We have lived in our current house for 5yrs, and though my wife and I loved biking, we have not ridden at all due to the many steep grades and hills in and around our area.
The Latch’s 250 watt motor, located on the front wheel makes tackling the hills a breeze!
I brought the bike home on 10/09/2020, and immediately went for a 19mi ride on a sunny, ~72deg day, and didn’t sweat a drop!
The battery was only 50% depleted.
The bike really does ride like a full sized bike, feels very solid, and handles very well.
I love the folding feature, this allows me to put it in the back of the SUV, and the bike rack can carry our Pedego Interceptor (with a Boomerang also on order :)
The fold up and setup are easy, though folding up one of the pedals takes a little extra effort for now while the bike is still pretty new, I expect it will be easier as the mechanism breaks in with continued use.
My wife, who is ~ 5’ 2” also finds the bike comfortable, but if someone had short arms, like a child or smaller adult, they might get some fatigue in the arms on a long ride, because the handlebars are like a straight T, and not swept back towards the rider as on bikes like the Cruiser, Interceptor, or Boomerang.
The service from Mimi and Todd (owners) at Pedego of Frederick, Maryland has been fantastic!
Mimi’s emails were always prompt, detailed, and always answered my questions, along with offering advice and suggestions.
The Latch is well worth the money, you get an excellent product, awesome support from the Pedego dealers, and get can as much of a workout as you wish, using the motor just a bit, or a lot for an easy ride.
The slogan says it all!
