to make it fit your preferences and style Large 180mm hydraulic brakes with quad piston calipers provide excellent stopping power, probably more than you need for most city riding and that means you dont have to pull as hard or worry about loading the rack with gear or a bicycle child seat, I love that the brake levers offer tool-free adjustable reach for quick tuning if youve worn through some of the brake pad or put on some gloves for a cold day Shimano Deore XT is a mid to high-level derailleur and ten speeds is enough to let you climb and reach higher speeds comfortably (great for a Class 3 product with ~28 mph top speed if you upgrade to the D-Series motor), I like that it comes with a one way clutch feature to reduce chain bounce (the little grey lever, point it up to tighten the chain) The chainring has an alloy guard to keep your pants or skirt clean, it will protect the teeth if you hit a curb and also help to keep the chain from falling off the chainring itself uses a narrow-wide tooth pattern for extra grab, this is usually something I only see on high-end mountain bikes and it helps eliminate the need for a full guide Look at the double-tube design and reinforcement gusset near the base of the seat tube, OHM has overbuilt this thing to be stiff and responsive while many other step-thru ebikes feel flexy I like how the motor power cable is really tucked in and protected on the left side of the frame, cheaper hub motors often have a cable that sticks way out on the right side which can get snagged and damaged easier Cons: I appreciate how the kickstand is adjustable length but it still gets in the way where its mounted, just below and behind the left crank arm, if you back the bike up or pedal with the stand deployed, it will collide and cause pedal lock OHM has moved away from dealers, they only sell direct now, which means it could be difficult to go for a test ride and see which size fits perfectly unless you live near their factory store in North Vancouver, BC Canada If you opt for the P350 hub motor, it doesnt offer as much torque as the 500 watt D-Series motor used on other models from OHM (including the OHM Mountain), and it actually weighs more than the D-Series because of the alloy casing vs
