Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Elegant e-bike is equipped with the 26″ aluminum model. These wheels give you great handling over your e-bike. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. VoltBike Elegant has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
