Our take

The Breeze 1 is a light cruiser-style commuter for riders who need to lift a bike onto a rack or up a few steps. At 48 lb it is far lighter than most 750W bikes, and the switch between torque and cadence sensing lets you pick a natural or more push-button feel. It has no suspension fork, so comfort relies on the tires and an optional seatpost. Two frame sizes cover a wide height range.
