JJDT Posted November 30, 2017 Share Those Makro jobbies are heavy propably weighs more than an e-bike. The bike would be perfect on the road as just a commuter but only limited.On the other side of the coin there are a lot of commuters on these bikes that do not worry about the weight, the components etc. as long as it works. For these persons it might be ok but if you need to do some serious riding there are other "cheaper" options that is slightly better but only at certain bike shops like Cajees.

Mine normally entails a bunch of big words, some jagged reflexes and a hop or two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
