Our first experience with the Tenways CGO600 Pro came in the form of the original single-speed model with a belt drive. The bike felt nimble, responsive, and generally well put together. It also stood out with a unique, contemporary aesthetic.
Single-speed e-bikes, however, have some innate limitations. Their gearing must be
efficient for pedaling on flat ground without creating too much difficulty when climbing hills. Tenways largely nailed this balance, but we were nonetheless excited upon learning that the brand released an 8-speed model with a traditional chain and cassette.
After an initial ride, we were pleased to note that the CGO600 Pro-C (as the chain-driven model is designated) had all of the same characteristics we liked about the belt
version.
