Denago is a first-party brand operating under Bike.com, meaning that while it is new, it is not inexperienced or unaware of the industry. As a result, the City Model 1 boasts high-end performance specifications at a [competitive price](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dahon-kfeather). The City Model 1 is equipped with a 500 watt hub motor that outputs a top speed of 28 miles per hour, or only 20 miles per hour on pure electric throttle, which is more than enough for a [city commuter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aventon-level-3). This motor is powered by a 653 Wh battery that results in approximately 45 miles of range per charge. This e-bike is made accessible in two ways: its frame material and its frame design. The bike is manufactured out of lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum, comes in sizes from S to XL, and has both step-over and [step-through versions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magicycle-deer-2), meaning there is a bike frame that suits nearly any rider. The City Model 1 is available for purchase at an SRP of $1,500 USD.
