WHICH i:SY IS RIGHT FOR ME?

As a general rule, it's best to try out, try out and try out again!
You will find the right i:SY for you which meets your preferences and requirements.

First of all, you need to know that the basic components are identical in all i:SY models. The difference lies in the different Bosch motors, different gear shifts and drives (chain or toothed belt). Think about how you intend to use your i:SY before buying it: mainly for short rides, in the city, on tours or on cycling trips?

The differences between individual gear shifts primarily lies in the component's quality, operation and overall gear ratio. The Bosch motors used are matched to the gear shifts and provide different torques (moment of force). The higher the motor torque, the greater the force you can apply to the pedals. As a result, it's not just the overall gear ratio that determines whether the cyclist can ride up a hill. The motor has a highly crucial impact with its power in such cases. This is something you must take into account.
