BK16
The BK16 is a sensible commuter if the handlebar position is improved before longer rides and the cadence-sensor behaviour is accepted.
City use, relaxed routes and riders below about 175 cm who want a road-legal configuration.
A simple, well-equipped and road-legal step-through e-bike with a large battery, but average ergonomics for taller riders.
Verdict: The BK16 is a sensible commuter if the handlebar position is improved before longer rides and the cadence-sensor behaviour is accepted.
Best for: City use, relaxed routes and riders below about 175 cm who want a road-legal configuration.
