Overview of components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this e-bike has a steel one, which tends to be more flexible than carbon forks in general. However, a carbon fork is considerably lighter.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Townie Go! 8D Step-Thru model has 26″ aluminum wheels. These wheels give you great handling over your e-bike. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Electra Townie Go! 8D Step-Thru is equipped with Mechanical Disc brakes. These brakes are also very popular, and a lot cheaper than hydraulic disk brakes. However, with hydraulic disk brakes, you have the ultimate braking power!
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.
