Alfawise X1: Design

If we talk about design, we have an urban electric bike. It is available only in black colors, but it looks great.

The body is made of aluminum alloy, painted with matte paint. It looks beautiful, while weights a little. The basis of the bike is the frame. It has a built-in battery. The steering wheel sticks out of the frame, while the seat in the back.

By the way, the seat is sports, and it is designed for a long service life.

The LED beam lamp is Located in front. Light reflectors are also in place. The pedals are made of plastic. To be honest, Alfawise X1 doesn’t look like an electric bike, because the motor and battery are in the frame, and nobody sees them.

Alfawise X1: Ergonomics

Initially, it seems that Alfawise bike is uncomfortable, and you cannot ride fast. Yes, the design is really strange and unusual, but when you sit behind the wheel, you get the impression that you are riding a regular bike. You can adjust the seat height and the steering wheel to suit your preferences. So Alfawise X1 electric bicycle will suit both an adult and a teenager.

The steering wheel has rubber lining for a more comfortable grip. On the right of steering wheel is rear brake disc, on the left – front brake disk. The brakes are strong enough, so you need to be careful.

The same steering wheel has on-board computer with LED display. It shows speed, battery charge, distance, etc. There are three control buttons and charging connector under the screen.

The dimensions of Alfawise X1 are compact. It is similar to the classic BMX, but Alfawise bike can be folded, which is an indispensable thing for many. Electric bicycle is folded in a minute, and it takes a space almost 2 times less. The weight is 17 kg, while the maximum load on the bike is 120 kg.

Alfawise X1: Riding

If you think that electric bike can ride only on motor, then you are wrong. Alfawise X1 allows to choose one of 5 levels of moped mode or 100% electric mode. As practice has shown, 250W electric motor is enough to move around the city.

The maximum mode allows you to reach speed up to 25 km/h in few seconds. It is an indescribable experience, when the bike picks up speed so fast. The size of the wheels is 14 inches (35.56 cm).

The brakes work very well, especially the rear disc. Since the average speed of an electric bike is always higher than a regular bicycle, it is necessary to learn how to use the brakes. You should always use both brakes, starting from the rear and gently pressing the front. Despite the folding multi-element design and the absence of any shock absorbers, the bike behaves quite predictably.

Alfawise X1: Battery

On the presentation of Alfawise X1, the manufacturer promised up to 55 km of riding on a single battery charge. When you use only motor, without pedaling, then the maximum distance reduced to 30 km, which is still very good.

The lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 7.5Ah. Of course, when the battery is completely discharged, you can continue driving without the motor on. The full battery charge takes about 4-5 hours.

Alfawise X1: Price

• Design;
• Compact size;
