The iWeech electric bike aims to be connected and intelligent to modulate its autonomy and assistance depending on the journey. It is also practical with a rotating stem and retractable pedals. The right approach for an urban VAE?
The iWeech is a very good electric bike that lets technology fade into the background in favor of the pleasure of riding. Never intrusive, its on-board technologies are discreet, but quickly become essential, as is the case with the electronic anti-theft device with SMS alert and GPS/4G tracking. The power of the Brose engine combined with the belt transmission results in a high-performance cocktail while limiting maintenance. To complete the picture, we would have liked a little more comfort and extension, but as it stands, the iWeech is already a very good bike for everyday trips.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
