DYU e-bikes offer everything from stylish city riding to adventure in new spring lineup

E-bikes can provide so much for people, whether it’s for commuting to work, quick trips around the neighborhood, recreation or weekend trips. But, it’s challenging finding something that is affordable. And that’s where DYU comes in, a brand featuring a lightweight design and a great riding experience in a reasonable price range.

The brand is new to the North American market and there are savings to be had while DYU launches here.

DYU is an intelligent sports technology company focusing on e-bikes in Shenzhen, China, and has set up R&D operation service centers in Europe and the US. DYU bikes are now sold in more than 60 countries around the world with an expanding lineup of models.

The brand’s product design concept is “intelligence is standard, design comes first.”

Let’s take a look at a few of the new models ideal for spring riding.

It boasts a powerful motor, lithium ion battery, and seven-speed Shimano cassette. Commuters will appreciate the dual hydraulic shocks and disc brakes. There are three riding modes with speeds of up to 28 mph. The battery is removable and housing horizontally under the seat and within the top tube. The bike has a fun retro look  with curved, almost ape hangar handebars that offer a comfortable, upright riding position.

This is the all-arounder that might be most appealling to many. It offers a convenient, step-through design with a powerful 500w motor and 20×4 fat tires. So it is very versatile and offers a fun ride even on challenging surfaces. The 18650 lithium battery comes withe a battery management system to save energy for when you need it. We love the large and multi-functional LED display, and the simple folding system that will allow riders to pack the bike in the trunk for weekend getaways.
