Summary of Reviews

12 reasons to buy
- Pragues offer 6 levels of pedal assist, compared to 3 and 4 on most e-bikes.
- A throttle-only option gives riders the choice of speed without effort.
- The bike’s low price was seen as great value, for a quality build and parts.
- 3 size options use 3 wheel sizes, suiting riders from 5’4” to 6’4”
- An owner said their bike rarely fell below 13mph, even on the steepest climbs.
- Tektro mechanical disc brakes proved reliable and powerful.
- The left brake initiates motor cut-off, ensuring that power isn’t wasted.

- Schwalbe Smart Sam tires impressed owners with ample grip.

4 reasons not to buy
- Buyers said the Prague’s saddle was "small", "hard" and "narrow"’
- This rig was heavy to ride without electric assistance.
- Without modification, there’s nowhere to mount a water bottle holder.
- The Suntour XCT fork was heavy and unsuitable for rocky terrain.
Bottom line
NCM’s Prague stands out amongst budget e-bike options made available from bigger online retailers. Buyers felt reassured by the performance of name-brand components from Shimano, Tektro, Samsung and Schwalbe. It comes in three sizes with either 26”, 27.5” or 29” wheels, while many other budget e-bikes are only available with smaller 26” rims. The Prague’s six levels of pedal-assist compare favorably to the three or four found on most other cut-price e-bikes. The Shimano Altus triple chainring may add to the bike’s weight, but it will ensure that you get to the top of almost any ascent you could confront. A German-engineered standout amongst entry level e-bikes.Expert Reviews
