Full details

The Hygge Bikes Vester Step is an ideal choice for urban commuters and light adventurers who need a reliable, space-saving electric bike without sacrificing stability. It excels at balancing portability with raw performance, featuring a robust 250W motor and a high-capacity Samsung battery that delivers an impressive 80 km range per charge. While its foldable design makes it perfect for storage in tight apartments or vehicle trunks, potential owners should note that its sturdy construction and fat tyres contribute to a significant overall weight, making it less ideal for frequent carrying up multiple flights of stairs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Upon arrival, the Vester Step requires final assembly of the handlebars and pedals. Ensure all quick-release levers are tightened and the battery is fully charged before the first outing. It is recommended to check the tyre pressure to match the manufacturer's specifications for optimal rolling resistance.

Compatibility: The MIK carrier system is compatible with a wide range of MIK-certified accessories, including bags and child seats. The Bluetooth connectivity is compatible with standard smartphone cycling apps.

Care: Keep the chain lubricated and periodically check the hydraulic brake lines for any signs of leakage. Since the bike uses a Lithium-ion battery, store it in a cool, dry place and avoid letting it reach zero percent charge for extended periods. Clean the bike with a damp cloth; avoid high-pressure water spray near the electronic display or motor hub.
