We have reviewed competitors to the K16 - some are fiddly to fold, some look like a toy under a big rider, some you have to remove the forks to access the battery, many are too heavy, some with Mag drives have no power, some only accommodate short riders, some are dangerous with tiny wheels, some have very poor hill climbing ability, some are very expensive … some may look like the K16, but it has taken 12 months of R&D to get the details right so that the bike fulfils its intended purpose as a true commuter electric bicycle.
