NRS Riverdale
Our verdict
A clear five-year frame warranty, but a 136 kg limit, no written low-battery lockout and two different weights.
Best for: users well under 136 kg who value a stated warranty.
Not for: anyone who wants a written promise that it will not lower on a low battery.
Based on the maker's published documents. We have not physically tested this product.
