https://electricbikereview.com/nireeka/homie/ The Nireeka Homie is an affordably priced full suspension eMTB with an eye-catching custom frame design, carbon fiber frame and components keep weight remarkably low for an ebike, available in three sizes to fit a wide range of riders, available online-only with shipping to most countries around the globe. An impressive selection of upgrade and accessory options for virtually all components, high-quality Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and drivetrain, Schwalbe Rocket Ron tires are satisfyingly grippy and nimble. Can be outfitted for mountain bike trails or with more commuting-friendly options such as a comfort saddle and adjustable stem, low Q Factor improves cornering performance and ergonomics, lifetime frame warranty coverage. Motor power and throttle upgrades can be nice around town but limit access to MTB trails, no mounting points for fenders or racks limit commuting viability, some assembly required after delivery which can be daunting without proper tools and expertise.
