Overview of components
Fork material
The fork on this e-bike is made out of steel, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels
The wheels on Townie Go! 8D Step-Over are the 26″ aluminum type. Being a little smaller, these wheels will fit both small and tall riders. However, they provide less traction than 29″ wheels do.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Trek Townie Go! 8D Step-Over has Mechanical Disc brakes installed. These brakes are also very popular, and a lot cheaper 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, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
