Introduction
Busy streets, unpredictable weather, and shorter daylight hours are part and parcel of commuting for e-bikers.
Tackling these challenges with style and ease isn't impossible, though, and early autumn mornings have their own charm, with orange leaves and crisp breezes.
Our TENWAYS CGO800S and CGO800 Plus are Dutch-style e-bikes made for city commutes… but which e-bike is perfect for your needs and why?
Let's take a look.
Designed for the city: Simplicity and style
Before we dive into what sets them apart, let's take a look at the key features that both models share.
Enhanced comfort
Our CGO800 series features riser handlebars for a more upright position to reduce strain on the back and shoulders, which is particularly useful when dealing with longer, chillier commutes.
Additionally, a step-through frame is essential for swift mounting and dismounting, whilst a suspension front fork ensures a smooth ride by absorbing vibrations and bumps on the road – the Selle Royal Saddle keeps you seated comfortably and securely throughout!
Durable reliability
The advanced torque sensors of our CGO800 series seamlessly deliver a smooth, responsive ride even during rainy conditions, accompanied by reliable hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping power and peace of mind in unpredictable weather.
Whether you're tackling slippery leaves or wet tarmac, the puncture-proof, extra-wide tyres are sure to be a comfortable and protective addition to your commute.
Sleek aesthetics
Owing to its Dutch-inspired design, both the CGO800S and CGO800 Plus have sleek aesthetics with concealed cabling and a fully integrated smart LCD display.
Sleek mudguards come in handy for the muddy, damp journeys, too (your work clothes will thank you!).
CGO800S: Belt-driven simplicity for flat terrain
For those tackling tarmac roads and cycle paths in their commute, the CGO800S delivers a silent and durable ride with its low-maintenance carbon belt drive, boosted by an integrated rear light for enhanced visibility.
Carrying work essentials is also made easy by how accessory-ready the CGO800S is, with space for a pannier bag, front carrier, and a powerbank, keeping you adaptable and flexible depending on what your day demands.
Available in lavender purple, sky blue, pebble grey, and midnight black, there's a sleek and stylish colourway to suit every commuter.
CGO800 Plus: Chain-driven for slopes
Slopes don't mean uphill struggles with the whisper-quiet torque control of the CGO800 Plus! Varied terrain cities are a breeze to navigate, especially when utilising the silky smooth 100%-290% gear ratio range of its Shimano Claris 8-speed drive-train.
With its TENWAYS C9 hub motor, the CGO800 Plus climbs slopes with ease, prioritising a blend of power and comfort to make navigating whatever the city throws at you effortless.
CGO800S vs. CGO800 Plus: Which is right for you?
Choosing between the CGO800S and CGO800 Plus comes down to your daily riding needs and the type of terrain you're typically tackling in your commute.
Choose the CGO800S if: You ride mostly on flat roads and cycle paths, and prefer low-maintenance features and multiple colour options – it's a blend of convenience and aesthetics.
Choose the CGO800 Plus if: You live in a city with hills and slopes, and you prefer versatile gear control and a balance of power and comfort.
Both models offer comfort, safety, and a sleek design. Whichever you choose, you'll enjoy a premium ride made for city life and cold but scenic autumn commutes!
