Just purchased their CGO800S today on sale for their month-long black friday deal. Your review on that back helped convince me it was the right bike for me! A tip for anyone looking at Tenways: they have dealers all over the country that sells these bikes. I strongly recommend checking if there's one in your area to test ride them before buying. Buying from a bike shop also saves you the hassle of assembly, and it doesn't cost anything extra (in my case they even knocked off 5% for paying in cash!).
It's a gravel bike. There are things you can do. You can run a carbon fork, you can run tubeless and lower tyre pressures, you can run a more comfortable seat, with suspension. You can run a carbon handle bar, these things will make it more comfortable. Fitting a suspension fork is not that difficult, but it will add significantly more weight. I'd rather go for a good quality carbon fork from China. Something that is certified. I'm curious about the upgrade options for the belt drive. Can one change out the teeth if you want less cadence and more top Speed? On the cheaper version it only weighs 15kg, this is really light. It's around the same weight as a standard city bike. So even if you run out of battery, it should still be easy to pedal. My only concern is the limit that a belt drive places on inclines... Id love to see how this thing does on steeper hills.
Excellent review, if this bike had gears, I would definitely purchase it, I don't want single gear.
I had the original CGO600 for 185 days before it got stolen. I ordered the CGO600 pro to replace it. Great bikes for daily commuters

The womans bike have a lower bar because they used to ride in skirts, and it would be hard to get their leg over the bike otherwise. ;)

Sorry but its so hard to trust a review when they have adjusted the brakes/handlebars like that 😂
Can you charge the battery separately?
Yes
