SmartMotion E-City

Overview:

The SmartMotion eCity electric bike / ebike is not only fantastic value, it is super comfortable and easy to ride with plenty of power from the rear wheel to get you up those hills.  It is a great commuter or city bike featuring upgraded Shimano Altus 8 shifters, integrated lights and extra plush seat with suspension seat post. It also features an integrated USB charge port in the battery for charging cell phones, etc and an extra large 15Ah battery for lots of range.

Differences from the lesser eMetro

• Rear wheel drive vs. front wheel drive
• Front fork suspension vs. rigid forks
  • NB that makes the eCity incompatible with a front carry rack
• Integrated front battery powered light vs. reflector only
• Bigger battery pack (15ah vs. 10ah)
• LCD travel computer / speedo / odometer etc. vs. nothing
• Pedal activated throttle vs. throttle
• 8 speed derailleur (better on hills) vs. 3 speed internal hub (better on flat)
