Description

When I first started advising customers on commuter e-bikes, one of the most common things I heard was: “I just want something I can jump on without thinking about it.” Not a project. Not a maintenance schedule. Just a bike that works, rides well, and fits into daily life without friction. The ADO Air 28 was built for exactly that kind of rider.

The step-through frame means no swinging your leg over a high crossbar — you step on, settle into the upright riding position, and go. The torque-sensor pedal assist picks up naturally as you pedal, delivering smooth, proportional power that feels like the bike working with you rather than launching you forward uninvited. For stop-start city riding, canal path commuting, or relaxed weekend routes — the Air 28 feels calm and confident throughout.

700c wheels for an efficient, rolling ride

The Air 28 uses 700×45c tyres — larger wheels than most folding commuters — which means better rolling efficiency and a more stable, planted feel at speed. Combined with the lockout suspension fork, you can dial in the ride feel: open the suspension for comfort on uneven paths, lock it out for efficient riding on smoother tarmac.

A drivetrain that removes the chore

The carbon belt drive replaces the traditional chain entirely — no oil, no rust, no maintenance routine. It runs silently and keeps itself clean, which matters if you’re arriving at work or stopping for a coffee. The bike comes fitted with an automatic sensor headlight and electric rear light for year-round visibility, and the IPX7-rated display handles rain without flickering.

This is a proper, practical step-through commuter e-bike — not an entry-level bike with a motor bolted on. If everyday cycling should feel this straightforward, the Air 28 is the bike that proves it.

Key Features

Low Step-Through Frame — Upright Riding Position — Easy to mount in everyday clothing and comfortable to ride for extended periods. No crossbar to negotiate, no awkward dismounts in traffic.

Torque Sensor Pedal Assist — Smooth, responsive power matched to your pedalling effort. No sudden jolts, no over-assistance on flat sections — just natural-feeling support throughout the ride.

Carbon Belt Drive — Silent, grease-free, and virtually maintenance-free. Replaces the traditional chain with a clean, long-lasting alternative that’s ideal for year-round commuting.

Lockout Suspension Fork — 700×45c Tyres — Adjustable for road conditions: open for comfort on rougher paths, locked for efficiency on smooth tarmac. Larger wheels deliver better rolling speed and stability.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes + IPX7 Display — Reliable stopping in all weather, and a display that handles UK rain without complaint. Practical and dependable for daily use.

Electric Bike UK Laws

There are a few regulations surrounding electric bikes in the UK so we thought we would provide you with a summary of those below:

You must be aged 14 or over in the UK to ride an electric bike.

You do not need tax, insurance or a driving license to ride an electric bike.

To be classified as an electrically assisted pedal cycle (EAPC) in the UK, an electric bike must fulfil a certain set of criteria, including:

  • Pedals - The electric bike must have pedals capable of propelling it, and motor assistance should only be provided when the pedals are moving.
  • Motor - The motor’s power output must be no more than 250 watts (W).
  • Speed - The motor should not be able to propel the e-bike when it’s travelling faster than 15.5mph.

Please note that if your electric bike does not meet the above 3 points, then you cannot ride on public roads. Some of our bikes exceed the 250W limit, so these are only to be used on private land with the landowner's permission.

It is the responsibility of the rider to wear protective clothing, however this is not a legal requirement.
