I'll get straight to it: the Tenways CGO600 Pro is a standout in the urban e-bike market.
This is a truly beautiful minimal urban e-bike, and it's evident that Tenways has put a lot of thought into making a bike that not only performs well but also looks great doing it. Its clean lines and understated aesthetic make it a joy to look at, and it's an ideal fit for city riders who appreciate both form and function.
One of the most impressive aspects of the CGO600 Pro is how "normal" it feels compared to other e-bikes.
Riding this bike is the closest I've come to the experience of riding a traditional, non-electric bike. The key benefit here is that it effortlessly keeps you cruising at a steady 25 km/h, making it particularly effective when you're battling headwinds or climbing gentle hills.
The motor provides just the right amount of assistance, making your ride smoother without overpowering the natural cycling feel.
However, it's important to note that this is a single-speed bike. While the motor does a good job of helping you up small to moderate inclines, you might find yourself struggling a bit on steeper hills, as there are no gears to drop into for extra help.
This limitation might be a consideration if your commute involves significant elevation changes, but for most urban environments, it’s more than sufficient.
The Tenways CGO600 Pro shines as a commuter bike, equipped with all the key features you'd want for daily riding. It comes with front and rear fenders, which are essential for keeping you clean on wet roads, and a built-in front light that is controlled directly from the bike’s mini-computer.
The clip-on rear light is a thoughtful addition, enhancing your visibility during evening rides. The inclusion of a belt drive is another standout feature; it’s virtually maintenance-free, meaning the only regular upkeep you’ll need to worry about is keeping the tires properly inflated. This makes it an incredibly low-maintenance option for busy commuters.
If there’s one slight downside to this bike, it would be the handlebar grips. Initially, I found them a bit uncomfortable, but over time I got used to them. And honestly, this is a minor issue that's easily fixable with a quick swap to grips that better suit your preferences.
At £1,799, the Tenways CGO600 Pro offers exceptional value for money. It’s a well-rounded e-bike that delivers on both style and substance, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their commute with something that feels just as good to ride as it does to look at.
Whether you’re new to e-bikes or a seasoned rider, this bike is sure to impress with its balance of aesthetics, practicality, and performance.
