, and we had to use it regularly to control the speed of the bike, especially when turning or making subtle movements. A supplied throttle isn't limited to the legal limit of 6km/h, but instead can provide the full speed of the chosen assist level. We found this bike to be a little unpredictable in its performance, and it also took some time to get used to the way it handles when carrying a load.
