Rear shocks give you increased comfort, control, and traction, which is important when cornering or braking. This allows you to ride faster on bumpy roads. In conclusion, to increase your riding experience, get a bike with a rear shock if possible.
Wheels
The Moterra 2019 e-bike is equipped with 27.5″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. The 27.5″ wheels are a great choice for smaller riders. However, these wheels have a slower top speed if you compare them to 29″ wheels.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Moterra comes with Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
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.
Dropper post
Cannondale Moterra includes a dropper post. If used correctly, a dropper post gives you more faith, maneuverability, and greater control over your bike.
