Tenways AGO T Review, 2024 | A Classy Commuter That Rides As Good As It Looks

With headquarters in the Netherlands, it should be no surprise that Tenways offers not one, but two Dutch-style commuter e-bikes! The AGO T is the brand’s newest step-thru model with contemporary European styling and a 250W mid-drive motor. We explore its specs, performance, and feel in this Tenways AGO T review.

At the time of writing, the AGO T is one of Tenways’ highest-priced e-bikes with an MSRP between $2,500 and $3,000. To justify that price tag, the brand specced the bike with a handful of uncommon, ride-elevating components including a Gates CDX belt drive and an Eviolo continuously variable transmission (CVT).

CPSC Issues Warning on Unit Pack Power Batteries

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a warning of “serious injury and death” presented by the Unit Pack Power lithium-ion e-bike batteries. The commission says that public health and safety demand that the warning be issued immediately to warn the public of the risk of the fire and burn hazard posed by the product.

The CPSC wants consumers to stop using Unit Power Pack batteries with the model numbers U004 or U004-1. The batteries are black, triangular and feature straps to attach the battery to the bike’s frame. These are batteries that are part of a conversion kit to turn regular bikes into e-bikes. Either “U004 BATTERY” or “UPPBATTERY” is printed on the side. The model number can be found printed elsewhere on the battery.
