ZiYouJiGuang T18: Design
The design of T18 is not much different from most other Chinese electric bikes. The manufacturer did not invent something new, but used a proven appearance.
The bike has a strong body – it is made of aluminum alloy. A bicycle supports a maximum weight of 120 kg. From this we can conclude that new bike is suitable for teenagers, as well as heavy men.
ZiYouJiGuang T18 is available only in black color with yellow stripes, which give the bike a brighter and more sporty appearance.
As we wrote earlier, T18 received a folding design. In order to fold the bike, it is enough to open the mount at the bottom of the handlebar, then tilt the wheel towards the front wheel.
At the bottom of the seat is another mount, which is used to adjust the seat height. You can adjust the seat to a comfortable height for you or fold it completely so that the bike takes up even less space. Moreover, the pedals also fold.
The manufacturer has not forgotten about the comfort during the riding. The seat for the bike is soft and comfortable. On the steering wheel, we see two wide handles, two levers for the front and rear brakes and an LCD-display, which shows the battery level in green and red stripes.
On the right of the display is a key hole and a twist grip. Two control buttons are on the left side: green for horn switch and red for light switch.
The bike has wide and durable tires, as well as front and rear disc brakes. The wheel size is 15.74-inches.
High-quality shock absorbers make a comfortable ride, even on uneven roads. LED lights at the front and rear of the bike ensure safe movement in the dark.
The dimensions of the bike are 115 x 53 x 102 cm, and when folded – only 115 x 53 x 73 cm. The weight is 17.2 kg.
