Designed to zigzag through the traffic with confidence, Ecobike’s City Ride e-bike is a robust number that’ll sweep up the hills and eat up the miles with ease. Hand built in western Europe, there are two options to turn on the power (throttle or pedal), and you can set the power profile to suit your needs. Capable of wolfing up 60 miles in one charge, the City Ride will make short sharp work of your commute.
