Comments
The NCM Prague is more mountain bike than road bike, and has a powerful rear hub-drive motor that can make uphill climbs comfortable, even when using a middle level of pedal assistance. Low-speed turns may take some practice to perfect due to the way the motor kicks in. The battery sits noticeably on the down tube, and protrudes a bit each way over the frame. It has a USB-A port for charging external devices such as smartphones.
