Lankeleisi ES500 Pro

A step-through city e-bike with 24 x 2.4-inch Kenda tyres, a 250 W motor and a removable 48 V 14.5 Ah battery, set to 25 km/h at the factory. It has a half-twist throttle that drives it without pedalling up to that speed, a suspension fork, mechanical disc brakes and a Shimano 7-speed gearset, and Lankeleisi's EU store says it can be unlocked to 35 km/h for private land.
