Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- The adjustable stem makes it easy to create a different position on the bike.
- Bafang mid-motor with no fewer than 9 settings always gives you enough assistance.
- Powerful hydraulic disc brakes that are also easy to dose.
- Tyres with an anti-puncture layer, so that you don't get a flat tire.
- Due to the lack of suspension, it can feel a little less comfortable on bad roads.

Light and versatile
The light Cortina E-Foss MM is a joy to ride. The frame is not heavy, so to speak, but strong. As a result, you can use it as a city bike, but also as a touring bike. And thanks to the adjustable stem, you can choose whether you want a more sporty or more comfortable position. An ideal all-round e-bike.
The Cortina E-Foss MM is more than just a nice looking e-bike. Practical, powerful and safe. And all that at a very pleasant price point.
The heart of the E-Foss is the Bafang mid-motor. With no less than 80Nm, this engine is very powerful on paper. However, due to the specific power delivery, we recommend this bike for flat terrain, where the Cortina E-Foss MM has no problem with strong headwinds. The reliability and the large number of 9 assistance settings offer many advantages. Because you can choose which battery capacity you want, you decide how much range you'll get out of your e-bike on each trip.
High-quality parts
Fortunately, the E-Foss has powerful disc brakes. Very safe in today's busy traffic. In order to control the motor, this e-bike also needs good gears. The 8-speed gear hub is extremely suitable for this and offers a good range of gears.
- Controleer eerst of er een speciale verlichtingsknop op je display zit. Druk de verlichtingsknop kort in om de verlichting in te schakelen. Zie jij geen verlichtingsknop op je display? Zet dan eerst het display aan met de aan/uit knop. Hou vervolgens de + toets een paar seconden ingedrukt. Zo schakel je de verlichting in en op deze manier kan je de verlichting ook weer uitzetten.

The very cheapest option (you'll notice) - and not suitable for rear child seat
I was looking for an e-bike with good value for money and quickly arrived at this bike. There is no other bike in this price range with disc brakes, a powerful motor, etc.... After a short test ride, I bought two - one for myself and one for my partner. On its own, it really is a great bike for the money. If you want a simple city bike for little money, this is an okay option. Again for 1400 Euros, there are really no other options (if you want disc brakes). But. two weeks after our purchase, we traded in both bikes. These are our reasons: - The gentlemen at Mantel disagree with us here, and advised us otherwise, but our experience is that this bike is absolutely NOT suitable for a child seat on the back. The side stand is not sturdy enough for that, and very importantly - other more stable stands do NOT fit this bike. So putting a child on the bike and getting off is a drama. We even had to buy an adaptor to get the seat on - the gentlemen at Mantel were not aware of this either. - The Bafang M300 mid-motor is powerful in itself and okay for the money. BUT the fact that there is no torque sensor on it means that this bike cycles very unnaturally. You get 0% or 100% of the power based on the movement of the crankset. The motor only goes to 25km/h on the highest setting. On the lower settings, the motor stops at 20km/h or even lower. This is quite annoying. - The frame of the e-Foss is very weird - it wobbles tremendously. It's just not rigid or stable. The guys at Mantel agree with us here, though. - You can see on the e-Foss that money has been saved everywhere. All the components are the cheapest that there are. We were not bothered by this but you might notice it over time. In the end, we found it too dangerous to ride this bike with our toddler. Then we looked at the Cortina 'family' bike (with Bosch Active Line Plus), did a test ride and it was a breath of fresh air! This one costs 1000 Euros more, and that's a lot of money, but is then also super stable with child behind AND I must say that the Bosch system cycles MUCH nicer. Feels responsive, natural and very powerful. Luckily, we could just trade it in (thanks Mantel!). So my advice would be - if you are considering the e-Foss, also do a test ride of a perhaps slightly more expensive alternative with e.g. Bosch system. It might also be worthwhile for you to save a little longer anyway and buy a really nice bike that makes you happy. If you really have very little money AND you don't have a child who has to ride on the back, then with the e-Foss you do have a special bargain for 1400 Euros and will probably be ok with that.
