Bottom line
The all-black -R Brooklyn is an urban stealth vehicle with the chops to keep up with (and overtake) inner-city traffic. It’s a single-speed rig with a powerful throttle that can exceed 28 mph, in non-road-legal ‘Off-Road mode’. Braking and suspension are lauded, as is the -R Brooklyn’s retro minibike aesthetic. The motor puts out 2000W at peak. The payload is 325 lb. Buyers can choose an optional 10-speed set-up but reviewers say this may be impractical, considering that the ‘bike’ is so awkward to pedal. This makes for a tricky proposition when the juice runs low and you need to schlep 83 lb of ‘bike’ home. The -R Brooklyn sits somewhat closer to an electric moped than a bicycle.Expert Reviews
