Light & Lively

These are bikes that feel more like a normal bike to ride. I'm not chasing the lightest spec sheet here. This is about being light on your feet. Easier to manoeuvre, easier to store, easier to live with. If you still want to pedal properly and enjoy the ride at lower assistance levels, these are the ones I'd point you towards.
