PURE ELECTRIC PURE FLUX ONE
The first electric bike from e-scooter specialist Pure Electric has three things going for it: a low price, unusually cool looks for an ebike, and really quite extreme simplicity. Rather than having gears, it has three assistance levels capped at 9mph, 12mph and 15.5mph so it’s easy to vary your pace if you hit traffic. Its disk brakes are mechanical rather than hydraulic – less stopping power, sure, but also less maintenance required – and a grease-free, theoretically unbreakable carbon belt is used instead of a chain. While it may have a max range of 25 miles, the Pure Flux One is a blast to ride and great value for money.
