Overview of components
Fork material
The fork is made out of steel, which tends to be more flexible than carbon forks in general. However, a carbon fork is considerably lighter.
Wheels size
The Townie Go! 7D Step-Over 2020 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, they don’t perform so well when you go over bumps and obstacles.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Townie Go! 7D Step-Over has Mechanical Disc brakes. These brakes are also very popular, and a lot cheaper than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
Sizes
Trek Townie Go! 7D Step-Over 2020 is available in one size only. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
