A "city bike" is a versatile term that could mean many things, including a bike that is affordable and easily replaceable if stolen, simple with few gears and features, or a lightweight option that can be easily carried and stored. The City Vanture by Vanpowers is a relatively cheap and light electric bike that offers a belt drive, internal hub, and five-level assist. The bike comes in one size, a 21-inch step-over frame that weighs 34 pounds, and the ideal rider height is between 5'8" and 6'3". The bike is available in five colors and the only other option is to add accessories. The bike is powered by a 36-volt, 350-watt motor and a 252-watt-hour non-removable battery. The top assist speed is 25 miles per hour, and the standard range is 50 miles, with a possible extension of 80 miles with a water bottle-style battery. However, the City Vanture has some limitations, including its lack of accessory mounts and a difficult start and stop function, making it challenging to maneuver in traffic or climb steep hills. Additionally, the bike's one size may not be suitable for tall riders and the bike is assembled with interlocking tubes, meaning that third-party accessories may not fit. The bike also lacks a throttle and gears, relying solely on five levels of assist and pedals. The bike's gearing is also on the harder side, demanding more effort to start and stop than other bikes.
