[CAR REVIEW] ADO A28: Elegant, stylish, reliable, but expensive…

Beautiful Design

The ADO brand has a great advantage over its competitors, which is the R&D department located in Singapore and meets international standards. Thanks to investing in research, ADO brings consumers high-quality products in terms of design and functionality, and ADO A28 is a typical example.

The ADO A28 is designed with a compact Urban style for urban environments. The iconic feature of the A28’s single pivot frame design is its flexibility, easy familiarity, and control. The frame is made from aluminum in a choice of two colors, beige or gray, which is minimalistic but extremely eye-catching.

Combined with the front basket, brown leather seat, white front/rear fenders, and especially the bright colored tires, the ADO A28 presents an extremely attractive appearance, following the trend of elegance, modernity, and freedom. There’s also a touch of European flair and a classic elegance, as if it came out of romantic French movies.

Another big advantage is that the classic design of the ADO A28 also makes the product suitable for all user demographics, including both men and women, children, young people, and the elderly.

Modern Equipment

Alongside the beautiful and graceful design, ADO A28 comes with a range of pre-installed convenience features. Typically, users would have to purchase these accessories separately, leading to design inconsistencies and compromised performance, such as baskets, rear racks, or even kickstands…

In addition, the ADO A28 also has many notable features. First and foremost, it is the LED lighting system for both the front and rear lights. Especially, this lighting system also has light sensors (automatic on/off), so users do not have to manually adjust and avoid forgetting to turn off the lights, leading to wasted energy.

Another notable feature is the hydraulic disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels for the premium ADO A28 Air version. The Lite version, on the other hand, will only have conventional mechanical brakes.

However, both versions of the ADO A28 are equipped with large-sized aluminum rims. The tire size is up to 700C x 45C, and especially the bike uses 3-layer rubber tires that are resistant to punctures. Thanks to this, the bike can withstand a load of up to 120 kg.

Furthermore, the ADO A28 is also equipped with a carbon belt drive system, with a durability of up to 30,000 km without maintenance. This feature allows users to eliminate the worry of chain slippage or dirt accumulation.

When combined with the brushless motor with a power of 350W, the ADO A28 provides an extremely smooth and silky riding experience. Even the faint humming of the motor and the belt can create an exciting feeling every time you accelerate.

Moreover, the ADO A28 is equipped with a “premium” front suspension system, with adjustable damping levels and multiple suspension settings to suit different road conditions (urban roads, highways, rough terrain…). This suspension system is supplied by a reputable German brand.

In terms of technology, the premium ADO A28 Air version is equipped with the latest generation G-Drive 5.0 technology for a more smooth and reasonable power assist customization. Meanwhile, the A28 Lite version will still have the standard pedal-assist sensor.

Notably, ADO has provided the A28 with a 9.6Ah battery pack from the well-known manufacturer Samsung. According to the manufacturer, with this battery pack, the ADO A28 can travel up to 50km in pure electric mode and 100km in pedal-assist mode. Real-world experience shows that this estimated figure is quite accurate.

Furthermore, ADO “spoils” the users by providing a $10 million USD insurance package for fire incidents caused by the battery in any country worldwide. At the same time, the included charger also features full safety functions: automatic power-off when a short circuit or overload occurs.
