Description
The Fafrees F28 PRO is a step-through city e-bike built for easy mounting and everyday commuting. A 250W rear hub motor with 45Nm of torque gives pedal-assisted help up to 25 km/h (15.5 mph), the UK's EAPC assist limit. The listing also describes five assist levels and a walk-assist mode limited to 6 km/h for pushing uphill.
The removable 36V 16Ah battery is rated by the seller at up to 75 km, and comes out of the frame so you can charge it indoors. A front suspension fork with lockout, dual mechanical disc brakes (160 mm), 7-speed gearing and an LCD display with assist level and battery status round out the commuter spec. The listing also mentions mudguards, a rear rack and lights, which would save the usual accessory spend.
Who the step-through frame suits
The low frame is the main reason to pick this over a diamond-frame commuter. You swing a leg through rather than over, which helps anyone with a stiff hip or knee, anyone carrying shopping or a child seat, and anyone who has to stop and start constantly in town traffic. The seller quotes a rider height of roughly 160 to 200 cm.
A removable battery matters if you live in a flat or have no outdoor socket. Carry the pack in, charge it, and put it back. The listing does not give a bike weight, so check the figure before buying if you must lift it up steps or onto a car rack, because a full-size e-bike with a 16Ah pack is not light.
Realistic range
75 km is a best-case figure from a light rider on flat ground at a low assist level. Expect noticeably less on hills, in cold weather or with the assist turned up, and treat 40 to 50 km as a safer planning number for a daily commute.
Other options
If you need to store the bike indoors or take it on trains, a folder is a better fit: see the URLIFE 14 inch folding e-bike, the ADO Air20S or the MiRiDER 24 step-through folder. For a different full-size city bike, compare the HITWAY BK7S Pro.
