Bottom line
The Sinch.2 is a new version of the Sinch Step-Through folding, fat-tire, Class 2e-bike. This build is improved by a torque sensor. The result is smoother assistance and more range, due to increased efficiency. The Sinch.2 uses in-house drivetrain components, in place of Shimano options. Reviewers appreciate the inclusion of a rear rack, integrated lighting, fenders, and folding pedals. Mechanical brakes seem outdated to reviewers but may be a conscious choice to prevent hydraulic cables from being squished between the bike’s folding mechanisms. The 500-watt motor reaches 750W at peak.
