The lightest pedelec in the test. Perfect for short stretches.Rating 2008: FairPrice: 1,495 EUR
 

 
The Monty is fun-- if you like to get around without much pedaling. Here there are no gears, it's a one speed with a gas throttle. The Monty is really a moped: pedal a bit, turn the throttle, and the motor is already fully engaged. The next model should be more differentiating with motor power. The range is more than adequate, because the fun-mobile is not really intended for long tours. The most important components like the motor and battery are highly valuable. It lacks only a few and this folding bike would be perfect! We would like to see a gear system, a more sensitive application of the motor power, better plugs and an integrated cable layout.


Pros
+ A lot of fun on the short stretches
