Technical details explained

Motor: Bafang 250 W

Bafang is a reliable Chinese brand, used by many mid-range bikes. Not the best (Bosch is still the best), but perfect for everyday use.

Advantages :

• Reliable (15,000-25,000 km service life)

• Affordable replacement (€300-500 vs. €800+ for Bosch)

• Torque sensor for natural pedaling

Disadvantages :

• Less powerful than Bosch on steep climbs

• More limited service network

Battery: 400-522 Wh options

Recharging : 4-6 h for a full charge, cost: €0.12-0.16 per charge

Brakes: hydraulic disc brakes

A premium feature for this price range.
They offer:

• Better braking power in the rain

• Less maintenance than cable brakes

• Constant force

Frame: aluminum

Light but strong. At 24-24.5 kg, a Bizobike is still reasonable to carry up and down stairs (if you don't have an elevator).

Who is Bizobike for?

• Daily shuttles (10-25 km) A reliable technical base and sufficient autonomy. No fancy apps or premium design, but a real workhorse.

• City dwellers with limited space The A-Class is compact. Perfect for small apartments, without a garage or for the cellar.

• Budget buyers For less than €1,000, you get a complete e-bike with hydraulic brakes and central motor.

• For classic use Not ideal for climbing the Ardennes on a daily basis, but perfect for flat terrain and normal journeys.

Bizobike vs. other brands

Conclusion:
Bizobike wins on price, loses on service network and design.
