GILI VELO components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this e-bike has an aluminum one, which doesn’t add too much extra weight to the e-bike. However, it is not so stiff as steel or carbon forks are.
Wheels
The wheels on GILI VELO are the 20″ aluminum type. This wheel size is used on bike models like BMX, children, or folding bikes. In conclusion, you can use them better on-road, and less on technical terrain.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Polygon GILI VELO has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
Sizes
This e-bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
