The bike is lightweight (22.5kg) and suitable for flat cities, touring or trekking. You can order it with a straight handlebar to generate more pedal power.

A HERO can be upgraded to any motored version of the range. The easiest upgrade is into a ONE.

Update : due to a shortage of parts needed for this model we don’t take orders of this very specific model until further notice.
