1. Bergamont Helix 3.0 Gent 2016

The mountains and roads are more demanding of the bike than smooth paved roads and sidewalks. The difference between mountain and urban bikes is not only in names but also in the specifics of the component parts. Mountain bikes work great when you have a challenge to overcome the many sudden descents, ascents, jump off the hill and drive through the sharp gravel. If that’s what you want, then a normal bike you don’t fit. You’ll be constantly repaired, and some day will kill.

It provides power for turn signals and your smartphone when it needs to recharge (the USB connector). Not without a display that keeps you informed of the charge, speed and mileage. Yes, it costs about 80 thousand rubles, but the money will be compensated, especially if you change on a bike with a car or public transport.
