Townie Go! 8D EQ Step-Over components
Fork material
The fork is made out of steel, which is tougher than carbon in the case of an impact. However, it can add some extra weight to the e-bike.
Wheels
The Townie Go! 8D EQ Step-Over 2021 e-bike is equipped with aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. 650b wheels make a great choice if you want to sacrifice speed for comfort. However, if you want higher speeds, you should look for a bike with 700c wheels.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Townie Go! 8D EQ Step-Over has Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
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.
