Fork material
The fork on this e-bike 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 size
When leaving the production line, the Mendocino 26in Step-Thru Electric Bike 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
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Mendocino 26in Step-Thru Electric Bike has Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, they don’t have the stopping power of hydraulic brakes.
