“#The Tenways ebike is a lightweight steal for under $1,500<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

We have a rule about crowdfunding campaigns here at TNW: with rare exceptions, we don\u2019t cover crowdfunded products unless they\u2019re from an already established company with a proven track record or we get to demo a fully functional prototype.<\/p>\n

With the Tenways C-Go 600 ebike<\/a>, it was the latter case. And I\u2019m really glad I did get to try it because this ebike is fantastic \u2014 no gimmicks necessary.<\/p>\n

At $1,000-1,500 (Tenways has not settled on a final price yet), the bike offers a Gates Carbon belt drive, a stealthy app<\/a>earance that doesn\u2019t betray its electric nature, a weight of 15 kg (33 lbs), and one of the smoothest pedaling experiences of any ebike I\u2019ve ridden. I\u2019ve tested a lot of ebikes here at TNW, and those are three qualities you normally find on far more expensive bikes.<\/p>\n

To be clear, Hong Kong-based Tenways hasn\u2019t actually launched its Indiegogo campaign yet. The company plans to start crowdfunding in July, but it wanted to get the bike out to reviewers early to prove it has a real product. And unlike the majority of crowdfunded ebikes, the bike will actually already be in mass production while the campaign is live.<\/p>\n

Crowdfunded products are always<\/em> a risk, but Tenways appears to be using Indiegogo more as a way to market the bike rather than relying solely on backer funds to bring it to fruition. Other than a non-final design and an upcoming app, what I tested was a fully realized product<\/p>\n

The final units (available in 5 colors) should look more like what\u2019s on Tenways\u2019 website:<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you\u2019re getting for your hard-earned money:<\/p>\n
