20-inch Electric Assisted Bicycle: The True Value Behind Its Disadvantages

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

"The center of gravity is stable even when buying things for the whole family on the weekend." (Review from a male user in his 40s)
