The modernized model, called Riot, is designed to provide a more comfortable and less energy-consuming ride.
The company emphasizes that age-related changes in the body make cycling more difficult: muscle mass and endurance, making it difficult to overcome steep climbs.
That's why the Riot is equipped with a powerful 750 W motor with 190 Nm of torque, which provides additional traction when needed.
