Advance Flex
The Pure Advance Flex is built around compact storage: folding handlebars, a narrow folded footprint and a 16.2 kg listed weight. Its 25 km/h speed, 40 km range claim and IP65 rating make it a transport-first commuter rather than a performance model.
Is the Pure Electric Advance Flex worth considering?
The Flex is most compelling where storage space is the real problem, such as an apartment, car boot or mixed train commute. Buyers who do not need the compact fold can get more battery or suspension for less money elsewhere.
