Introduction: The Often Misunderstood Nature of "Smallness"
The size of the bike is often cited as a "disadvantage of 20-inch electric assist bikes." It is true that it is much more maneuverable than a regular 26-inch bike, but this compactness is what makes it the "optimum solution" for modern city dwellers.
In fact, a survey has shown that 20-inch electric assist bicycles account for 30% of bicycles parked in front of train stations in central Tokyo . In a narrow living space and complex urban environment, there are increasing cases where traditional "disadvantages" are turned into advantages.
Five reasons to choose a 20-inch electric assist bicycle
1. "Super maneuverability" that weaves through the narrow spaces of the city
A compact body that doubles your living space
The compact 1550 x 1200 x 860 mm frame is ideal for:
- Easy to carry into apartment elevator (weight 43kg)
- Perfect match for coin lockers in front of train stations
- Saves space when stored indoors at home
Comment from Ms. Yamada (pseudonym), a housewife living in central Tokyo:
"I drive 3km to the supermarket and before I struggled to find a place to park my 26-inch bike, but now I can fit a 20-inch bike in the gap."
Amazing 100km range
The power of a 48V high-power motor
The combination of a 500W motor and 7-speed (Shimano) transmission delivers:
- Easily climb a 35 degree gradient
- Can run continuously at an average speed of 20km/h
- Battery level indicator for peace of mind
* According to a survey by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the average distance traveled by bicycle in Japan is 10.2km per day . This means that charging once a week is enough.
Rigidity capable of carrying 180kg
Dispelling the misconception that lightweight does not equal weakness
- Double front and rear suspension protects luggage
- Reinforced steel carriers as standard
