Urban Design
Now let’s be clear: the CERO One has a little bit of everything – as it pertains to an urban ride. If you live on a dirt road or are looking for that backcountry adventure, the CERO One is not for you. This bike is excellent however, for cruising on bike paths, no-hassle commuting, and running errands.
The smaller 22” tire on the front makes for unparalleled maneuverability, while the dual modular racks make virtually any errand achievable.
