Solid, well-balanced bike for shorter rides
A beautiful, solid Cortina with strong value for money! The bike feels solid and offers exactly what you expect from it. I bought the carrier separately, ideal for my daughter's child seat. We enjoy every ride together, with the weight of the bike staying perfectly balanced, even on hills. This really gives a safe feeling! At 20 kg, the bike is nice and light, and the handy 'walk' function helps enormously on steep uphills. Nice that the handlebars are adjustable and there are standard parts on the bike that are available at any bike shop. The saddle is a bit hard though, so not ideal for longer distances. The battery range - between 40 and 80 km - is also more suitable for shorter rides. A plus for me is that the battery is not removable, so theft is less likely to be a concern.

Great bike
It took Mantel a fairly long time to deliver the bike roadworthy, but then you have a super nice bike!

The Cortina E-Lett is THE tough sexy city bike you want to be seen on !
As an avid cyclist, I have now bought my first E-Bike. The Cortina E-Lett is a sleek, sporty bike that is sure to attract attention. It is ideal for city use and commuting. The bike is sleekly designed and rides very sporty despite the lack of gears. The Promovec rear-wheel motor provides sufficient drive power via the low-maintenance belt drive. In the fastest mode, you whiz through traffic at 25km/h. Which was the deciding factor for me to purchase the Cortina E-lett: - Belt drive: Less maintenance and longer life compared to a chain. - Maintenance-friendly: The bike is designed to minimise maintenance. - Price: The very competitive price and fast delivery at Mantel makes this bike an excellent choice for those looking for an affordable, quality city bike. Contact with Mantel was excellent. Both by phone and email, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The bike was delivered home virtually roadworthy within a day, which was a big plus for me. The only things left to do were fitting the pedals and adjusting the handlebars, after which the cycling fun could begin. Bike has been in my possession for 3 weeks now and nothing but pleasure from my purchase ! Still in doubt? This is THE city bike / commuter bike you will enjoy riding. The bike rides great, it steers tight, it has various "modes" for speed and it offers a lot of comfort during rides around town and to work. This is the city/ commuter bike you will enjoy riding. The combination of the sporty design, the ease of maintenance and the competitive price at Mantel make the Cortina E-Lett an excellent choice.

Super nice bike for city use.
It really is a fine sporty bike. No fuss and everything feels solid and sound. No gears though, bike is fine for city use. if you want to cycle long touring trips/distances, I would opt for multiple gears.
