The Mycle Comfort Electric Step Through Bike is a steed of a bicycle. It’s elegant and svelte with some real power overdue it. And in duck egg blue, it’s a steed with style at an wieldy price point.
How does it look?
The Mycle Comfort has notes of a archetype Dutch velocipede with its sit-up-and-beg-style handlebars. But it adds a modern whet with its matt finish and sleek metallic shower incorporated into the frame. I test-road the duck egg blue, a colour that just unchangingly works, but it’s moreover misogynist in jet black, Henley undecorous and Bailey blue.
It’s a dignified looking bike, with mudguards, rear rack and basket options available, and of undertow it’s electric, so it makes life much easier – a steed with speed and utility. And my vintage stratify worked a treat with its elegant style. It’s a velocipede you can definitely express your inner ‘Cycle Chic’ while riding! We styled the Comfort with The Thousand Chapter Helmet in Supermoon White, Linus Pannier and Weathergoods Leopard Print Gloves).
How does it finger to ride?
The riding position feels relaxed and upright, just how the Dutch do it. It has a Selle Royal wide saddle. I am personally not the biggest fan of a wide saddle, but I know many women do find them comfy. I liked the riding position but felt some discomfort in the saddle, which of undertow can be reverted to suit.
The e-assist has 5 levels and is controlled by a exhibit screen up at the handlebars. I found it easy to navigate. Simply switch it on and then printing the to go up through the modes (1-5). I was very impressed with the value of push it gave me, and it most definitely had some welly when you got to 5! The Mycle Comfort has a range of 45Km so plenty of cycling surpassing you run out of power.
The elegance of its squint moreover translates to the elegance of the ride. Larger wheels than the folding version ways you glide withal very nicely, and the suspension is an widow plus.
I tested the velocipede out in the town, but the robust tyres and suspension made it a versatile velocipede that could be used off road for adventures, as well as the commute.
There is an integrated rear restriction light and an integrated front light, the rear light was on when the velocipede arrived but the front light needs affixing.
How’s its delivering capacity?
The Mycle Comfort has a very sturdy rear rack built in. This is great, as you don’t need to worry well-nigh finding a rack and attaching it. You can siphon panniers from the word go. And we think some of our Cyclechic panniers match mighty fine. We styled it with our Botanical Pannier & Urban Proof Recycled Shopper Pannier.
You can moreover buy a front basket as an add on. We really liked the diamond of this. It bolts on very hands and is incredibly sturdy and strong. It looks modern but classic, with woebegone bars and wooden base. But be sure it doesn’t interfere with the restriction cables when you install.
The strong rack that’s built into the frame moreover enables you to nail a child seat, and be unpreventable it will be unscratched and stable on your bike. You can nail a Yepp seat which can take children from approximately nine months (or when your child can sit-up unassisted) to approximately six years.
How does it charge?
The shower is hands charged when it’s still on the bike. Just pop the USB in the port. You can remove the shower if you want to bring it into the house or office to charge. It can moreover be locked to the velocipede so there’s no endangerment of theft.
How easy is it to store?
It’s a similar size to most classic-style ladies’ bikes, so it can be hands stored in a garage/shed/porch, but it’s not as small and meaty as e-bikes with smaller wheels, like the Benno Remi Demi. When locking it, I sometimes had to play virtually with the lock, given the diamond of the frame, as there is only a small gap within the frame. And it’s quite heavy, so it’s not a velocipede to be lugging upstairs. I would definitely squint to its folding sister, The Mycle Folder for that.
How much is it?
At £1,099, it’s a unconfined price for an e-bike and there are Cycle to Work options available, too, helping you to unravel lanugo the forfeit and pay through your salary.
Verdict
All in all, it’s a handsome velocipede with power and grace at price that doesn’t unravel the bank. It can work for daily life, commute and shopping, but moreover for a spot of electric off-road fun!
