Comments
The Benno eJoy can carry more load than most other models, the rear rack built in to the frame has a 40kg capacity and a matching front rack is an optional extra. The bike looks relaxed but we found it rides efficiently at speed and up and down hills with confident handling – the ride position means it's not suited to a very long fast commute though. There's no suspension, but large-volume tyres and a plush saddle take the edge off bumps and make the ride comfortable. Our testers thought the Bosch Active motor was a little under-powered, but 2020 model will come with the torquier Performance motor. The attention to detail in this bike was exemplary – most testers agreed it would be a pleasure to own and ride an eJoy.
