E-bikes don't get much stealthier than the CGO600 Pro, with electronics so sneakily integrated that few people will realize it isn't just a regular old acoustic bicycle. It's lightweight and incredibly smooth to ride thanks to the maintenance-free carbon belt setup. However, this is only a single speed, so it's best suited to city riders in relatively flat areas; sure, it can climb hills pretty well thanks to the 350-watt hear hub motor, but not being able to downshift means you'll have to put in quite a bit of work as well.

What Other Experts Are Saying
Before purchasing a personal electric vehicle costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars, it's important to do your research to make sure you get the right one! Even though we'd love to personally review every single EV out there, there's just too many out there for us to possibly cover them all. That's why we've worked hard to curate reviews from other experts in the industry. We only show an excerpt of each review here; please use the "Read Full Review" button to get the full story on their website and support their excellent work!
"The CGO600 Pro by TENWAYS is like the Ebike version of a Swiss Army knife, if a Swiss Army knife were funny, avocado green, and whisper quiet. This Ebike’s minimalist design, is perfect for anyone who's ever thought, "You know what would make my life better? Riding around town on a sleek, efficient vehicle while wearing a cape." The capes are sold separately, unfortunately. Head on over to ElectrifiedReviews.com to..."
"The CGO600 Pro really looks more like a flesh-powered hybrid than an e-bike. Absent is the chunky look of e-bikes like the Cyrusher XF690 Maxs or Velotric Discovery 1. By contrast, the CGO600 Pro looks streamlined and svelte, ready to eat up the miles. The less-is-more design philosophy carries over to the LCD display, which is about the size of a Lego brick and is mounted near the handgrip on the left side of the ha..."
"As a Class 1 e-bike with no throttle, this is a bike that not only wants, but requires its rider to pedal. The inclusion of a torque sensor, however, means that the CGO600 Pro rides and feels like a non-electric bike. Its motor provides assistance with each pedal stroke instead of as a steady stream of power output, and as the rider works harder, the motor does too. This creates a smooth and responsive feel that can ..."
"The small screen that shows which assist mode the bike is in (of which there are four) took a bit longer to learn, and the manual was much-needed here. Ultimately, the screen can be toggled to show different layouts that share trip distance, battery charge, remaining range given the battery charge, speed, Bluetooth connection, and total distance the bike has traveled in its lifetime. The rider even has an option to..."
"Our test ride is the matte black variant, with high-luster black and green accenting for the Tenways logo on the top tube. This is the only obvious branding on the bike, which keeps it nice and subtle. There are no weird motivational poster phrases on this one (as with the ADO bike we reviewed). The only other logo can be found on the front mudguard, in a small white font. Aside from looking like most bicycles (mean..."
"Once consequence of the belt drive is the CGO600 frame is also ‘splitable’ which allows you to fit a new belt when the old one does eventually wear out. I needed to remove the rear wheel for a puncture and this proved easy; just slacken off the axle nuts to drop the wheel out then to get the belt back to its correct tension, there are small allen screws built into the frame’s rear dropouts which make the proces..."
"Range - To give an example, I rode a perfectly flat road to my local grocery store and back, just a tad over 7 miles, and had 77% battery left. This was with full PAS (pedal assist level 3) which would give over 32 miles of total range at PAS 3. At PAS 1 I ran a test where I drained the battery from a full charge until it cut out and reached a very respectable 45 miles. I weigh 188 lbs so I guess the 62 miles claim..."
