Excellent bike

Everything was neatly packed and delivered quickly. What a beautiful, smooth e-bike. Due to its light weight, it can be easily ridden without support. I installed a luggage rack and bag basket on it because I cycle to work every day (35km). The range could be a little better, but recharging is also easy. No regrets so far.

Not bad handling on rough terrain

Just wanted to share my thoughts on the Denago electric bike. Overall, it's been a great ride! The motor gives a nice boost for tackling hills, and the battery lasts a long time. The only downside is the seat can get a bit uncomfortable on longer rides. The bike feels sturdy, the brakes are responsive.It's definitely made my daily rides more enjoyable.

Great bike

After receiving the bike, it took 30 minutes to unbox and assemble it. The customer service was excellent and showed genuine care and appreciation for me as a customer. The price of an electric car with these features is unbeatable. I bought it during the event and received it on Black Friday, so the discount is pretty impressive. Will definitely do business with Denago again.

So much fun!

My husband and I each purchased an Denago bike. We are in our early 60’s but both of us are still quite active and healthy. It was quite easy to learn to ride them, we practiced in a nice parking lot for about 15 minutes and then we were on our way. They are lots of fun to ride. You can “cheat” by using power as much or as little as you like, VERY EASILY. Thank you so much Denago in making our first E-bike experience a great one! PS We got all of the necessary accessories too: Mirror, Big Light, Helmet. Thanks again!

A Must Buy

Loved the whole experience. The Commute 1 Top has now become our "go to" family transportation. I take my six year old daughter to school every morning. She rides on the back with the passenger package. My wife rides in the back too when we go to the store and says its comfortable. The bike is very useful, comfortable, fast, fun, looks great and saves us money. No more gas or auto repair. We are all in on Denago. Thanks Denago!!!
