Comparison and positioning

⚠ Homologation note: The product sheet mentions a power output of 1500W and a speed limited to 25 km/h. The nominal power exceeds the European legal threshold of 250W. The absence of an explicit EU-compliant version option is an important point of concern: this bike should be considered as an off-road vehicle, not approved for use on public roads in the European Union. Check the regulations in force in your country.
