Rize City MD with secondary battery
"I bought the City MD because I wanted a bike with a lot of torque and a very long range as we often go for long rides. Unfortunately I weigh a fair bit more than I should and I've got some arthritis in my legs so I would usually ride my previous E- bike on level 4 and at the end of a ride I'd be nervously watching my battery level. With the Rize bike I'm normally riding on level 2 and not at all concerned with remaining battery level on most rides even WITHOUT the 2nd battery. I'm very happy with the bike and glad to have the peace of mind with the extra battery. It's easy to attach & detatch from the bike and it locks securely in place so I only have it in the bike when going for long rides. One thing I'll mention is that I discovered riding a mid drive is different than on hub drive bikes when it comes to downshiftingthe gears. Because of its high torque it's important to downshift when you are slowing down. . . and you want to do that when you are not under power from the motor. Just "lightly" touching the brake stops the motor but does not apply any braking so doing that while downshifting gears works great. I'm very happy with my purchase!"
