Overview

Suntour, Shimano, Tektro, Kenda

A step-through city bike built from parts you can look up, on a forged aluminum frame with 27.5-inch wheels.

The City Flow A1 is the only bicycle-shaped bike in Freego's range, and it is built from named parts rather than house-brand ones: a Suntour front fork, a Shimano 8-speed drivetrain, Tektro dual-piston hydraulic brakes and Kenda 27.5-inch all-terrain tires, on a 6061 forged aluminum step-through frame.

The motor is 500 W nominal and 750 W peak making 120 N·m, on a 48V 15Ah pack worth 720 watt-hours. Freego quotes a top speed of 28 mph and up to 60 miles of range. Full-size 27.5-inch wheels and a low step-through mean it rides like a bicycle rather than a moped - which is the point if your journey involves a bike rack, a train, or a set of stairs.

Freego does not publish a US e-bike class for the A1. See the FAQ below before you plan around a particular class.

Power & Control

A Hundred And Twenty Newton-Metres

500 W, and gears to use it

500 W nominal and 750 W peak, making 120 N·m - a strong torque figure for a city motor, and the reason the A1 pulls away from a stop without you standing on the pedals. Behind it is a Shimano 8-speed derailleur, so there is a gear for the hill as well as a motor for it.

48V 15Ah, and up to 60 miles

A 48V 15Ah pack integrated into the down tube. Freego's best case is 60 miles; our planning figure is 35, because a real commute has hills, stops, headwinds and a rider who uses the assist. The range table on this page shows both, and which is which.

30–40 mi

Every row says whose number it is. Hills, headwind, tire pressure, rider weight and cold all move them, and throttle riding moves them most. Plan a commute around the low end of the row you recognize, not the number on the box.

You keep

Based on 0.72 kWh a charge and a 35 mile planning range, against a car at 25 mpg. Fuel only, so no insurance, parking, tires or depreciation are counted on the car's side. The real gap is wider than this.

Names You Can Look Up

Suntour, Tektro and Kenda

A Suntour front fork, Tektro dual-piston hydraulic brakes and Kenda 27.5-inch all-terrain tires. None of those are exotic, and that is exactly the argument: they are parts a local bike shop already stocks pads and spares for, on a bike you intend to ride every day.

04Classification
Freego publishes no US e-bike class rating for the City Flow A1. At 500 W nominal it sits within the federal power ceiling, and its 28 mph top speed is the Class 3 ceiling - but we will not assign a class Freego has not stated. We have asked them.

Freego's road-going range. The X1 SE, F2 Pro and F0 are Class 2 as Freego builds them. The F3 Pro Max carries two 750 W motors, which is why we do not repeat its Class 2 label as a legal claim, and Freego publishes no class at all for the City Flow A1.

Delivery & Warranty

Shipping, damage, and the fine print in plain words

Shipping & delivery

What riders say

Q&A

Questions riders actually ask

Freego does not publish one, so neither do we. What we can tell you is what they do publish: a 500 W nominal motor, which is inside the 750 W federal ceiling for a low-speed electric bicycle, and a 28 mph top speed, which is the Class 3 ceiling. That combination is normally sold as Class 3, but a class rating is a legal claim and we will not make one Freego has not. We have asked them and will put their answer here. In the meantime, check your state's rules and, if the class matters to your commute, ask us before you order.
Freego publishes up to 60 miles. We plan around 35. The difference is not dishonesty on their part - 60 miles is achievable at the lowest assist level on flat ground - it is that a real commute has hills, stops, headwinds and a rider in a hurry. The range table on this page shows both figures side by side.
A bicycle. 27.5-inch wheels, a step-through aluminum frame, a Shimano 8-speed and a Suntour fork - it rides, parks and fits on a bike rack like a normal bike. Freego's other e-bikes are moped-shaped with 20 x 4 fat tires and bench seats; this one is not.
It ships free from Freego's warehouse in Chino, California. Freego dispatches in-stock bikes within 1 to 3 business days and quotes 3 to 8 business days in transit to the lower 48. Hawaii, Puerto Rico and other islands are not served - if that is you, talk to us before ordering and we can ship to a continental address you nominate. Inspect the crate before you sign for it, and photograph any damage on the spot.
Freego publishes a 2-year limited manufacturer warranty to the original retail purchaser, split by part. The frame, stem and handlebar are covered for 24 months. The motor, controller, battery pack and wheels are covered for 12 months - the motor specifically for 12 months or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. Throttle, lights, pedal-assist sensor, display, switches and charger are covered for 3 months. Wear parts - grips, tires, tubes, fenders, fork, kickstand, brake pads, cables, rotors and gears - are covered for 30 days. The battery is covered against capacity loss beyond 20 percent under normal use. Freego supplies genuine parts free within cover and guarantees parts availability for two years; labor is not included. Start any claim with us at support@motorhabit.com.
It arrives part-assembled in a crate. Expect to fit the front wheel, handlebars, mirrors or fenders where fitted, charge the pack fully, and go over every fastener with a torque wrench before the first ride. Budget an hour and a set of hex keys.
