DŌST DROP Change Car

• The DŌST DROP is an approachable step-thru electric bike with upgraded components and optional second battery pack.
• It features an adjustable angle stem for improved fit and a 100mm spring suspension fork with compression lockout and preload for a comfortable ride.
• The high-quality 2.4" wide Schwalbe Super Moto-X tires offer stability, visible reflective sidewalls, and puncture protection lining built-in.
• The bike has lots of great accessory options including bags, cup holders, suspension seat post, mirrors, and child seat.
• The powerful 750 watt Bafang BBS02 mid-drive motor blends into the purpose-built frame, and the alloy housing keeps it protected and reduces noise.
• With up to 120 newton meters of torque, it's a very capable climber, and a physical shift-sensor cuts motor power to protect the 9-speed Shimano Altus drivetrain in pedal assist or throttle mode.
• The DŌST DROP offers a premium European feel with extreme attention to detail, despite the mid-tier pricing.
• The main battery pack is removable, and an optional second pack can be added and installed anytime in the future.
• The bike also features a USB charging port built into the color LCD display panel for smartphones and other accessories and a tool-free adjustable kickstand.
• The step-thru DROP model isn't as stiff as the high-step KOPE but is easier to mount and stand over.
• The motor uses cadence sensing vs. fancier combined cadence+torque.
• The DŌST DROP has a fairly heavy build at ~65lbs before additional battery or accessories.
• Other features include clean minimalist chain cover, smooth hydraulic disc brakes with motor inhibitors, and premium integrated lights (bright dual-beam headlight, dual-LED rear light).
• The bike comes in two color options with matching fork, subtle accent colors, and decals, and almost all support hardware is black and bolts are hidden under the fenders vs. wrapping outside.

Pros:

• Feature complete with mid to high-end quality hardware.
• Integrated lights run off the main battery pack and are brighter with two LEDs each.
• Wires are routed internally through the bike frame, which looks nice and reduces potential for snags.
• Durable plastic battery shield, rubber charge port cover, and rubber dual-battery plug cover.
• Low 17-inch stand-over height and decent 31.5″ minimum saddle height for the approachable step-thru frame.
• Adjustable saddle height and longer adjustable angle stem provide great fit options.
• Versatile with Class 1, 2, or 3 options for adjusting top speed and removing the throttle.
• Reflective tires and integrated lights for safety, with puncture-protected tire upgrade.
• Great comfort with higher volume 25.7″ x 2.4″ tires and a 100mm suspension fork.
• Drivetrain setup keeps chain protected and pants clean, with physical shift detection sensor to protect from wear.

Cons:

• The suspension fork is not as lightweight, tough, or adjustable as an air fork with a thru-axle.
• The 1-1/8″ headset is not as upgradable as a tapered one would be.
• The maximum speed of 28mph can only be reached by clicking up to higher levels of assist, as the throttle only assists up to 20mph.
