Taubik Monaco S

The Taubik Monaco S is a low step-through folding e-bike with folding handlebars and an integrated battery that is easy to reach and remove. A dual sensor gives you torque or cadence assist from a 500 W Sutto motor, and an adjustable fork takes the edge off broken pavement.

Highlights

• 500 W Sutto motor, 68 N·m: pick torque mode for a natural, responsive feel or cadence mode for relaxed cruising.
• 48V 15Ah Samsung battery (UL 2271): 720 Wh, with up to 100 km per charge by the brand's figure.
• Adjustable VIBEE front fork: 75 mm of travel, with a lockout for a firmer ride on smooth roads.
• 20 x 3.0 in CST Big Boat tires with tan sidewalls, and Zoom dual-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors.
• Folds two ways: the 6061 aluminum frame folds and so do the handlebars. Shimano Altus 7-speed, 31.8 kg, 130 kg maximum load.

Who it suits

Riders with a condo storage room, a car trunk or a weekend trip in mind, who want an easy step-through for city streets and waterfront paths. To choose a mode, see torque vs cadence sensors.

Good to know

• Range is the brand's figure; speed, hills, rider weight, tire pressure and cold all change it. How to estimate your range.
• Ships free anywhere in Canada (no P.O. boxes).
• Not the same bike as the Taubik Monaco, which has a cadence sensor and a 55 N·m motor.
