Conway is also one of the few brands in this test group to boast Plus tyres. That's half the battle when it comes to safety.

Grip is higher, the limit range is wider and the bike is easier to control. Comfort also increases slightly. Unfortunately, the combination of a long gear ratio (36 sprocket) and weak drive performance (Cruise from Bosch) limits the Conway's climbing ability somewhat, although the rest of the geometry would offer more. For more safety on descents, we would like to see wider handlebars. Unfortunately, the 120-millimetre steel suspension fork cannot be adjusted to the rider's weight.


ConclusionIf you avoid steep ramps, you get a solid e-hardtail with plus tyres that is great for long tours.
