Comments
The Vamos El Rapido is a step-through bike with front and rear carrying capacity. It has a rear hub-drive motor with more power than other bikes we've tested (up to 32kp/h) and it can gain speed quickly as you change gears. It was lots of fun to ride, because we could just use the first pedal assist level and still access all of the motor's power by cycling normally and changing gears, rather than playing with the assist level on the computer. The handlebar height can be adjusted for optimal comfort, and suspension at the front, and on the seat post, made the overall ride very smooth.
