Right off the bat, the surprise is the inclusion of front and rear suspension, something very unusual on slightly cheaper electric bikes. The wider set of tires, 10 cm thick, is also great for those who are looking for an adrenaline rush and more comfortable rides on asphalt and dirt.
The thicker tire category also provides a greater contact area with the surface, making it possible to ride on snow and beach sand, for example.

Meet Engwe
The story of the electric bicycle brand comes after three young people found it difficult to pedal towards the top of a mountain. As night approached, the creators felt exhausted and cold and during the last few kilometers they could no longer pedal, forcing them to push their bikes into the wind. In this way, one of them had the idea of developing an e-bike.
The inventors won a competition for technological innovation and entrepreneurship by presenting the ingenious idea of developing an electric bicycle. 5 years later, Engwe emerged, which nowadays sells bicycles to the whole world.
The company's goal is to manufacture e-bikes with more advanced features and an attractive aesthetic, while remaining true to its original concept. For a cleaner future, the company seeks to improve the lives of 50 million people annually by generating more green spaces.
