27.5" Hardtail Electric Mountain Bike E-ST520 - Black/Purple

You have to pedal to go forward!The electrical assistance supplements your pedalling to help you overcome obstacles. You can enjoy your mountain bike rides for longer, and even out the abilities within a group. Some women even find that the electric mountain bike is what gets them back in the saddle!The rear motor, with its cadence sensor, stops the electrical assistance when you stop pedalling.The walking mode compensates for the weight of the bike when you need to put your feet down.

The "women comfort sport" saddle on the women's E.ST 520 is ergonomic: with a hollow centre and sporty design to prevent chafing and irritation for mountain bike rides lasting 3 hours or more.The 60 mm stem is shorter, as women's torsos are shorter. This prevents an overly horizontal position which may cause back or neck pain. The position can be raised by placing an adapter under the stem.The fork can be adjusted to your weightThe 680 mm handlebar is narrower

Several sizes available:S: between 1.50m and 1.64mM: between 1.65m and 1.74mL: between 1.75m and 1.84mIf you are on the limit between 2 sizes:Choose the smaller size for easier steering (easier to handle), comfort (straighter back) and an easier step-through.
