What Rats thinks about it

The Verve+ is the PERFECT eBike for just about everyone. It's easy to get on and off regardless of how limber or arthritic those hips are with a low step through frame. It comes fully outfitted with lights, a rack, kickstand, and fenders. This bike will propel you up to 20mph and we estimate it has enough battery to carry you at least 40 miles on a charge. Unlike online eBike companies, this one does not have a throttle, but that's because it is meant to be ridden like a bicycle, not a motorcycle. And the best news, it's only 41 lbs, so it is significantly lighter than most other eBikes and only 12 pounds more than it's manual cousin.
