Hi, The tech specs are fab e.g. Yamaha motor. I have ridden this a number of times. It is compact and is very zippy...really good fun with excellent design/build. However a consideration is the riders height. This bike is best for a shorter person and someone doing shorter distances (i.e. 7 miles each way) as it has small tyre diameter and could become uncomfortable for long distance rides.

Thanks! I am 5'8''- would it be an issue????

That's on the high end for this bike...could be fine, would recommend you test drive one. At worse though you may need to just get a slightly longer seat post. It is worth considering intended distances that you will use it for comfort wise. It is a really nice urban bike. Hope this helps

I can only use my AVE MH7 as a guide, but there's loads of seat post adjustment on it, so there probably will be on the Winora.

Perhaps you've tried a 20" balloon tyred bike, but the comfort is pretty good particularly if you make the most of the suspension air chamber by running at the lower end of the pressure range.
