What is most striking about the Pegasus upon first glance is just how impressive it is with its glossy white paint job, wide handlebars, and comfort features as far as the eye can see.

This is an e-bike that is designed for the city with a clear focus on comfort and sophistication.

We love that the cabling is internal and the quality 36V Samsung battery is housed under the downtime to give the bike a sleek and minimalist look.

The bike is commute-ready, to say the least. It includes front and rear fenders, suspension at the front and under the seat, and a solid rear rack. There are also solid hydraulic disc brakes, a seven-speed Shimano drive train and some very nice wide comfort tires perfect for city riding.

Overall, the Pegasus is a pleasure to ride. The wide and adjustable handlebars and seat suspension allow for a nice riding position. The motor is powerful enough for most situations aside from very steep hills.

What we really enjoy is the combination of five levels of pedal assist for the motor, and torque sensor. It’s a complete package that creates a very real and authentic pedaling experience.

It was quite easy to comfortably cruise the streets on the Pegasus at 25-30 km/h at level two or three assist and modest exertion.
The battery is a good size, and took around four hours to charge, and offers a range of approximately 80 kilometers at a medium assist level. We appreciate that the battery can be taken off the bike to charge indoors, or via the external charging port on the bike.

Wish List

The team at Wolff seems to have thought of everything with the Pegasus, even the color display is new and creative.
Although it’s a beautiful bicycle, it is somewhat large, even though it has a step-through frame. The good news is that there are two sizes available S/M and the one we reviewed, which is M/L. We did have a rider around 5’4” test it out with the seat down as far as it could go, and it worked very well. For riders under that height, I would be sure to take it for a test drive to ensure a good fit. The other ride was 6’2” and it was a great fit so the Pegasus can accommodate a wide range of riders.

We also don’t think seat suspension offers much. It would be more beneficial to invest in the highest quality seat possible, but overall the Pegasus offers a pretty plush riding experience.

Summary

If you’re in the market for an e-bike that won’t break the bank, but still delivers a high-quality ride, then look no further than the Pegasus! This incredible bike is loaded with top-notch components that offer unbeatable value.

One of the things that really sets the Pegasus apart from the competition is its versatility. It’s the perfect bike for city dwellers who need a reliable and efficient ride to get to work, while also offering the freedom to explore their local neighborhoods at their leisure. The upright riding position is comfortable and ergonomic, making it a joy to pedal for hours on end.

With a long-lasting battery and a powerful motor, the Pegasus can handle whatever terrain you throw at it. And despite its impressive capabilities, it’s still lightweight and easy to maneuver, making it an ideal choice for riders of all skill levels.

Of course, no bike is perfect, and the Pegasus is no exception. It’s got some size and weighs in at around 60 pounds. But don’t let that discourage you – the benefits of this bike far outweigh any minor inconveniences.

One thing to keep in mind is that the Pegasus is a real head-turner. Its sleek design and eye-catching color scheme make it a great conversation starter, but it also means that you’ll want to invest in a high-quality lock to keep it secure when you’re not riding it. Alternatively, consider storing it in a secure bike lockup or bringing it inside your office or apartment.

At the end of the day, we highly recommend the Pegasus to anyone looking for an e-bike that delivers on quality, performance, and style. With top brands like Shimano and Samsung providing the components, you can rest assured that this bike is built to last and built to impress.
