Just had a ride in a Véloh bicycle for the first time. My impressions that far are: 1) its heavy, after 2h30 of intensive riding I was really tired. 2) 3 speeds is somewhat limited, slight ascent - and you just cannot do it, you are forced to stop and to have a walk :) 3) brakes are of a very low quality (or mine were wore out), I managed to get a high speed in a downhill, then tried to stop, I even pressed both brakes completely, it didnt really worked out as it should have be, it just started slowly to decelerate. So if you have some random obstacle appearing on your way, like a kid, and you are driving fast, then you can only hit it badly, since you physically cannot stop quickly, as you could have do easily with normal high quality brakes. 4) front light bugs heavily and apparently it cannot be turned on or off, nor switched to another mode. It just works as it wants to randomly. So in a darkness its more or less useless :) 5) saddle is of a very low quality. For a small ride it will be ok, but in a long ride discomfort will come and will only increase with time. 6) that blue color just sucks :) Conclusion: unsuitable for pleasure of riding. For that some decent bicycle of more than 150€ is needed :)
