There are two kinds of electric bicycle. One senses that the pedals are turning and switches the motor on. The other senses how hard you are pushing and adds power in proportion.
The first is cheaper. The second is the one that feels like a bicycle. The CGO600 Pro is the second, at €1,699, which used to be a price where you only got the first.
The torque sensor is what you are paying for
A cadence sensor produces a lurch: you turn the cranks, a moment passes, the motor shoves. A magnetic torque sensor measures effort and matches it, so the bike simply feels like a version of you with stronger legs.
This matters most at low speed — pulling away from a junction, threading through pedestrians, riding one-handed. It is the difference between a bike you trust in traffic and one you brace against.
Mivice M070 rear hub motor: 250 W, 40 Nm.
360 Wh battery with LG cells, portable for indoor charging.
Gates carbon belt drive — no oil, no chain stretch, no marked trousers.
16 kg net weight; 140 kg maximum permissible total weight.
StVZO-compliant lighting and an OLED display in seven languages.
A belt and a torque sensor on the same bike at this price is unusual. Together they remove the two things people actually dislike about commuting on an e-bike.
Where 40 Nm runs out
250 W and 40 Nm is a European city specification. On flat and gently rolling ground it is plenty; on a steep hill with shopping on the back it is not, and the single-speed belt version gives you no gear to drop into.
TENWAYS sells a chain-drive Plus with a Shimano Claris eight-speed and a slightly stronger 45 Nm motor for the same money. If your commute has a real climb in it, buy that one and accept the oil.
Who it is for
Flat-city commuters who want the bike to disappear underneath them: light, quiet, clean, and with enough range that they stop thinking about charging. TENWAYS also lists over 200 offline service centres across Europe, which matters more than any spec on a direct-to-consumer bike.
Riders outside the 165–180 cm range, or anyone who lives at the top of a hill, should look elsewhere in the range. Everyone else is getting a lot of bicycle for the money.
