BZEN Milano in review: So light, so pure – riding fun under 20 kg

Sometimes less really is more – and the BZEN Milano Single Speed proves it perfectly. In a detailed review, Focus Online highlights how this bike seamlessly combines elegance, light weight, and purist riding pleasure.

Slim design, barely recognisable as an e-bike

The battery is discreetly integrated into the slim frame, giving the Milano a classic and elegant appearance. Clean lines, high-quality workmanship, and fine details shape the first impression – this is understatement at its best.

Natural riding feel with smooth support

The rear-hub motor provides gentle yet powerful assistance. It delivers noticeable support without abrupt power surges, giving the rider a sense of being in control at all times. Ideal for relaxed city rides with a sporty character.

Low-maintenance and efficient

Another highlight is the maintenance-free Gates Carbon Belt Drive, which runs quietly and cleanly – no chain oil, no mess. While the single-speed setup may seem unusual at first, it works superbly in everyday urban use. Starting and moderate inclines are handled effortlessly thanks to the torquey motor.

Sporty, light, and dynamic

Once the 25 km/h assistance limit is reached, the Milano continues to ride surprisingly lightly and efficiently. Riders who like to pedal actively benefit from a smooth transition to pure muscle power, extending battery range even further.

Conclusion: Ideal for purists and city commuters

With a weight clearly under 20 kg, the BZEN Milano remains nimble, agile, and easy to carry – whether up stairs or around town. It’s perfect for anyone who appreciates a clean design, simplicity, and reliable technology – without unnecessary extras.

The new e-bike brand BZEN offers with the Milano a chic single-speed pedelec with Gates Carbon drive belt. It looks good and drives well too.
