Roam - Blue

Mapfour Roam Blue at GOfatbike

The Mapfour Roam in blue is an electric bike designed to cover long distances on a single charge. The blue color gives the bike a fresh, calm look, while the technology underneath remains the same. You sit upright on an aluminum frame, the mid-drive motor provides smooth assistance, and the dual suspension absorbs bumps and curbs. The wide Kenda tires keep you stable on the road. Below, we go through what the blue Roam can do and what to consider before you choose.

Comfort and Riding Position

The aluminum frame keeps the blue Roam light enough for easy handling. The 100 mm front and 60 mm rear suspension soften impacts from bumps and curbs, reducing strain on your wrists and back. The wide 27.5 x 2.35 Kenda tires roll steadily and maintain direction on uneven surfaces. You sit upright, which remains comfortable even on longer rides. This bike is built for comfort, not a sporty racing posture.

Range and Battery

The removable 720 Wh LG battery takes you a good distance on a single charge. Exactly how far depends on your weight, wind, hills, and the chosen assist level, so expect some variation. It’s convenient that you can remove the battery to charge it indoors, handy if you store the bike outside. It takes about two hours to fully charge. Built-in GPS security controlled via your phone keeps the blue Roam tracked.

Motor, Speed, and Regulations

The 250-watt mid-motor smoothly pushes you off from a standstill and makes climbing easier. With settings from Eco to Turbo, you choose between maximum range and extra boost, with assistance up to 25 km/h. Above that, you pedal yourself and there is no throttle. This way, the blue Roam counts as a regular electric bike: no license, registration, or helmet required. We advise against tuning it up, as that would take the bike out of this legal category and void your warranty.

Gears, brakes, and lighting

With the Shimano Nexus hub, you shift in five steps, even while stopped at a traffic light. The hydraulic Tektro HD-R280 disc brakes front and rear allow you to brake short and controlled, even in the rain. Front and rear lights with K-marking make you clearly visible in the dark. The blue Roam rides calmly and predictably, exactly what you want for daily city rides.

Who is this model for

The blue Roam suits those who ride somewhat longer distances daily and don’t want to charge constantly. The large removable battery and upright seating position make it suitable for commuting and weekend rides. If you prefer something very light and nimble to lift often, this is not your bike: with the suspension and battery, it weighs a bit more. If you choose the blue version mainly for the color, know that you get the same bike otherwise.
