Our take
ADO Air 28 Ultra
The Ultra is the upgraded Air 28: a Bafang H730 three-speed automatic motor (vs the Pro's H700 two-speed), giving roughly 24% more torque in low-speed mode. Battery, range, frame, brakes and weight are otherwise identical to the Air 28 Pro.
Himiway D5 (Zebra)
Sold in two sensor variants — torque or cadence — so check which one is in the basket; our record describes the torque version. Himiway's specification also lists a half-twist throttle, which needs separate type-approval to be road-legal in the UK.
