Malan –
As a recently newer bike rider, I wanted a bike to match my riding skills, speed, and lifestyle. I chose Urban Rush and was pleasantly surprised by how in-tune the bike is with me as a rider. Often, I ride in both local parks and trails and this bike is the perfect choice. It has a Pedal Assist System and a high-performing 3X7 Speed Gear Shifter to accommodate how I want to ride, either slower or faster. The engine itself is an extremely powerful 250Watt motor which powers up steep hills in the cities or trails. I’m so happy I chose UrbanRush and you should too!

So, I bought this bike knowing full well that some of the parts needed to be installed by hand. However, I was blown away how fast, easy, and simple the installation process was. It only took a short time to fully install the front wheel, seat, and other parts. I was out riding within a short period and the ride was great. Installation was a breeze!
