Bicycles have existed in one form or another for more than two centuries, and in that time, manufacturers have refined frame shapes that both ride well and withstand the rigors of the road. The classic front and rear triangles can be dressed up in countless ways, or dressed down into something minimal without ever feeling plain.
The
Biomega BER fits the latter description: familiar yet distinct. “Simple, timeless, and elegant” are three words Biomega used at one point to define the BER on its product page, and there’s validity to that. It’s as clean as glass after rain. But how does it ride?
Biomega equipped the BER with a lightweight motor-and-battery combo that keeps the overall weight low and the handling crisp. The ride quality is excellent, and it’s so light
and seamless in its construction that I initially mistook it for carbon. The aluminum frame and fork feel balanced and responsive, whether you’re taking tight turns or cruising on a leisurely joyride.
