Specifications will tell you it has a comfort suspension seat post; it does not. It has a twist throttle and pedal assist. Specs will also tout the 7 speed derailleur... WOW... that makes it a rare ebike! An incredibly smooth and powerful bike!!!!! This thing is a bargain even when not on sale. My wife and I bought two of these and you should see her grin every time she tops a rocky road hill, not even breathing hard. She has a 350W competitor's ebike that she loves... on flat ground but this thing rules our rural roads with all their hills and hollows. I have an Ecotech Lightning 500W ebike that will get me up those hills but I'll be breathing hard at the top, not so with the Tornado. They use brand name, high quality parts when they build these beasts. GREAT bike... A couple of minor issues with the bikes but customer service has been super responsive and great to work with. Technical support is good and offers sound advise. Overall I rate Ecotech personnel, their products, and their prices as 5 star. Thanks Ecotric!

Part 1 of 2 I purchased this bike in early July 2019. I'm in fair but not totally fit physical shape. In the not too distant past, I was solid road bike rider and had some really good triathlete friends around always pushing me. Then I had knee surgery and kids, and many things changed as to my ability to "get out there and ride."That changed last month when I got my Ecotric Tornado! Now I get to go off-road if I want or do road work keeping my cadence at a level that makes me feel like I used to feel when I was very fit and a consistent bike rider. Having an electric bike like the Tornado model matters to me because I have kids, a wife, and a strict schedule. I don't have 2- 4 hours to go out riding 30 miles as I used too. But now, I can get back out there and do the rides I enjoy, listen to music that inspires me, and be home much quicker while working on my cadence without worry that I can't get back or will be too tired to get other things done the rest of the day. See part 2 of this blog.

Part 2 of 2 It has truly changed my workout life. Now, I think about how I can ride my Ecotric Tornado just to pick up stuff at the store and my wife thinks it' funny... but she's also is happy for me. All I can say is that it makes you feel like a kid and there are few items in life that you can purchase that helps you physically and mentally want to get out there and totally enjoy your workout or just a leisurely ride to stretch your legs. On top of all this, I can bring the bike along with me camping or to the beach. It's easy to errands on to the store which also is helping my softball game by keeping my legs firing and more fit. Who knows, I might even meet up with some of my old triathlete friends for a long casual ride and maybe I'll let them drag behind me while I cut the wind (LOL). I'll be sure to post another blog soon as I learn more about my bike and how I can expand my mountain bike skills. It is a very capable model on mountain trails with a smooth ride while being very speedy. I'll post next month as I learn more. Thank you, Ecotric. I'm a believer in Ebikes.
