Who it is for

The Kettler Flair L-N is for families and commuters who want a compact longtail without paying premium prices. The Passenger Kit adds a padded bench and handrails on the long rear carrier, so children can ride along right away. Small 20-inch wheels keep the load low, and the bike is rated for 250 kg in total.

Riding and everyday use

The Bosch Cargo Line Cruise motor with 85 Nm gives strong support from a standstill with a loaded rear. The stepless hub lets you change gear at a standstill, and Magura MT5 four-piston brakes stop reliably. A 70 mm SR Suntour fork softens rough city streets. This version uses a chain instead of a belt: slightly cheaper, but it needs regular cleaning and oiling.

Before you buy

Check the battery capacity of your offer, as it determines the range with children on board. Ask your dealer how many children and how much weight the rear carrier is approved for with your seats. If you want the lowest maintenance, the Flair L-N Belt costs a little more.
