CGO600 PRO tenways: affordable electric assistance bike

€ 1,799 on tenways

If the Tenways brand does not tell you anything, it’s normal. Freshly appeared on the market, she claims to be an association of cyclists through the globe (Read: a Chinese manufacturer who tries not to say that he is Chinese). Still, Tenways has the merit of having offices in Europe. After the success of his CGO600, Tenways decides to decline it in a pro version. It is mainly differentiated by the integration of a front lighthouse in terms of frame and the appearance of a removable battery. For 200 € more, these improvements are significant and are worth it.

For its price, the tenways proposal is rather honest with concessions judiciously chosen. For less than € 2,000, Tenways equips its bike with a light engine with a torque sensor and hydraulic brakes for a weight not exceeding 16 kilos. If it is not the lightest, it remains far from certain models that can weigh an additional ten kilos. The frame is made of aluminum and absolutely nothing is suspended on bikes.

The maintenance is simplified by the presence of a belt which aims to offer only one speed. The engine delivers a modest torque of 35 Nm which, associated with the Single Speed, will quickly show its weaknesses on the slopes. On dish, on the other hand, the CGO600 pro tenways offers the best of itself with discreet and natural accompaniment of pedaling efforts with correct autonomy.

Daily advantages of urban electric bicycle

The development of electric assistance bikes is virtuous in more ways than one. The city dweller which favors the use of the VAE opts for a softer, more pleasant, less restrictive, mode of movement, which contributes to a form of personal development. Traffic stress and associated fatigue are forgotten.

VAE DE VILLE allows you to have regular physical activity, profitable at all levels. With the electric bike, you escape the constraints and vagaries of traffic, you have a real Vélotaf solution which can often replace a second car. At the city level, the progression of the electric bike also has the positive effect of reducing the number of cars, of unclogging the roads.

All VAEs to ride in town: electric city bike, electric hiking bike, electric VTC

In town, you can come across different types of electrical assistance bikes. There are urban VAE specially equipped for daily use. These electric city bikes are betting above all on driving comfort, most often by adopting a frame open to the low, in the manner of traditional Dutch bikes. The position is straightened, relaxed, the easy handling on the curved handlebars.

You will also find urban electric bikes with a dynamic look, with a more sporty temperament. You will find very specific urban vae (folding electric bikes) and very versatile VAE, comfortable in town as in hiking, on the paths. These are electric VTCs or electric hiking bikes, which receive equipment comparable to classic city VAEs (luggage racks, mudguards, lighting, etc.).

Electric urban bike – what specificities ?

Visually, electric city bikes are slightly distinguished from muscle city bikes. The VAEs embark on the elements of the assistance: the motor unit, the battery and the console. Depending on the range levels, the integration of these components is more or less advanced. The basic urban VAEs generally have an external battery, positioned on the frame or on the luggage rack. High -end urban electric bikes hide the battery inside the frame.

The Urban VAEs are all-equipped. Most of the time, they provide lighting, a luggage rack, mudguards, a crutch, possibly a framework of framework. They can receive special components, such as VAE approved tires. For the rest, the transmission systems (hub or external derailleur) and braking (disc brakes) are common with traditional city bikes.
