Dutch Comfort
Dutch bikes are renowned for their comfort, and upright riding position, and the Arroyo is the archetype of this bicycle design philosophy. Featuring a fully adjustable stem, swept back and laid back ride position, front and seatpost suspension, and an easy on and off frame design, the Arroyo will get you from A to B comfortably and enjoyably.

Powered by Bosch
The powerful Bosch Active Line Plus drive will power you (comfortably) up any hill quietly and confidently. Not only do you get best-of-class performance with Bosch, you also get unmatched reliability, quality and long term support.

Beyond the precise and powerful Bosch motor system, the Arroyo comes standard with high quality Schwalbe tires and hydraulic disc brakes to ensure you are fully in control wherever adventure takes you.
