E-Bike Overview
The Santa Monica’s rust-proof, aluminum alloy frame features a recessed and concealed battery, providing durability in all weather conditions. Another essential component of this e-bike is the Kenda, 26″x3″ big tires. Even on rough terrain, their size and deep tread offer a smooth ride.
The 48V/10A Li-ion integrated battery provides an ample range of 22 miles, making the e-bike perfectly suitable for leisurely riding or daily commuting. It’s also quick to charge, taking just four hours. This provides extra convenience that many e-bike models don’t have, with the average battery taking more than that to juice up fully.
In terms of safety, riders can rest easy with the Nakto Santa Monica. Mechanical disc brakes aren’t just low maintenance, but also allow you to stop promptly in all weather conditions. A front LED light also gives you greater visibility in low-light settings.
Reasons to Buy
It’s hard to look past the Santa Monica’s timeless design. Fat tire e-bikes often look rugged and robust, yet this model offers a touch of sophistication. Features like its brown leather-look seat, battery-integrated frame, and aluminum alloy rims all contribute to its stylish good looks.
Although this e-bike features a lightweight aluminum frame, it’s still built with larger riders in mind. It has a load capacity of 250 lbs and measures 66.9″x28.7″x41″ to appeal to a wide range of heights.
With extra features like an LCD display and front LED headlight, the Santa Monica offers greater value for money than some of its competitors — especially when priced at just over $1,000.
Things to Consider
Although Nakto’s Santa Monica is generous in size and capacity, it lacks some versatility. Unlike many other e-bike models, it isn’t available in multiple frame sizes. Shorter riders may also find its step-over design hard to mount or dismount.
