Some riders are interested in knowing more about their journeys than simply how far they travelled. Modern e-bikes can provide that information through displays and smartphone applications.
The ADO Air 28 has a 3.5-inch IPS colour display. The product page states that the ADO App can record rides in real time and track statistics, while directions can be cast to the integrated LCD display for navigation.
The bike also supports AirTag and SmartTag, which gives riders compatibility with those tracking devices.
These digital features sit alongside a fairly conventional cycling system. The Air 28 uses a 250W brushless hub motor, a torque sensor and a single-speed carbon belt drivetrain. The battery is removable and rated at 37V/10Ah.
The useful distinction here is between technology that adds information and technology that actually changes how the bicycle moves. The app and display deal primarily with ride information and navigation, while the torque sensor and motor are involved directly in electric assistance.
For someone researching connected e-bikes, separating those functions can make comparisons much clearer. A smart feature is most useful when you understand exactly what it does and whether it fits the way you normally ride.
