Comments
The Smartmotion E20 has a step-through design, and it can be folded when put in storage or when packing it in the car for a trip. Its rear, hub-drive motor can provide a noticeable kick on level ground, but we had to use almost all its muscle when climbing hills. There is a throttle that can be used to access all of the motor's power on demand, while you make a pedalling motion.
