![]() bike moving before the electro-motion kicks in (though the aforementioned “walking mode” can be used in these circumstances).Īnd cadence sensors are tough for group rides too, because it’s hard to exactly pace whoever you’re riding with (unless everyone is on the same bike model). ![]() So if you happen to be on a hill or any sort of strange terrain, it takes effort to get this big 66 lb. Neither throttle nor pedal assist can be used from a complete dead stop, both require you to get moving first. The bike’s cadence sensor and pedal assist can lead to some quirky movement. It does come with a taillight, but it requires 2x AAA batteries to operate, and needs to be turned on manually separate from the bike/headlight. Two extras we’d like to see are some sort of water bottle/drink holder (you’ll have to find your own way around this, there are no built-in mounts on the frame) and a taillight integrated into the bike’s battery. The bike comes well-equipped with lots of nice features, like metal front and rear fenders, monochrome digital display, adjustable stem, hydraulic disc brakes, rear rack, headlight, and a sturdy kickstand (rear-mounted, so don’t forget to kick it up like I always do). And the step-through design makes the bike easier to mount, even if it is quite big. I can certainly see how this could be the case. The bike does have a “walking mode” activated by holding a handlebar button, which helps if trying to push the huge bike up an incline, etc.ĭenago says that despite the bike’s name and target market (commuters), it has actually been surprisingly popular among older customers due to its comfort, large size, and upright seating position from the swept-back handlebar and adjustable stem. This size does make for a smooth and comfortable ride, along with the bike’s large 27″ x 2.6″ tires, suspension in both the seatpost and fork and its wide padded saddle. And if you’re too big for most bikes, this might be just what you’re looking for. ![]() I wasn’t able to test whether the S/M size would feel better for me on the whole, but definitely consider test-riding if you’re on the borderline of Denago’s sizing chart. But I’m 6′ and still wished the saddle could go lower than its lowest position (38″ from the ground) on the L/XL bike. Denago’s size chart suggests S/M size for riders 5’0″-5’9″ and L/XL for 5’9″-6’4″. I mentioned above that the bike is big, and I don’t say that lightly. Extras: Monochrome LCD display with speedometer, battery gauge, PAS level indicator, odometer/tripmeter and PIN code lock left-side thumb throttle cadence sensor metal front and rear fenders rear rack kickstand integrated headlight rear reflector with battery operated tail light (2x AAA).Brakes: Zoom Hydraulic disc brakes, 180 mm rotors.Battery: 48V/13.6Ah (652.8 Wh), frame-integrated, removable, included 3 amp charger.Top speed: 20 mph (32 km/h) throttle, 28 mph (45 km/h) pedal assist (Class III).Motor: 500 W rear geared hub motor with 50 Nm torque.At $1,799, it’s not quite a budget bike, but it’s still reasonably priced compared to the field given all of its extras, though there are still a few different decisions we wish they would have made. The Denago Commute is a bike that puts a premium on rider comfort and has quite a few built-in features that won’t leave you wanting for much. ![]() Nurse Police Team (NPT) program highlights.Denago sent us a review copy of the step-through model of its $1,799 Commute bike, and we’ll take you through what we thought of this big, well-equipped, and comfort-focused bike. Here are some more stats from the program's first five weeks in action: The program will run for the next three months, at which time it will be evaluated for further continuation. ![]() Officer-nurse teams will continue working on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays between 11 a.m. In it's first weekend, the NPT pilot program recorded 25 interactions. Police say 64 emergency room visits were averted as a result.īetween Windsor Regional Hospital’s Met and Ouellette Campuses, about 7,000 mental health and substance use patients are seen at the emergency departments each year, but officials say not every patient requires emergency room services. The NPT, which pairs nursing professionals from Windsor Regional Hospital with frontline police officers, aims to offer proactive care to those struggling with substance use disorders.ĭuring its first five weeks, the team has handled 127 supports for service, offering on-site clinical assessments, and 116 referrals to appropriate community resources. The Windsor Police Service says its new Nurse Police Team (NPT) has handled 127 supports for service in its first five weeks of operation. ![]()
