Both the Tenways and the Sushi bike are characterized by a similar range: while the Sushi takes us 47 km, the Tenways can carry us four kilometers further. We are satisfied with both values. However, the sushi bike has a convenience trick: the battery almost looks like a drinking bottle and is clamped to the frame. So you can easily remove it and charge it at home. It can even be used as a power bank via a USB connection. With the Tenways, on the other hand, the entire bike has to be plugged in because the battery is built with tools.
In return, the Tenways offers a really handy torque sensor. The wheel notices how strong it is to support you from the pedaling power, and so comfortably supports you at speeds of up to 25 km/h. In the case of Maki, the setting is a bit more down-to-earth.
That and the brakes have an impact on the driving experience. While both single-speed models brake well, the Tenways can be stopped more easily thanks to hydraulic components than with the Sushi’s bulkhead.
