How to choose?
Before buying a bike, there are a few things to think about.
- Decide on the purpose... If you need a bicycle exclusively for walking around the city and riding short distances, then choose road models, for example, the Izh-Bike Farmer or its electric version. The same bike is a great option for summer residents and elderly people. For frequent off-road trips, it is better to give preference to mountain models: Dream, Eagle, Stinger.
- Pay attention to depreciation. Even for an urban model, the front shock will not be superfluous, and if the cyclist prefers extreme riding around the city with jumping over curbs, then it is better to choose a two-suspension option, such as Cross, Ranger or Outlander. You can also order a teenage version of the model.
- Choose a frame based on your own height, and if you have to climb while cycling, then choose models with several speeds.
