Georgia Ordway Out For A Test Ride on the Windone S14 Foldable E-Bike | Photo Connor Burkesmith Mountain Weekly News
The Windone S14 is an incredible e-bike with its compact body, step through design, power throttle and not to mention, it’s budget friendly.
One of the first things I notice about an e-bike is weight. These bikes can come bulky and heavy which makes them hard to transport and not so friendly to move around when you’re not in motion.
Frame Size
With its compact design, and smaller frame, this bike is easy to fold up, pick up, and throw in your trunk. This is a smaller frame bike, I’m 5’5” and it feels just right for me.
The seat is also something I look for in an e-bike, and let me tell you, I’ve ridden my fair share of e-bikes and this is one of the most comfortable seats.
This makes such a huge difference in each ride you take on it.
There’s a tiny little horn that makes small beeping sound, which is convenient. Also a button to turn on the lights. There’s an easy charging port if you want to keep battery on the bike, or there’s a convenient handle to pull the battery off.
Sometimes it’s all about those small details that make the best e-bikes stand out.
Power Modes
You have the option to peddle for power, or twist the throttle for power. There are no gears, but since this bike can get pretty fast with the throttle alone, they aren’t needed.
I got up to about 20 mph through the throttle, but again no gears so if you start peddling, it’s going to feel like you’re in a low gear going fast, so I would suggest peddling when you’re going about 10 mph.
