Harley This product retains the bicycle's frame design, but it has been upgraded to an electric drive system inside, which can be regarded as an electric vehicle in essence. However, the product positioning is still mountain bike , but it does not have many functions such as gear shifting and shock absorption of mainstream mountain bikes, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to deal with mountain bikes and other cycling scenarios. Fortunately, this bicycle is not ready to be sold in the country, and even if it enters China, few people are willing to buy it.
