First Ride
"It's nice and comfortable on the seat. I don't feel like I'm too high, so lots of torque as soon as you start pedaling controller is really smooth and feels much more powerful than 48 volts. Really easy to maneuver through tight Corners. Test the braking power: not bad for mechanical brakes. "
"So first impressions with the KBO Breeze ST feels like a solid City commuter electric bike. It's only 48 volts, but the tune on the controller makes it feel much more powerful. You have instant torque on the pedal assist and the throttle tune is really smooth in terms of handling and really easy to maneuver. I'm on the shorter end, so the step-through was really comfortable. This street is pretty smooth, but going over some rocks and some debris on the road, the suspension felt fine. I think the best feature of this bike is the extended rear rack. The way it's mounted and the geometry of the bike would probably make it really easy to carry groceries or any other items."
Final Thoughts
"Overall, the KBO Breeze ST is a solid option for urban commuters who want an efficient eco-friendly mode of transportation. It's sleek step-through design integrated rear rack and large 27.5 inch wheels catered to the demands of City commuting. The KBO Breeze ST offers a balanced blend of features, making it worth considering for urban commuters seeking a reliable and stylish ride if you want to dive into more EV."
