Townie Go! 7D Step-Thru components
Fork material
The fork on this e-bike 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
When leaving the production line, the Townie Go! 7D Step-Thru model has 26″ aluminum wheels. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. 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. Trek Townie Go! 7D Step-Thru is equipped with Mechanical Disc brakes. They are much easier to maintain than hydraulic disk brakes. However, performance-wise there is room for improvement.
Sizes
This e-bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In conclusion, double-check its size to make sure it’s a good fit for you.
