S20 Pro dark gray at Fatbikeskopen.nl

Dark gray sits between the S20 Pro's other two versions. Less stark than black, less light than the gray version, and in practice the color that looks dirty the least quickly. Otherwise, this is the same bike: an 864 Wh battery, dual rear suspension, and hydraulic brakes on 20-inch tires. So the choice is purely about appearance, not performance. What customers want to know before buying remains the same: how does it compare with the V20, how far can you go, and what does that lever on the handlebars do?

Difference between the S20 Pro and the V20

Both have 20-inch fatbike tires, a 250W motor, and hydraulic brakes. The difference comes down to two things. The battery here is 48V 18Ah, providing 864 Wh, while most V20 versions have a smaller capacity. And at the rear, a dual suspension system works instead of a single element. You notice the latter especially when someone is riding on the back, because that is when real weight is placed on the suspension. If you are only looking for the familiar V20 shape, this is a heavier version of it.

Range of the S20 Pro dark gray

The manufacturer states 60 kilometers. That is modest for 864 Wh, and precisely for that reason reliable: this is a figure you can actually achieve in everyday use rather than a laboratory test value. If you ride economically, you can exceed it. A full charge takes six hours, so charging it in the evening is the habit you want to establish. You can unclip the battery and charge it indoors if your bike is kept in a shed without a power outlet. If you regularly carry someone on the back, expect a shorter range than the stated figure.

The throttle up to 6 km/h

The lever on the handlebars provides walk assistance. Up to 6 kilometers per hour, the motor propels the bike forward so you can walk alongside it, for example out of a storage area or up a driveway. Above that speed, you have to pedal yourself. This keeps the S20 Pro within the Dutch rules for ordinary electric bicycles: no license plate and no helmet requirement. With a 35-kilogram bike, you will use this function more often than you expect, especially when entering or leaving a busy bicycle parking facility.

Brakes, suspension and security

Hydraulic disc brakes at the front and rear in an improved version. Full suspension, with dual suspension at the rear. The wide tires absorb most tram tracks, speed bumps and loose paving. You start it with an NFC chip: no key to lose and no ignition lock to force. The lighting is permanently mounted on the front and rear of the bike and powered by the main battery, so you never have to worry about separate batteries when it gets dark earlier. The discs and pads use standard sizes, so maintenance can be carried out at any service point without a special order.

Who is the dark gray S20 Pro for?

The bike is approved for two people, with a maximum total weight of 150 kilograms and a recommended rider height of approximately 1.50 to 1.95 meters. That covers a broad group of riders. One thing to keep in mind: the step-through height is high, so you have to swing your leg over the frame, and its 35-kilogram weight makes it unsuitable for storing on an upper floor. If you want something you can lift or take in the car, consider a folding model. For daily trips to school or work on paved roads, this equipment is more than sufficient.
